We're still four days away from the Emmys, but the Television Critics Association has made its picks for the best shows and performances of 2021.
Apple TV +; HBO; Des Willie/Netflix 'Ted Lasso,' 'I May Destroy You,' and 'The Crown' earn 2021 TCA awards.
The annual TCA Awards winners were announced Wednesday, and the list is full of Emmy nominees: The Apple TV+ hit Ted Lasso took home the Outstanding Achievement in Comedy prize, while Netflix's The Crown won its first TCA award for Outstanding Achievement in Drama.
