Netflix, FX’s ‘Feud’ Lead Critics’ Choice TV Nominations

FX’s “Feud: Bette and Joan” led the Broadcast Television Assn.’s Critics’ Choice Television Awards nominations with six mentions, including best limited series and best actress in a TV movie or limited series (Jessica Lange). HBO’s “Big Little Lies” picked up five.

But it was Netflix that was the overall nominations hog, gobbling up 20 nominations for a variety of series including “The Crown,” “Stranger Things,” “American Vandal, “GLOW,” “Godless” and “BoJack Horseman.” HBO was a few paces back with 15 nominations.

Joining “Feud” and “Big Little Lies” in the limited series category were “American Vandal,” “Fargo,” “Godless” and “The Long Road Home.”
