“Choosing a handful of outstanding programs or personalities to nominate in any category is a daunting task given the sheer volume of high quality options today on broadcast and cable television and streaming services,” said Ed Martin, BTJA president. “But after much careful consideration and thoughtful debate I believe we have filled all of our categories with the most deserving nominees.”
BTJA is the collective voice of journalists who regularly cover television for TV viewers, radio listeners and online audiences.
The winners will be revealed live at the star-studded Critics’ Choice Awards gala on Thursday, January 11, 2018, in Santa Monica, Calif. The awards show will return to The CW Network and will be broadcast LIVE that night.
