Check Out the Critics' Choice TV Awards Nominations
HBO is winning the Game of Nominations for the 22nd Annual Critics' Choice Awards. The full list of television nominees was just revealed, and -- thanks to "Game of Thrones," "Westworld," "Veep," "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver," "Silicon Valley," and "All the Way" -- HBO led the pack with 22 nods.
Even with that much HBO adoration, though, it's a crime against both humanity and hosts that "Westworld" did not get more acting nominations. Where is Anthony Hopkins? And why just one nomination for Netflix's "Stranger Things"? At least Jeffrey Dean Morgan got AMC's "The Walking Dead" on the map with a guest role nomination for Negan, and Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan are both representing for Starz's perpetually under-appreciated "Outlander."
At any rate, ABC and Netflix followed HBO with 14 nominations each, then FX with 12 nods. The winners will be announced Sunday, December 11, 2016 at 8 p.m. ET on A&E, with T.J. Miller as host.

As Deadline noted, this year's Critics' Choice broadcast is already facing controversy, thanks to the Broadcast Television Journalists Association's decision to give Entertainment Weekly and People exclusive access to the nominations. "Several journalists resigned from the association in protest, including TVLine's Michael Ausiello, Variety's Debra Birnbaum, and IndieWire's Michael Schneider. The total resignations amounted close to 15% of the association's membership. As a result, this year's nominees were selected by a smaller pool than in previous years."
