Good morning!
The Television Critics Awards happened over the weekend and it was a winning year for women, especially those we consider family. Sarah Paulson took home Individual Achievement in Drama for her role as Marcia Clark in American Crime Story: The People vs. OJ Simpson, the couple behind Making of a Murderer, Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, won Outstanding Achievement in Reality Programming, Lily Tomlin was given the Career Achievement Award, and out OJ EP Nina Jacobson took the stage with the cast to accept their awards for Outstanding Achievement in Drama and Program of the Year. Other winners include Samantha Bee (Outstanding Achievement in News and Information), Rachel Bloom (Individual Achievement in Comedy), Black-ish (Outstanding Achievement in Comedy) and The Mary Tyler Moore Show (Heritage Award). I congratulated Sarah on behalf of us all.
