2013 Critics’ Choice Television Award Winners Announced

The Broadcast Television Journalists Association handed out the 3rd annual Critics’ Choice Television Awards on Monday night and leading the way was The Big Bang Theory, who scored three wins, including acting awards for Simon Helberg and Kaley Cuoco. The rest of the comedy winners included a repeat for Louis C.K. and a first victory for reigning Emmy winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus, while Patton Oswalt was honored for his guest stint on Parks and Recreation this season and Eden Sher picked up her first award for playing Sue Heck by tying with Cuoco for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Meanwhile, on the drama side, Breaking Bad scored two wins, including one for Bryan Cranston, and Orphan Black‘s Tatiana Maslany earned Best Actress in a Drama Series, defeating the likes of Claire Danes, Vera Farmiga, and Keri Russell en route. Parenthood‘s Monica Potter and Southland‘s Michael Cudlitz took home their respective supporting categories, while Jane Fonda was singled out for her performance on The Newsroom, which returns for a second season in July.

American Horror Story may have lost the award for Best Movie or Miniseries to HBO’s Behind the Candelabra, but they made up for it by sweeping the supporting categories thanks to performances by Sarah Paulson and Zachary Quinto. Michael Douglas and Elisabeth Moss won the leading categories for their performances in Candelabra and Sundance’s Top of the Lake, respectively. Finally, the reality/talk categories split their affections, as Duck Dynasty, Dancing with the Stars, Push Girls, The Voice, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart all were recognized.
