Pose is nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Drama and Russian Doll for Comedy. Both are nommed for Program of the Year and Outstanding New Program. Pose star Billy Porter is up for Individual Achievement In Drama and Russian Doll actress and co-creator Natasha Lyonne is nommed in the Individual Achievement In Comedy category.

Additional nominees for the coveted Program Of The Year award are HBO’s Chernobyl and Game Of Thrones, Netflix miniseries When They See Us and Amazon’s British hit Fleabag.

Amazon follows with five nominations while CBS and PBS each have four; NBC and Showtime have three; and BBC America and Pop TV have two. AMC, Comedy Central, Disney Jr., Lifetime, MSNBC, Starz, and TBS each has one.
The TCA Awards honor the best series, creators and stars of the 2018-2019 season for outstanding achievements in news and information, youth, reality, drama, comedy, miniseries, and sketch/variety shows. Winners will be announced at the invitation-only presentation on Saturday, August 3 at the Beverly Hilton. Comedy duo and fellow TCA Awards nominees Desus & Mero will host.
“From departing juggernauts that changed the TV game to new shows that test the boundaries of what the medium can do and be, this has been a landmark season for television across all networks and platforms,” said Daniel Fienberg, TCA President and The Hollywood Reporter Chief TV Critic. “This strong nomination roster represents a diverse blend of talented performers, many of whom are also creators, and groundbreaking content that made us laugh, cry and gasp. Every category is bursting with hard choices, but we couldn’t ask for a better problem to have as we gather together to honor yet another terrific television season and celebrate 35 years of the TCA Awards.”
The 35th Annual TCA Awards coincide with the 2019 Summer TCA Press Tour, running from Tuesday, July 23 through Thursday, August 8.
