Allison Janney, Tatiana Maslany, and Orange is the New Black win big at the Critics' Choice Awards
The Critics' Choice Television awards aired tonight and I have to say, they nailed it for the most part. Breaking Bad won for Best Drama Series in it's final year, while Orange Is the New Black took home Best Comedy Series. Matthew McConaughey won for Best Lead Actor in a Drama for True Detective and gave a really inspiring speech as to what makes TV so great, and why actors have transitioned from film to television.
My girl, Tatiana Maslany won for a second time for her roles on Orphan Black. Just look how adorable her reaction was. Very well deserved and I hope the Emmy voters take note. She is easily one of, if not, the best actress on television at the moment. Do not fight me on this one. My other homegirl, Jessica Lange won for Best Lead Actress in a Miniseries for American Horror Story: Coven but wasn't there to pick up her award. Bummer. But still happy to see her win!
Bellamy Young took home Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for Scandal. YES! Are people finally starting to realize the brilliance that is Mellie Grant? Because after Olivia, she is without a doubt my favorite character on that show. Allison Janney also took home not one, but two awards tonight: Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Mom and Best Guest Performer in a Drama Series for Masters of Sex.

I'd say the only ones that I truly disagree with are Jim Parsons for Best Actor in a Comedy (should have gone to Adam Scott for Parks and Recreation) and Best Talk Show (when is Conan going to get some award love?). Overall though, I'm very happy with these choices. I can only hope the Emmys will be this good.
