2018 TCA Awards Winners: Congrats to Keri Russell and 'The Americans'
FX was the top winner at the Television Critics Association awards for the third year in a row.
"The Americans" and star Keri Russell got top honors for the FX show's final season, with "Friends" earning the Heritage Award, and the late Anthony Bourdain's CNN show winning for News and Information.
Here's a statement from Daniel Fienberg, TCA President and The Hollywood Reporter TV critic:
"This year's TCA Awards offered the welcome opportunity to say goodbye to one of the era's most critically acclaimed shows in 'The Americans,' a drama that combined espionage thrills, high emotional stakes and international intrigue that couldn't have been more current.
Our other winners included new shows like 'Killing Eve' and 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,' rebooted shows like 'Queer Eye,' the anthological darkness of another 'American Crime Story' chapter and the hopefully timeless and unending wonder of 'Sesame Street.' As we always say, TV offers something for every audience in 2018 and if you can't find anything to watch, you're not trying hard enough and you need to read some more TV critics!"
