13.16: Awards Season Extravaganza

The 2024 film and TV awards season is impressive already. We’ve already crowned one EGOT winner. One awards show tied itself for the number of actors of color to win an acting award in one year. One TV show set a record for the number of losses it scored over all its years on the air. One Black woman has become only the second Black actress to win lead actress in a comedy series at a particular awards show.

Listen in to find out who the EGOT winner is, how many years it had been since since this many people of color had won acting awards in one year, which show never won a single (high-deserved) award, and which actress won lead actress and how long it had been since another Black woman had won that award.

We cover many more awards than these! We tell you what we liked and didn’t like about the awards shows we’ve watched so far: the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice Awards, and the Emmys.

Next week: The season 5 finale of “Fargo.”
