\n

\n\tThe Muppet Show<\/em> 50th anniversary program with special guest star Sabrina Carpenter<\/a> was nominated for a Television<\/a> Critics Association Award on Friday (June 12). It is competing for best achievement in variety, talk, or sketch with the usual suspects in that category at awards<\/a> shows \u2013 The Daily Show<\/em>, Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em>, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver<\/em>, Late Night with Seth Meyers<\/em>, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/em> and Saturday Night Live<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tCarpenter was an executive producer of The Muppet Show<\/em> special, which aired on ABC and Disney+ on Feb. 4. She also appeared on the program, engaging in fun banter with Miss Piggy and singing a pair of No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits \u2013 \u201cIslands in the Stream\u201d (which she performed alongside Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy) and her own \u201cManchild.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSeth Rogen<\/a> and Maya Rudolph<\/a> were guest stars on the program. Rogen also served as an executive producer.<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo classic, but recently embattled, CBS programs are nominated \u2014 The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/em> for program of the year and 60 Minutes<\/em> for best achievement in news and information. The Late Show<\/em>, which was hosted by David Letterman<\/a> before Stephen Colbert<\/a> took it over in 2015, ended a 33-year run on May 21. 60 Minutes<\/em> is going through one of the most turbulent passages in its 58-year history, with the recent firings of Cecilia Vega, Sharyn Alfonsi and arguably the show\u2019s most respected and high-profile correspondent, Scott Pelley.<\/p>\n

\n\tHeated Rivalry<\/em>, Industry <\/em>and Widow\u2019s Bay<\/em> are this year\u2019s leading nominees, with five nods each.\u00a0Next in line with four bids each are Hacks, The Pitt <\/em>and Pluribus<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tHeated Rivalry, <\/em>which generated far more mainstream attention and acclaim than most would have thought possible for a gay hockey drama, is nominated for program of the year. In addition, both stars, Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, are nominated for individual achievement in drama.<\/p>\n

\n\tDocumentaries about two famous Martins \u2013 actor Martin Short<\/a> (Marty, Life Is Short<\/em>) and director Martin Scorsese (Mr. Scorsese<\/em>) \u2013 are nominated for best achievement in news and information.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn lieu of lead, supporting, and\/or guest acting races, TCA has two non-gendered individual achievement categories \u2014 one for comedy, one for drama. Hacks<\/em> stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, who are usually slotted in lead and supporting categories, respectively, at awards shows, are competing against each other here for best individual achievement in comedy.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is the first year the organization is honoring achievements in animation and for international series, bringing the total number of categories to 14.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe TCA includes more than 220 professional TV journalists from the United States and Canada. Winners from this, the 42nd annual event, will be announced this summer across TCA\u2019s social media accounts.<\/p>\n
