CRITICS’ CHOICE AWARDS UNVEILS
FALL 2016 MOST EXCITING NEW SERIES HONOREES
LOS ANGELES, CA (September 7, 2016) – Continuing a tradition dating back to 2011, the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA) has voted to determine The Most Exciting New Series for the coming Fall television season.
The honorees are selected and voted on by the BTJA from pilots, early episodes and trailers for shows premiering after July 1. The honorees announced today, in alphabetical order, are as follows:
• Atlanta (FX/FX Productions)
• Better Things (FX/FX Productions/3 Arts Entertainment/Pig Newton)
• Designated Survivor (ABC/ABC Studios/Genre Films/The Mark Gordon Company)
• The Good Place (NBC/3 Arts Entertainment/Universal Television/Fremulon)
• One Mississippi (Amazon/FX Productions/Pig Newton)
• Pitch (Fox/20th Century Fox Television/Left Coast Productions/Rhode Island Ave. Productions)
• This Is Us (NBC/20th Century Fox Television/Rhode Island Ave. Productions)
• Westworld (HBO/Warner Bros. Television/Bad Robot Productions/Kilter Films/Jerry Weintraub Productions)
“The freedom and creativity flowing in the television world today is without precedent,” noted BTJA President Joey Berlin. “We believe it’s valuable for our members to fulfill their responsibility to help viewers find the best new shows in such an incredibly crowded television environment – now – just as the fall season is getting underway. We can’t wait to see how these exciting new shows develop in the coming months.”
On November 14th, BTJA will announce the nominees in the television categories for their Critics’ Choice Awards. Nominees in the film categories determined by the Broadcast Film Critics Association will be announced December 1st. The 22nd annual Critics’ Choice Awards show, hosted by Silicon Valley star T.J. Miller, will be presented on December 11th at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, and will again be seen live on A&E, 8pm-11pm ET.

T.J. MILLER TO HOST THE 22ND ANNUAL CRITICS’ CHOICE AWARDS – SUNDAY, DEC 11TH
A&E Network, home of the Critics’ Choice Awards for the past two years, today announced a significant shift in the year-end awards season calendar. The 22nd Annual Critics’ Choice Awards show will now be kicking off the season as the first major award show honoring the best in film and television when it airs live on Sunday, December 11th at 8PM ET/5PM PT immediately following “Critics’ Choice Red Carpet Live” on A&E at 7PM ET/4PT.
Comedian T.J. Miller will return as host of the star-studded three-hour show celebrating the best in movies and television for the second consecutive year, it was announced today by Elaine Frontain Bryant, Executive Vice President of Programming for A&E, and Joey Berlin, President of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA). The show will broadcast live on A&E from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.
“T.J.’s tremendous presence and comedic humor complement our mission to make this show bigger and better year after year,” said Frontain Bryant. “We are honored to have him return as we lead the way into award season celebrating the best of television and film.”
“The BFCA and BTJA are very excited about moving the Critics’ Choice Awards from the traditional mid-January date to December 11th,” added Berlin. “This is the logical time for the Critics’ Choice Awards to be presented in the vanguard of the awards season. The role of critics is to assess new films and television shows and advise the public when they are initially released. So this new date is actually the most appropriate time for our annual year-end assessment of the finest achievements in both media. December 11th will be the first time all of the year’s major award contenders will be gathered together to celebrate the best of the best.”
T.J. Miller stars in HBO’s Emmy and Critics’ Choice Award-winning series “Silicon Valley,” which will begin shooting its fourth season this fall. The series took home the award for “Best Comedy Series” at last year’s Critics’ Choice Television Awards, and T.J. himself won “Best Supporting Actor.” T.J. starred opposite Ryan Reynolds in the hit Marvel feature “Deadpool” and his voice can be heard on the big screen in the Academy Award-winning “Big Hero 6” and “How to Train Your Dragon 2.” Prior to this, T.J. appeared in a number of major studio films including “Transformers 4,” “Cloverfield,” “She’s Out of My League,” “Extract,” “Seeking a Friend for End of the World,” “Our Idiot Brother,” “Yogi Bear 3D,” “Unstoppable,” and “Get Him to the Greek.” Among T.J.’s other projects are the recently wrapped “Office Christmas Party,” in which he stars opposite Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman; Steven Spielberg’s “Ready Player One,” which is currently filming; and “Gorburger,” a show so strange you have to google it to understand.
T.J. is a nationally touring stand-up comedian, with an hour-long Comedy Central stand-up special (that performed poorly) titled “T.J. Miller: No Real Reason.” He has released the hip-hop/pop/folk music album “The Extended Play E.P.” and hosts the weekly podcast “Cashing in with T.J. Miller” on nerdist.com. T.J. was also named one of Variety’s “Top 10 Comics to Watch,” and Entertainment Weekly’s “Next Big Things in Comedy.”
A&E Networks partnered with the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA) to become the exclusive home to the 2015 “Critics’ Choice Movie Awards” and “Critics’ Choice Television Awards.” That partnership continues through 2017, with the newly formatted three-hour ceremony that brings together both sets of accolades, and for years to come.
“The Critics’ Choice Awards” are bestowed annually by the BFCA and BTJA to honor the finest in cinematic and television achievement. The BFCA is the largest film critics’ organization in the United States and Canada, representing more than 300 television, radio and online critics.
