True Detective leads the list in overall nominations, which isn’t surprising since it was the critical darling of the past season. It’s also nice to see last year’s winner for best actress, Tatiana Maslay, has landed another slot — perhaps this year the Emmys will think to do the same. Some other names we’re glad to see land noms include Bryan Cranston, Keith David, Andre Braugher, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Truly, the TCA knows quality television and this is a nomination list we can be happy with. Though, one must ask, where the hell is the nomination for James Spader? He should just get every award.

What do you think of this year’s list for TCA nominations? Who do you think got snubbed? Let us know in the comments below!
