Critics' Choice Television Awards: Die Gewinner 2015

Die amerikanischen Fernsehkritiker der Broadcast Television Journalists Association haben am gestrigen Sonntag zum fünften Mal ihre jährlichen Critics' Choice Television Awards ausgerichtet. Bei den Gewinnern lassen sich mehrere Tendenzen ausmachen.

Während bei den Nominierungen noch "Justified" und "Olive Kitteridge" mit je fünf Nennungen auf Augenhöhe lagen, konnte die HBO-Miniserie schließlich drei Trophäen einsacken (Miniserie, Hauptdarstellerin, Supporting), während die nach sechs Jahren beendete FX-Serie es nur auf eine Trophäe für Gastdarsteller Sam Elliott brachte.

Bei der Vergabe der Preise blieben die Journalisten ansonsten ihren bekannten Favoriten vergangener Jahre treu - "The Americans", Taraji P. Henson, Alison Janney - oder zeigten sich progressiv durch Auszeichnungen für "Transparents" Jeffrey Tambor (der aber auch durch "Arrested Development" in die Kategorie der 'guten alten Bekannten' fällt). Bob Odenkirk und Jonathan Banks konnten nach dem Ende von "Breaking Bad" dank Dank "Better Call Saul" endlich einmal aus den langen Schatten von Bryan Cranston und Aaron Paul treten.

Die wohl größte Überraschung dürfte sein, dass die junge Serie "Jane the Virgin" trotz aller nachlesbarer Journalisten-Liebe ohne Preis ausging. Stattdessen wurde etwa "Silicon Valley" als beste Comedyserie geehrt. Vielleicht hatten die Autoren mit den schrägen Tastaturen-Jockeys in einer noch schrägeren Arbeitswelt aus der HBO-Comedy dann doch mehr Identifikationspotential als mit der ungeplant schwanger gewordenen jungen Latina und ihren Autorenträumen. Bei den Comedy-Hauptdarstellerinnen stach Amy Schumer zudem Gina Rodriguez aus.

Weitere überraschende Ergebnisse sind der Reality-Competition-Preis für "Face Off" von Syfy, wo diverse publikumsstarke Formate leer ausgingen. Gleiches gilt für die animierte Serie "Archer", die gegen zahlreiche Platzhirsche der Zuschauergunst gewann: "Family Guy", "Die Simpsons" oder "South Park".
