TCA Awards 2020: Watchmen, Unbelievable, and Succession Lead Nominations

The nominations for the 36th annual Television Critics Association have been announced. 

Instead of having in-person ceremony, winners will be announced later this summer. 

Awards shows are still adapting to a COVID-19 world.

Leading the way with four nominations each are HBO's Watchmen and Netflix's Unbelievable.
