The Broadcast Critics Association is best known for the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, now in its 18th year, which have become a fairly accurate predictor of how the Oscars will vote. They established the TV awards two years ago. In addition to honoring current shows, they also give awards for promising pilots.
