The Television Critics Association has announced the list of nominees for the 2020 TCA Awards and HBO’s The Watchmen is leading the pack.

The groundbreaking limited series that stars Regina King is tied with Unbelievable, each nominated in four categories including Outstanding Achievement in Movie or Miniseries and Program of the Year. Unbelievable also picked up four nods. It’s also nominated for Outstanding New Program and Outstanding Individual Achievement in a drama for King.
