The Television Critics Association unveiled its full list of TCA Awards nominations for 2022. For its 38th iteration, the annual awards are back to highlight the diverse range of content and spotlight the outstanding creatives that made it all possible in the 2021-2022 season. This year's awards keep up the status quo as HBO and HBO Max lead the streamers with a combined 21 nominations followed by Netflix at 13.

There's a bit of a changing of the guard as a breakout ABC comedy leads the charge this year in the form of Abbott Elementary. The freshman series leads all shows with five nominations, beating out the likes of heavyweights Severance, Better Call Saul, and Yellowjackets with four apiece as well as the globe-conquering powerhouse Squid Game with three. The public school series snagged a pair of Individual Achievement in Comedy nods for its multi-hyphenate creator and star Quinta Brunson and her comedian co-star Janelle James. Among other things, the show is also up for the coveted Program of the Year award. In terms of broadcast comedy, the series defined the category succeeding in spite of the shift towards streaming and placing itself firmly as a favorite in the awards.

Other shows receiving some love this year include beloved returning series Succession, Ted Lasso, Hacks, and This is Us, as well as the brilliant freshman outings of Ghosts, Reservation Dogs, Only Murders in the Building, and The White Lotus. In terms of individual achievements, some heated matchups await including a showdown between renowned comedians Bill Hader, Steve Martin, and Jason Sudeikis for the Individual Achievement in Comedy alongside the aforementioned Brunson and James. That pales in comparison to the all-too-crowded drama matchup which sees Dopesick's Michael Keaton facing down a field of Lee Jung-jae, Mandy Moore, Bob Odenkirk, Adam Scott, Melanie Lynskey, and Amanda Seyfried among others.

In terms of other content, documentaries The Beatles: Get Back and We Need to Talk About Cosby loom large in a news and information category that also features Netflix's The Tinder Swindler and legacy series Frontline and 60 Minutes while the long-running series The Amazing Race goes for the gold once again in the reality section. The variety category, meanwhile, is once again headlined by John Oliver who looks to stave off the typical late-night hosts as well as beloved sketch comedies I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson, A Black Lady Sketch Show, and Saturday Night Live.

This year's TCA Awards will be held on Saturday, August 6, at The Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, California. With the pandemic getting under control, this will mark the first time the showcase has been held physically since 2019. Read the full list of nominations below:
