In a weekend surprisingly rife with award shows (between this event held in The Beverly Hilton, and The CFDA Awards, poor Julianna Marguilies had a rather busy one), the Critic's Choice TV Awards almost sloped on by without getting noticed. Anything, however, that brings people's attention to the wonder that is Silicon Valley should be lauded from the rooftops. If you've yet to view this year's Best Comedy Series winner, you're in for a treat. Although, be warned, it ruins all other comedy. FOREVER.
Other winners on the night included The Walking Dead, which was heralded The Most Bingeworthy watch; The Daily Show with Jon Stewart was crowned King of the Talk Shows; Better Call Saul landed a few gongs, as did Inside Amy Schumer.
