spy

The Big Short, though debatable as to whether it’s a comedy, is getting plenty of love this awards season as a comedy. That being said, Paul Feig’s Spy, Stephen Falk’s You’re The Worst, Trainwreck with Amy Schumer, Aziz Ansari’s Master of None, Raphael Bob-Waksberg’s BoJack Horseman, and Will Forte’s Last Man on Earth, getting nods from The Critics Choice are much appreciated. 

As you’d expect, Transparent from Jill Soloway continues to be an awards nominations powerhouse, but it’s also a pleasant surprise to see Rachel Bloom for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan’s Catastrophe, the movie Dope, and The Late Late Show with James Corden.
