Handmaid’s TaleThe Television Critics Association (TCA) Awards nominations are the first of the current television season out of the gate, and there are some clear trends. NBC’s freshman hit “This Is Us” scored a number of nods as did Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” and Netflix’s “Stranger Things” and “The Crown.” But it wouldn’t be in awards contest without the participation of Julia Louis Dreyfus, who was nominated again for HBO’s “Veep.”

HBO leads all networks with 12 nominations, with FX at 11, Netflix at 10 and NBC with seven. The TCA Awards use the same eligibility period as the Emmys: shows that aired between June 1, 2016 and May 31, 2017.

Winners will pick up their statuettes on Aug. 5 in a ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel hosted by Tony and Emmy winner Kristen Chenoweth.
