HBO's Watchmen Earns Multiple NAACP Image Awards Nominations

Awards Season is in full swing, which means nominations for various Hollywood events have been pouring in over the last couple of weeks. While it’s mostly a time for films to shine, there are lots of upcoming awards that also honor television programs. One series that’s getting a lot of love this season is HBO’s Watchmen, which aired its season finale (and possible series finale) last month. Earlier this week, it was announced that the show is also nominated for multiple prizes at the NAACP Image Awards. The show is up for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series (Regina King), Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series (Damon Lindelof and Cord Jefferson for “The Extraordinary Being”), and Regina King is also nominated for Entertainer of the Year.

Watchmen’s big competition at the NAACP Image Awards will be Godfather of Harlem, Greenleaf, Queen Sugar, and The Chi. For Entertainer of the Year, the competition is definitely strong with King going up against Angela Basset, Billy Porter, Lizzo, and Tyler Perry.

Watchmen is also nominated for multiple Critics Choice Awards, which is airing tonight. The show is up for Best Drama Series, Best Actress in a Drama Series (Regina King), Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Tim Blake Nelson), and Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Jean Smart). You can find out how to watch the event here.
