White Lotus, Abbott Elementary, Better Call Saul, Barry and This Is Us were among the shows honored by the Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) on Saturday.

The 2022 HCA TV Awards began its two-night event at the Beverly Hilton with a ceremony for the honorees in the Broadcast Network and Cable edition, which was hosted by The Daily Show’s Dulcé Sloan.

HBO’s White Lotus led all shows with five wins including best limited series. Additionally, Mike White prevailed for writing and directing, while the series picked up prizes for Jennifer Coolidge for supporting actress and Murray Bartlett for supporting actor.

ABC’s Abbott Elementary won four trophies, including best broadcast comedy, actress for Quinta Brunson and supporting actress for Janelle James. AMC’s Better Call Saul also won four awards ahead of Monday’s series finale. It prevailed for best cable drama (a tie with HBO’s Succession) and earned wins for Bob Odenkirk for actor, Rhea Seehorn for supporting actress and Giancarlo Esposito for supporting actor.

“Thank you to the Hollywood critics for not putting us in a category with Quinta Brunson,” quipped This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman when accepting the prize for best broadcast drama. He also won for writing for his NBC show’s final season.

HBO’s Barry won three awards, including best comedy actor for Bill Hader and supporting actor for Henry Winkler. Best cable comedy series went to FX’s What We Do in the Shadows.
