If the mission of the Broadcast Television Journalists Association was to quell any potential negative press that may-or-may-not have arisen as a result of the creation of yet another televised award show by announcing a list of incredibly deserving nominees, well… Mission Accomplished! No really. Thanks to some much deserved recognition to the likes of FRINGE’s John Noble and Anna Torv, THE MIDDLE’s Eden Sher and RAISING HOPE’s Martha Plimpton (among others), we’ve already cleared our schedule and bookmarked VH1.com (which will be streaming the show live from Beverly Hills) in anticipation of the June 20th CRITICS’ CHOICE TELEVISION AWARDS.
