The first annual Awards Circuit Commmunity Awards (ACCA) for Television was announced last week. ABC’s “Modern Family” led with eight nominations including Best Comedy Series. Nearly all of the show’s performers were nominated as well leaving off Jesse Tyler Ferguson.  “Mad Men” scored seven nominations including Lead Actor for Jon Hamm and Lead Actress for Elizabeth Moss, the second most nominated show of the awards.

HBO had a great showing with the community. “Game of Thrones” landed six nominations including Best Drama. Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, and Lena Headey all scored nominations for their roles respectively. “Boardwalk Empire” also landed six nods including Supporting Actor for departing cast member Michael Pitt.

Surprising, HBO’s hit TV film “Game Change” scored nominations in all four acting categories but missing out on Best TV Movie or Mini-Series.

Great inclusions that usually miss out on awards attention include 2 nominations for Charlie Day and Kaitlin Olsen for “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” Alexander Skarsgaard is enjoying his first mention as “Eric” on “True Blood.” AMC’s “The Walking Dead” managed to score 3 mentions including Best Drama Series over heavy favorites “Homeland” and “Downton Abbey.”

Voting is open now and will remain open until Friday! Winners will be announced on next Sunday’s podcast. Click here or click on the ACCA TV Button on the sidebar.
