11th Annual Broady Award Nominations

What are the Broady Awards? 
In 2010 The Word created its own special awards for broadcast television shows called the Broadys. You may be asking yourself, “Broadys? What is that?” … Well, the Broadys are yearly awards for broadcast network television series and only broadcast network television series. For years I watched the Emmys and Golden Globes and saw almost exclusively cable or premium cable shows (especially in the drama categories) winning all of the awards. Most years you’ll be lucky to see one drama series from broadcast networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox & CW) nominated for anything. Why? Because there’s this stigma that because cable and premium shows can show things like graphic violence and sex and harsher language that that somehow makes them more “real” and thus “award-worthy.” There’s still so many television viewers who don’t have networks like HBO and Showtime, etc. and thus are not getting to see these shows anyway and want some love for those we do follow. That is why the Broadys exist. 

Broady Winners Will Be Announced on May 24!!
