2021 Broady Award Nominations (12th Annual)

What are the Broady Awards? 

More than a decade ago when we began The Word we realized that the tide had changed on television, especially when it came to award shows like the Emmys and Golden Globes in which shows on premium networks or cable channels (and in today's case streaming services) were winning almost all of the awards. There are still a lot of quality shows on network TV that we thought deserved some added attention, so we created a TV awards solely for shows on the broadcast networks (those that you could put an old school antenna up and still watch). Twelve years later the Broadys are still going strong...
