The Atlanta TV Awards recently took place, honoring the best in television from the Atlanta area. The event highlighted some standout performances and programs, while also shedding light on those who didn’t quite hit the mark. Let’s take a closer look at the winners and losers from this year’s awards ceremony.
One of the big winners of the night was the hit drama series “Atlanta,” created by and starring Donald Glover. The show took home multiple awards, including Best Drama Series, Best Actor for Glover, and Best Supporting Actress for Zazie Beetz. The series has been a critical and commercial success, and its wins at the Atlanta TV Awards only further solidify its place as one of the best shows on television.
Another standout winner was the comedy series “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” The long-running reality show won Best Reality Series and Best Female Reality Star for NeNe Leakes. The series has been a staple of Atlanta TV for years, and its wins at the awards ceremony show that it continues to resonate with audiences.
On the flip side, there were some notable losers at this year’s Atlanta TV Awards. One surprising upset was in the Best Comedy Series category, where the long-running sitcom “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne” lost to newcomer “Black-ish.” While “Black-ish” is a critically acclaimed show, many expected “House of Payne” to take home the award, given its popularity and longevity.
Another unexpected loss was in the Best Actor in a Comedy Series category, where Anthony Anderson of “Black-ish” beat out reigning champion Tyler Perry of “House of Payne.” Perry has been a dominant force in the Atlanta TV scene for years, so his loss in this category was definitely a surprise to many.
Overall, the Atlanta TV Awards showcased the best and brightest of the television landscape in Atlanta. While there were some clear winners, there were also some upsets and surprises along the way. The event served as a reminder of the incredible talent and diversity of programming that Atlanta has to offer, and we can’t wait to see what next year’s awards have in store.
