OTA DTV Drubbing Continues in SAG Awards


Two weeks ago we reported the dismal showing of over-the-air DTV programming in the Golden Globe Awards – only one award went to OTA DTV and that was to PBS, not a commercial broadcaster. In this week’s Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, at last a commercial network actually won an award! And OTA DTV broadcasters actually won 2 out of 8 award. Clearly a justification for keeping lots of spectrum for TV broadcasting.

Here are the Television winners:

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series
“Downton Abbey” – (PBS)

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series
“Orange is the New Black” – (Netflix)

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series
Kevin Spacey – “House of Cards” – (Netflix)

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series
Viola Davis – “How to Get Away with Murder” – (ABC)

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series
William H. Macy – “Shameless” – (Showtime)

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series
Uzo Aduba – “Orange is the New Black” – (Netflix)

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries

Mark Ruffalo – “The Normal Heart” – (HBO)

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries
Frances McDormand – “Olive Kitteridge” – (HBO)
