TV critics name 'Handmaid's Tale' program of the year

Beverly Hills, Calif. • For the first time, the Television Critics Association presented its top award to a program on a streaming service — “The Handmaid’s Tale” was named Program of the Year at the 33rd annual TCA Awards.

The TCA Award as the year’s best drama also went to the dystopian tale, based on Margaret Atwood’s novel, of a world in which an authoritarian regime has taken control in America and women are subjugated.

The ceremony Saturday evening was not without a bit of drama. Moss, a Scientologist, was seated just a couple of tables away from Leah Remini — and Moss left the ballroom when Remini accepted the award for outstanding achievement in reality programming for “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.
