The HCA TV Awards also became the first television awards organization to separate streaming programs from broadcast/cable shows, electing to give the streaming platforms their own separate category in drama and comedy, with the exception of the limited series/TV movie field, which isn't divided by platform.[6]
Ted Lasso won the most awards of the night with four total, followed by The Crown with three.[7]
