Broadway alum Carrie Coon won the Outstanding Individual Achievement in Drama award at the 2017 Television Critics Association Awards. She made history by winning for two performances: as Nora Durst on HBO's The Leftovers and as Gloria Burgle on FX's Fargo (she recently received an Emmy nomination for the latter).
The August 5 ceremony was hosted by Tony and Emmy winner Kristin Chenoweth.
Coon received a Tony nomination for her performance in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? She is set to return to the New York stage in New York Theatre Workshop's Mary Jane. Performances begin at the Off-Broadway venue September 6.
Additional big winners of the night include Hulu's The Handmaid’s Tale, starring Tony nominee Elisabeth Moss. The Hulu series took home Program of the Year and Outstanding Achievement in Drama. The series earned Moss her eighth Emmy nomination.
Filmed in 2023, the one-night-only event featured Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra McDonald, Peter Friedman, and more from the Ahrens and Flaherty musical's original cast.
