Hollywood Critics Association Announces 2022 Noms For Adult Animation Categories

The HCA Critics have announced their nominees for best adult animation in a couple of categories. One idea which I think is interesting, the nominees are split up by Broadcast/Cable Network versus streamer for half-hour series, but for quarter-hours they’ve opted to keep everything in one category regardless of distributor. Clearly, another award show that continues to see animation as a genre and not as an industry, but at least we have a lot of solid entries.
