Apple TV+ scores first award nomination with 'The Morning Show'

The Morning Show's Billy Crudup with Jennifer Aniston

In less than two months since its launch, Apple TV+ gets its first award nomination. The Critics' Choice Association nominated The Morning Show's Billy Crudup for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. He goes up against Game of Thrones' Peter Dinklage and This Is Us's Asante Blackk. It took Netflix years to get its foot in the door of big award nominations, so we can't entirely discount this nod.

But Apple is still far off from what Netflix has done since. The rival streaming service dominated The Critics’ Choice with 61 nominations for its movies and TV shows. Fourteen of these awards go to The Irishman—the Martin Scorsese film is up for top awards like Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. As for the other streaming services, Amazon Prime Video got 14, Hulu got seven, and CBS All got four.
