Kathy Bates took home the win for best actress in a drama series at the 30th annual Critics Choice Awards on Feb. 7. Before taking the stage, Bates was visibly stunned by the recognition and couldn't stop dropping F-bombs on her way up.

Kathy Bates is giving her Critics Choice Award for 'Matlock' to series executive producer Eric Christian Olsen who lost his house in the LA fires.

Network TV dramas remain immensely popular on the small screen into the 2025 TV schedule, but anybody who stays tuned into the awards circuit knows that the big wins usually go to either streaming or premium cable shows that don't produce 20+ episodes in a season.
