"Angels in America," with a cast that included Emma Thompson, was named program of the year by the TV Critics Association.


LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Emmy favorite "Angels in America" and acclaimed comedy "Arrested Development" were the critical darlings at the 20th annual Television Critics Assn. Awards on Saturday.

The 200-plus members of the TV scribes organization named "Angels," HBO's epic miniseries about the AIDS crisis, program of the year as well as best movie or miniseries during a ceremony held in conjunction with the summer press tour that has unfolded in the past two weeks at the Century Plaza Hotel in Century City.

"Angels" director Mike Nichols gave credit to the miniseries' A-list cast, which included Al Pacino, Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson, for bringing "Angels" to life on the small screen.

"They dug deep. They flew high," Nichols said of the actors' performances.

The adaptation of Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize-winning play led the Emmy pack Thursday with 21 nominations, including bids for Nichols, Pacino (in his first Emmy nomination), Streep, Thompson, Mary-Louise Parker, Justin Kirk, Ben Shenkman, Patrick Wilson and Jeffrey Wright...

WOO HOOOO!
