Gotham Television Awards 2026 winners list Cipriani Wall Street TEGNA Roku Amazon Fire TV Apple TV I Love LA Big Mistakes Beef Pluribus Death by Lightning Alien: Earth DTF St. Louis A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
Cipriani Wall Street sounds fancy.
So wait, this is like the Gotham movie awards but for TV? I Love LA better’ve won something big because that show was everywhere. Also June 1 already passed on my feed, so why am I seeing this now?
“Death by Lightning” sounds like it should’ve won hands down but I don’t even know what category. Half the names in the list look messed up (Big Mis??) so maybe I’m reading it wrong. And streaming on Roku/Fire/Apple is cool but who even watches those award shows live anymore.
Honestly I’m confused by the whole thing—“streaming across 51 U.S. markets” like how does that even work, is it limited by zip code? And TEGNA… isn’t that local news? I feel like it should be on Netflix or something. Also “third annual” but the article says “ceremony is set for Monday June 1, 2026” so was it already held or not? My head hurts.
