The third annual Critics' Choice Television Awards features what is becoming the awards' signature mix of no-brainer and under-the-radar nominees.
So while "Breaking Bad" and "Homeland" are nominated for best drama series, so is "The Americans." The best comedy nominees include "The Big Bang Theory" and "Louie," but also "The Middle."
"Big Bang" and "American Horror Story: Asylum" lead the nominees with six apiece. "Parks and Recreation" and Sundance's miniseries "Top of the Lake" have five each. There were a couple of surprise omissions too: "Mad Men" was shut out of the best drama nominees, and of the cast only Elisabeth Moss scored an acting nomination. Ditto for "Modern Family" on the comedy side; Sarah Hyland was the only cast member nominated.
The Critics' Choice Television Awards are set for June 10. "Parks and Rec's" Retta will serve as host.
Here's the full list of nominees:

When Season 5 of "RuPaul's Drag Race" came to its end on Monday night (May 6), fans saw campy Seattle queen Jinkx Monsoon take the crown. Zap2It caught up with Jinkx on Tuesday to see how America's Next Drag Superstar was handling her win, something she's still struggling to comprehend, she reveals.
"I have told everyone: Ask me tomorrow how I feel about winning because I'm still processing," Jinkx says. "It's gonna take a little bit for me to soak it all up and really understand what just happened. I have to say, I'm ecstatic, but I'm eating pad thai with [fellow Season 5 contestant] Ivy Winters right now and I just started crying out of nowhere. That's the kind of day it's been. We're eating lunch, drinking a coca-cola, and I just burst into tears for no reason."
While Jinkx may still have been in a state of shock, she was able to tell »

Last night I was watching the season finale of "RuPaul's Drag Race" and marveling at how much better at being Tyra Banks RuPaul is than, well, Tyra Banks. Over the years, "America's Next Top Model" has become a campy parody of itself, which isn't such a bad thing. Banks clearly understands where fashion and performance intersect, and she's not above some knowing self-parody. But the true camp master diva has to be RuPaul. Whenever I've seen RuPaul Andre Charles in menswear, it's never felt quite right. He (in this case, I'll use he) is somehow like a newly shorn sheep, wobbly »

After a season filled with drama, fighting and so much shade, RuPaul's Drag Race crowned a winner Monday night in New York City. Well-heeled contestants (seriously, these heels were amazing) stepped out to toast the three finalists - hilarious Alaska, glamorous Roxxxy Andrews and quirky Jinkx Monsoon - at the bash, which featured a live performance by season 4 winner Sharon Needles and N.Y.C. nightlife icon Amanda Lepore. But the big moment of the night came when RuPaul announced that crowd favorite Jinkx Monsoon (in her "Glinda the Good Witch" ensemble) was the winner. "It's Monsoon season!" she told the crowd after getting crowned. »

"RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 5 came to a close on Monday (May 6), with RuPaul crowning America's Next Drag Superstar from the final three made up of Jinkx Monsoon, Alaska and Roxxxy Andrews. So, who did Ru crown and award the $100,000?
After the hour-and-a-half reunion that saw each queen from the season take her place in the hot seat opposite Ru (more on that below), the crown was placed firmly on the head of Jinkx Monsoon, the campy, narcoleptic fan favorite from Seattle.
Jinkx entered the competition with a strong comedic ability and, though she occasionally struggled with her fashion and endured some nasty criticism from the season's pageant queens, she endeared herself to fans and Ru herself with her hilarious, campy presence.
Before learning she'd won, Ru asked Jinkx how she felt since taping concluded. The champ replied, "I think I've entered Jinkx 2.0: The butterfly phase." And how right she was. »

As the world awaits the reveal of the winning queen on Logo's "RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 5, the final three (Alaska, Jinkx Monsoon and Roxxxy Andrews) are waiting as well. Though the Season 5 finale (airing Monday, May 6) has already filmed, the announcement of the victor is taped to include every possible outcome. As Alaska tells Zap2It, "We're going to find out with the rest of the world."
Alaska's road to "Drag Race," famously, was a long one and bumpy one, that included auditioning every season. "It's been really crazy because, yeah, I have auditioned every season and it eventually just became a horrible vendetta to get on the show," she jokes. "I also don't know what to do with myself, either. I'm usually making an audition tape this time of year, so, I'm like, 'What do I do?' Maybe I'll just make one."
Not only did Alaska audition for each and every season, »

Everyone knows that drag queens are wizards when it comes to makeup, but Detox (Matthew Sanderson) just took it to another level.The monochromatic makeup she sported at the finale of "RuPaul's Drag Race" was amazing ... or in drag lingo .. sickening!That's right...the photo you see above is color, but Detox arrived in just black and white -- from her eyes to her fingernails.Detox wasn't the only one who stunned. Raja (Sutan Amrull) dressed as the Hindu God Shiva (reminiscent of Heidi Klum's Halloween costume) while Manila Luzon (Karl Westerberg) was inspired by gay icon Spongebob Squarepants. Meanwhile, Sharon Needles (Aaron Coady) channeled PeeWee Herman and Alyssa Edwards (Justin Johnson) looked like a bloody Teresa Giudice.There were also some non-drag attendees, including a somewhat draggish Aubrey O'Day and Chaz Bono.Click on the "Launch Gallery" above to see all the fierce photos and tune into "RuPaul's Drag Race »

The world's most famous drag queen brought a few friends along and "RuPaul's Drag Race" fans are in for a treat.
Watch Alaska, Jinkx Monsoon and Roxxxy Andrews plead the fifth and werk their way out of trouble, all while looking sickening!
Unfortunately, we'll have to hold tight and wait until Monday to see who will be crowned the world's next drag superstar, but at least we've got "The Beginning" video to tide us over until then.

Who would have thought that Nicki Minaj watches "RuPaul's Drag Race"? The rapper, singer and "American Idol" judge took to Twitter yesterday and sounded off on her "Drag Race" favorites.

You might remember "RuPaul's Drag Race" favorite Willam Belli coining the term "rupologize" in the reality competition's season four finale, but did you ever think it'd be the basis for a madcap roller rink video?
Well, you should have because the next best thing to being crowned the next drag superstar is bestowing a new catch phrase upon us lowly mortals.
And not only does it star Willam, who's responsible for other hilarious -- and insanely catchy -- spoofs like "Chow Down (at Chick-fil-a)," but check out the very special guest star impersonating RuPaul.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaady! (And we love it!)

Aisha Tyler brings the faboo when she hosts the NewNowNext Awards.
News
TV Guide talks with Spartacus creator Steven DeKnight, who reveals that the meeting between Crassus and Spartacus was originally written to be used to audition potential Spartacus actors but was eventually worked into the series. DeKnight also goes into detail about why various characters got the ending they did, including the rationale behind Nagron's end.
I'm way behind on The Following but Vulture's list of all the mistakes law enforcement has made so far sure make it sound like a show that relies on an idiot plot.
If you weren't aware of at least five of Buzzfeed's forgotten sketch comedy shows, I'm shaking my head at you.
At the very least, we know there's going to be a mention of Kord Industries coming up on Arrow but will there be more, like an appearance by Ted Kord and »

The NewNowNext Awards were held over the weekend.The awards, presented by Logo, celebrate both Lgbt-centered and general pop culture achievements. The red carpet is definitely more raucous and risque than other events.Pop princess Selena Gomez showed off an edgy new look with straight tresses, green eyeshadow, peplum top and leather leggings. On the flip side, Ke$ha cleaned up her look, wearing a seafoam green baby doll dress. The pop punk's dress was shockingly conservative.Meanwhile, a pregnant Fergie hid her baby bump with a simple black dress with train.There were many wilder looks, courtesy of the drag queens of "RuPaul's Drag Race," and Tamar Braxton (who looked like she could be a contestant on the show). And wait til you see what Perez Hilton was wearing, or in this case, wasn't wearing.Click on the "Launch Gallery" above to see all the photo and catch the broadcast on Monday night! »

With 21 years in the entertainment business, Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato are heading into their third decade of fabulousness with a new coffee table book, "The World According to Wonder." With well-regarded docs ("The Eyes of Tammy Faye"), popular reality TV ("RuPaul's Drag Race") and fiction films ("Party Monster") under their belts, the duo are still thought of as those boys who made "Party Monster." "People love to hear our pitches," Bailey told Indiewire, "but they think it's just great entertainment in a room, rather than something that will deliver in the real world. People think we're downtown. People still call us boys, and we're in our 50's. We're younger than Madonna, but..." Looking back on their work, from 1991 to 2012, Barbato said that he's been glad to have a "front row seat to the development of reality television." He continued, "As individuals, we're interested in the low as much as the high. »

Shante, you slay.
We're nearing the end of RuPaul's Drag Race's fifth season, and that means it's time to make an important list: the 10 funniest queens in the show's history. In an age when people like Vivienne Pinay and Ivy Winters insist that fishiness is more important than comic chops, we need to fight back. I watch this show for unbridled sauciness, wit, and unapologetic humor, and these ten queens all boasted fine gut-busting instincts.
10. Detox
I have to be honest: I nearly gave this spot to Tatianna, whose performance as Britney Spears remains Snatch Game's most hilarious triumph, but Detox is truly the funnier performer. Her wise-ass commentaries, chicken fierceness, amazing side-eye, jaw-wagging lip-sync skills, and general weariness of everything are total treats. She'd probably laugh more at herself if her facial muscles were capable of abject glee. I'm always waiting to hear her next confessional, particularly after »
