The Critics’ Choice Television Awards Nominees! Katheryn Winnick Scores A Nomination For Vikings! Hot Damn! And It’s About Time!

The Critics’ Choice Television Awards were just announced and while I agree with a lot of the nominees, all I care about is that Katheryn Winnick was nominated for Vikings. For the past three years, Lagertha has kicked ass! And I’m telling you, the entire series needs more overall love, but at least this is a start!

Vikings is one of my favorite shows of all time (if you hadn’t guessed) but it’s been largely overlooked for awards in the major acting categories. Hopefully, this will change because the performances, writing and direction are some of the best on television.

A big congrats to Katheryn Winnick from the entire MTF Team!
