FOX’s Empire, conspicuously absent from most major Emmy categories, won Program of the Year at the Television Critics Association (TCA) Awards handed out tonight. Empire beat out higher profile, Emmy-nominated series such as Game of Thrones, Mad Men, and Transparent, which surprisingly went home empty-handed.
