OUTSTANDING ANIMATED PROGRAM

BoJack Horseman ("The Old Sugarman Place")

Rick and Morty ("Pickle Rick")

South Park ("Put It Down")

AND THE WINNER IS:

BOJACK HORSEMAN (“THE OLD SUGARMAN PLACE”)

This is the second consecutive win for BoJack in this category and fourth straight nomination.

BoJack does both comedy and tragedy better than a lot of shows out there can even hope to do. This season’s standout episode is a great example of this as we cut back to a deeply upsetting story of BoJack’s mother’s childhood where we see that the seemingly tortores time she put her son through can come from how horrible a time she had as a child. The episode does contain some humour but it’s mainly upsetting when we revisit the flashbacks because there is nothing there that uplifts us. BoJack is the little show that could and every year we get a season of it I’m happy for it still to air.
