Viola Davis Nominated for a Critics' Choice Television Award

Like last year, Viola Davis has just been nominated for a Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series. She lost the trophy to her colleague and friend Taraji P. Henson, who was nominated and won for her performance in FOX' Empire. Nevertheless, our leading lady has been considered again.

She competes against Taraji P. Henson (Empire), Carrie Coon (The Leftovers), Shiri Appleby (UnREAL), Eva Green (Penny Dreadful), and Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones).

Congratulations! If Viola Davis takes the trophy home, will remain a mystery until next year.

Mid-Season 2 Premiere and Season 2 Finale Dates Announced

How to Get Away With Murder wrapped the first nine-episode run of its sophomore season about two weeks ago. The question is when the show will return to our screens.

The show returns - alongside the rest of the #TGIT lineup - on Thursday, February 11, 2016, @ 10/9c on ABC. It's going to have an uninterrupted six-episode run, concluding its second season on March 17, 2016 with a one-hour season finale (last year, the show concluded its rookie season with a two-hour season finale). The Catch will then take over its timeslot. At this time, there's no news on a third season.
