The Television Critics Association honored the top programs and actors of the 2014-2015 television season tonight, at the 31st Annual TCA Awards presentation.

Hosted by James Corden, host of CBS' The Late Late Show, the TCA Awards ceremony was held at the Beverly Hills Hilton hotel. The results were determined from votes cast by the TCA’s membership, comprised of more than 220 professional TV critics and journalists from the United States and Canada. FOX's freshman hit Empire took home the prize for Program of the Year while AMC's Breaking Bad spinoff/prequel Better Call Saul nabbed Outstanding New Program.

Jon Hamm took home the award for Individual Achievement in Drama while Amy Schumer got the Individual Achievement in Comedy honors. Last year, the awards went to Matthew McConaughey and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Schumer's Comedy Central series Inside Amy Schumer also walked away with the Outstanding Achievement in Comedy award while best drama went to FX's The Americans. Plus, Jon Stewart may have hung up his hat this past week, but there was definitely love for Daily Show alum John Oliver as Last Week Tonight took home the prize for Outstanding Achievement in News and Information.

“This was truly a monumental year for television,” said Scott D. Pierce, TCA President and TV critic for The Salt Lake Tribune. “We said goodbye to some old favorites, with the final seasons of Mad Men and Late Show with David Letterman, and we were treated to strong new additions like Fox’s Empire’ and HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. There were a lot of difficult choices to be made, but there’s no doubt that the nominees and winners all deserve their accolades. I’m excited to see what the next year of television has in store.”
