Hulu and ABC were among several streaming services and networks nominated for multiple 2024 NAMIC Vision Awards, the diversity organization announced Monday (April 8).
Hulu, led by multiple nominations for its comedy series The Other Black Girl, and ABC, with nods for comedy series Abbott Elementary and drama series Grey’s Anatomy, drew the most nominations for Vision Awards, which honor excellence in diverse programming. Other distributors garnering multiple nominations include ESPN, Disney Plus, Prime Video, Starz, CNN, PBS, Paramount Plus, HGTV, Peacock and OWN.
Along with ABC’s Abbott Elementary and The Wonder Years, shows up for best comedy series include Bob Hearts Abishola on CBS, Prime Video’s Harlem, and Hulu/Onyx Collective’s UnPrisoned. In the best drama series category, Paramount Plus’s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will battle ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy and The Rookie; NBC’s Found; and Apple TV Plus’s Swagger for top honors.
ESPN nearly swept the sports category by securing four of the category's five nominations. Also, Max’s Sesame Street will look to repeat in the children’s programming category.
NAMIC will announce the Vision Awards winners in May.
