Though the Peabody Awards aren't holding an in-person ceremony this year — yet another live event canceled due to coronavirus concerns — the statues are still being awarded to the compelling and empowering stories of 2019.
The Peabody Awards Board of Jurors announced this year's list of nominees on Wednesday, May 6. Nominees include crowd pleasers like Stranger Things and critical darlings like Watchmen, Fleabag, Unbelievable, and Ramy.
The Peabody Awards Board said in a statement that this year's nominees shone a light on the criminal justice system, repercussions of the #MeToo movement, and immigrant rights. "Peabody is proud to champion this year's nominees who inspire our connection, provoke our thinking and delight our senses," said
