TV critics may bitch about reality TV, but they’ve nominated two reality TV shows for awards. The 2003 Television Critics Association Awards nominees include American Idol, which is competing for program of the year against shows such as Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” and HBO’s “The Wire,” and PBS’ Manor House, which is nominated in the outstanding achievement/movies, mini-series and specials category against shows such as HBO’s “Live From Baghdad.”
