The 25th anniversary Television Critics Association Awards, handed out Saturday night, honored “Mad Men” as outstanding drama, “The Big Bang Theory” as outstanding comedy and “Battlestar Galactica” as program of the year. Jim Parsons of “Big Bang” got the award for individual achievement in comedy, with Bryan Cranston of “Breaking Bad” singled out for drama. Other awards: news and information, “The Alzheimer’s Project,” HBO; children’s programming, “Yo Gabba Gabba,” Nickelodeon; movies, miniseries and specials, ‘Grey Gardens,” HBO; heritage award, “ER”; career achievement, Betty White.

Pretty much all the winners were there. I sat behind a whole table of “Mad Men” folks, including Jon Hamm and creator Matthew Weiner. Parsons, Johnny Galecki and creator Chuck Lorre were there for “Big Bang,” which to me was a surprise winner over “30 Rock.” White got standing ovations before and after she talked about her 60 years in television.

Chelsea Handler was guest host, and although she split early, the winners hung out after the longish ceremony to have cocktails and dessert. All in all, a very nice evening, as the TCA Awards always are.
