    LOS ANGELES --

    The three show that topped the Television Critics Association (TCA) Awards’ nominations tally this year had decidedly different results as the organization announced the winners today.

    Heated Rivalry (Crave/HBO Max) scored one win from its five Television Critics Association (TCA) Award nominations–but it turned out to be the marquee Program of the Year honor. Meanwhile Widow’s Bay (Apple TV), which also garnered five nods, wound up winning three times, topping the Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, Outstanding New Program, and Individual Achievement in Comedy categories–the latter honor earned by Kate O’Flynn. The third show with five nominations, The Industry (HBO Max), did not come up a winner.

    Other highlights included two repeat performances. The Pitt (HBO Max) won Outstanding Achievement in Drama for the second straight year. And The Traitors (Peacock) took Outstanding Achievement in Reality for the third consecutive season.

    Death by Lightning (Netflix) topped the Outstanding Achievement in Movies, Miniseries or Specials category. Rhea Seehorn’s breakthrough performance in Pluribus (Apple TV) won for Individual Achievement in Drama.

    Honors for Outstanding Achievement in Animation and Outstanding International Series–two new TCA Award categories–went to Long Story Short (Netflix) and Squid Game (Netflix), respectively.

    Steven Colbert topped one category and received a special honor. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, in its farewell season on CBS, won for Outstanding Achievement in Variety, Talk or Sketch, while Colbert himself earned a special Career Achievement honor from the TCA.

    The year’s other special honor, the Heritage Award, went to In Living Color (Fox).

    Rounding out the category winners were: The American Revolution (PBS) for Outstanding Achievement in News and Information; Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical (Apple TV) for Outstanding Achievement in Children’s Programming; and Percy Jackson and the Olympians (Disney+/Hulu) for Outstanding Achievement in Family Programming.

    Duane “Keffe D” Davis’ Murder Trial Heads To Closing In Tupac Shakur’s 1996 Killing

    Friday, August 28, 2026

    The murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur is headed to closing arguments after the defense rested Thursday following testimony from three former Las Vegas police officers.

    Jurors are scheduled to return Monday for closing arguments before beginning deliberations in the only prosecution brought in the killing of the hip-hop icon. The presentation of evidence ended after nine days of testimony.

    Davis, 63, did not take the stand.

    Shakur was riding in a BMW on Sept. 7, 1996, when a white Cadillac pulled up next to it at a red light near the Las Vegas Strip and gunfire erupted. Shakur was shot multiple times and died six days later. The driver of the BMW, Marion "Suge" Knight, survived.

    Years later, Davis would say he procured the gun and his nephew, who has since died, fired the shots. Prosecutors say Davis orchestrated the killing, and he faces life in prison if convicted of murder with a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang. He has pleaded not guilty.

    Defense attorney Michael Sanft has argued that Davis fabricated or embellished his accounts of the killing for money and notoriety and that investigators failed to independently corroborate his claims.

    Retired Las Vegas homicide detective Dan Long, the defense's final witness, testified that he tried unsuccessfully to verify several details Davis provided during a 2009 police interview.

    Davis told Long that his nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, had gone to a Las Vegas hospital after being beaten by Shakur and others in a casino brawl hours before the rapper was fatally shot. Long said he was unable to find hospital records confirming Anderson was treated there.
