The best of the best on television were honored last Sunday evening at the annual Critics' Choice Awards. The night was full of surprise winners, some suspected snubs, and some stars who maintained their spotlight amongst other equally deserving nominees.

Even Silicon Valley best supporting actor recipient, T.J. Miller could not hide his surprise when he accepted his award for his work on the comedy series.

"I thought I was going to lose, so I ate a lot," Miller said as he accepted his trophy with a mouthful of macaroons on the stage at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
