South Park nailed them too.

The Television Critics Awards last night apparently had some drama after all. According to a Tweet from Ellen Thompson, the wife of TV Line’s Dave Nemetz, actress Elisabeth Moss– a Scientologist since birth — walked out of the room when Leah Remini won the award for reality TV. Remini’s A&E TV series “Aftermath” tells the story of how brutally Scientology has treated its followers.
Moss has never been a vocal Scientologist, unlike Tom Cruise, John Travolta and a number of other celebrities. She’s kept it mostly to herself. But Remini’s series obviously hit a sore spot for her.
Here are the winners of the TCAs, which don’t really affect anything but they distract us from the chaos in the world:

yawn and double yawn!
She can’t handle the truth.
Loved her in Mad Men. I had no clue she belonged to that creepy cult.
She is great in “Handmaiden’s Tale” too. She has that golden-era Hollywood look to her. A great actress.
I do feel blessed on a Sunday afternoon.
Leah Remini is one of the bravest in Hollyweird. I read her book not long ago about her escape from that gawd-awful CULT and what it has cost her personally and professionally. It was well written and heartfelt. I wish her the best.
Leah’s show was great. I knew Sciencefictionology was strange, but I never realized just how dictatorial they were to insiders and aggressive against outside critics.
Oh crap. I thought it read climatologist. Paging david misbabbage. Paging david miscabbage.
Agreed. However,Kevin James is killing his wife for her.
He fled England for the US because he imagined no taxes.
Yeah I think she doesn’t talk about it much publicly.
WHAT? Do tell!
I do remember that the woman that did Carrie’s nails (who hated her, LOL!) on the show was Doug’s wife in REAL life.
I was once a member. The general public has no idea how creepy it really is.
James’s new show is having his wife die. She’s returning as a police officer that she portrayed last season. My wife and I admire her for her bravery.
Vanessa Cellucci suspects Kevin killed his wife but pretends to like him to get him to confess one day. Kevins buddies suspect he buried his wife in the basement but as long as he buys them drinks and wings at the bar they will keep silent. Kevin meanwhile gets a job as a mall cop to throw off Vanessa....
And Bill Clinton gave them official recognition
Is this gonna belong :)
