Last night, the Television Critics Association handed out their awards for 2013. I must say, they nailed it.

In today's edition of Doux News, Josie discusses some unsettling sexism during ComicCon. It can also rear its head at awards ceremonies.

Louis C.K., one hopes, was trying to be witty during his acceptance speech. I would say he missed the mark: "Boy this is awfully nice…it is,” he said. “No, it’s beautiful. It’s literally a plastic piece of shit. I don’t blame that bitch [absent best actress winner Tatiana Maslany] for not coming. I really am grateful – see, sometimes comedy undercuts feelings. It’s a problem I deal with all the time.”
