The Walking Dead's Jeffrey Dean Morgan Wins Critics' Choice Award

This evening, Jeffrey Dean Morgan won a Critics' Choice Award For Best Guest Perfomance In A Drama Series as Negan in The Walking Dead!

Jeffrey Dean Morgan joined the already phenomenal cast of The Walking Dead in Season 6 in the role of Negan and introduced his bat Lucille to the world.

Having Negan on The Walking Dead has certainly done a lot for the show. His energy has boosted the other characters on screen, his storyline is a hit with comic fans, and his one-of-a-kind villainy has rocked the entire Walking Dead community.

While a lot of credit can be given to the character, none of this would have been possible without the talents of Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

It looks like the TV critics have also seen how much JDM brings to the table!

As you probably recall, Negan appeared in the last ten minutes of season six, and the show ended with an enormous cliffhanger. Since he was only featured in a few minutes out of the whole season, it was considered a guest appearance.

Now that Morgan is a series regular, he'll hopefully get nominated for a bigger award in the future.
