2020 Peabody Awards: The Complete Winners List

The Peabody Awards Board of Jurors has announced the winners for the 2020 Peabody Awards, which honors the most powerful and enlightening stories told across TV, radio, and digital media. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year's ceremony was held virtually with many of the winners sending in videos of their pre-recorded speeches. 

This year's winners include Netflix's sci-fi darling Stranger Things and Ava DuVernay's harrowing limited seriesWhen They See Us, along with HBO breakouts Watchmen and Succession. Amazon's Fleabag, which recently ended after two seasons, and Hulu's Ramy also picked up a win. Meanwhile, Cicely Tyson was honored with the Career Achievement Award, and The Simpsons andFrontline each won an Institutional Peabody Award, which celebrates programs that have demonstrated a significant impact on media and the culture at large.

"This year's winners are a vibrant collective of inspiring, innovative, and powerful stories. True to the spirit and legacy of Peabody, our winners are also distinguished by the presence and resilience of many emerging and diverse voices," Peabody executive director Jeffrey P. Jones said in a statement. "We are especially proud to celebrate Frontline as an unwavering source for truth through quality journalism when both are actively under attack, and The Simpsons one of the most consistently funny and culturally important satirical sitcoms over the last three decades."
