The first few seasons of “Silicon Valley” earned a total of 23 Emmy nominations for HBO including three consecutive bids for Best Comedy Series, losing to “Modern Family” in 2014 and “Veep” in both 2015 and 2016. It has only won a pair of Emmy Awards so far: Best Production Design (2015) and Best Picture Editing (2015). However, the Critics’ Choice Awards are a different story altogether. “Silicon Valley” is the reigning back-to-back champ for Best Comedy Series with the critics, prevailing in both 2015 and 2016.
