Hit TV dramas Game Of Thrones, Homeland and Treme have been named among the best in U.S. broadcasting after landing honours for the upcoming Peabody Awards.
Comedy series Parks and Recreation, starring Amy Poehler and Aziz Ansari, and Fred Armisen's offbeat Portlandia have also been selected to receive recognition at the annual prizegiving, as has funnyman Stephen Colbert, the host of satirical political talk show The Colbert Report.
The winners of the Peabody Awards were announced on Wednesday (04Apr12), but a formal presentation of the accolades will take place in New York on 21 May (12). Star Trek icon Patrick Stewart will host the event.
