It was an action packed first day, with thousands of you voting for your picks from the first three categories of the competition. There was one runaway winner in one of the categories, with a huge 65% of the votes, which was contrasted in the other two polls which saw the results swing backwards and forwards at various points before settling into two close results...
Today sees three more polls, firstly we have the Best Actress in a leading role, where there are six nominees due to the fifth and sixth most nominated characters having identical scores! Secondly we have Best Screenwriting of the year, with five top drawer episodes doing battle for the win. Finally there is your favourite TV Channel of the year, with three mainstream networks challenging two premium channels for the victory...
Remember you can only vote for one nominee per category, and don't forget to let us know who you voted for in the comments below. Each days polls will close after 24 hours, and the winners will be announced next weekend, once all the polls have taken place.
This is it. The final competition of 2011 has begun.
Let the battle commence!

I voted
ReplyDeleteVoted for Jen Morrison (Even though I love SMG. This was a hard choice), Andrew Marlowe (Even though I also love Ben Edlund) and CBS.
ReplyDeleteVote for Stana and Marlowe! The acting on Castle and the writers are amazing :)
ReplyDeleteThey include so many parallels and foreshadowing.
Everything Castle again, but I had a hard time choosing a network.
ReplyDeleteAnna Torv - FringeVince Gilligan - Breaking Bad - Face OffShowtime
ReplyDeleteThey're my votes :)
Best lead Actress: Stana katic (Castle)
ReplyDeleteBest Screenwriting: Andrew W. Marlowe (Castle) for "Rise"
Best TV channel: N/A
I voted for Anna Torv in the Best Actress and for Jeff Pinkner & J. H. Wyman for Best Screenwriting!
ReplyDeleteStana Katic, Andrew Marlow for Castle - "Rise" and HBO! :)
ReplyDelete1) Anna Torv
ReplyDelete2) Vince Gilligan
3) Fox
Stana Katic, Ben Edlund and Fox. Easy decisions for the first two, the third one was purely because I counted up the number of shows I watch on each network and Fox had the most!
ReplyDeleteClaire Danes b/c Homeland is SICK and she is Phenomenal in it!!!
ReplyDeleteJeff Pinkner & J.H.Wyman for Fringe - "The Day We Died"ABC it carries more of my favorite tv shows!
1) Anna Torv.
ReplyDelete2) J.P & JHW
3) Fox
Although I was tempted to give my vote to Claire Danes
I;ve never watched the show, but I love Claire Danes
ReplyDeleteBen Edlund of course.
The CW was not listed which I did not like. I voted CBS because it's the channel I do watch a show on...Hawaii Five O. Everything else is on the CW and TNT
haha I love how NBC wasn't even nominated for "Best TV Channel".. I went with Stana Katic for Best Actress, Ben Edlund for Screenwriting, and passed on TV network for now - it was taking me too long to come to a decision, so I think I'll revisit later.
ReplyDeleteUrgh! This is much harder than yesterday. As far as the Best Actress poll went, I was tempted to vote for Claire Danes on reputation alone, but since I've never seen Homeland I couldn't. Jennifer Morrison was definitely out because Emma Swan is the worst part of Once Upon a Time for me. If it had been Lana Parrilla nominated I wouldn't have this trouble. I find Zooey Deschanel equal parts cute and annoying so she was out too. That left me with a quandary. Anna Torv and Stana Katic have both had episodes where they knocked their performance out of the park, but I watch their respective shows for the other characters and not so much them. Sarah Michelle Gellar is the best thing about Ringer but that's not saying much, and I actually like the show. I ended up voting Anna Torv but I could have easily eeny miney moed the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteIn all honesty, the second poll should have been easy for me. It's Ben Edlund, it's Supernatural, but it's also The Man Who Would Be King. I hated that episode and still rank it as one of the worst in Supernatural history. It was definitely not in the running for me. Also, although I'm going to have to find a nice rock to hide under after this, I'm not that big a fan of Ben Edlund either. For me he has just as many clunkers as he has moments of sheer genius. Since I haven't seen the Breaking Bad or Dr. Who episodes that once again left Castle and Fringe. This time it was easier - The Day We Died was a game changer. Emotional but not overly dramatic, it would have made an awesome series finale if Fringe had not been renewed. Everyone gave their all in it and even if there were things about it I did not like, it was the best of the choices offered here and a fine hour of TV.
The last one was purely mathematical. I watch more shows on Fox than any of the other stations.
I just diagreed on the channel, I voted ABC for the simple reason that it has more shows I watch.
ReplyDeletei voted for Stana Katic (love castle), andrew marlowe, and ABC.
ReplyDeleteOnly one I voted on was the second one...voted for Supernatural. I have to say, though... The Man Who Would Be King? Really? Come on. Out of all the other episodes people could have picked... I am really not a fan of that episode. (FAR too much Castiel, ick.) but I've never watched any of the other shows so. *shrug*
ReplyDeleteClaire Danes - she's had more juicy material to work with than the other actors on this list. And, for a change, there's only one show on the list I don't watch.
ReplyDeleteCrap...I had a brain fart! Wanted to vote for Pinkner and Whyman for Fringe. Instead I clicked on Andrew Marlow for Castle. I don't watch Breaking Bad. And of the others, I really did not like "The Man Who Would be King." So, I won't be too upset with any of the others as nominees.
Picked CBS just going for the numbers in terms of who has the least number of shows I fuss and fume about. Much as I love Homeland and Game of Thrones...HBO and Showtime each only had two shows on my list.
Easy today wow!
ReplyDeleteBest Actress: Anna Torv (FRINGE)
Best Screenwriter: Vince GIlligan (Beaking Bad)
Best Channel: Showtime
I went with Stana Katic for Best Actress
ReplyDeleteand Moffat for Screenwriting.
Claire Danes, Vince Gilligan for Face Off and HBO. The last one, is the first poll without the choice I did in nomination (FX).
ReplyDeleteCastle won over my votes :) and Fox for best channel!
ReplyDeleteStana Katic and Andrew Marlowe for me (Almost went with Vince Gilligan....alllmost). Stana Katic is super-unappreciated for what she does, which is be amazing and excellent all the time.
ReplyDeleteAll Vote Fringe "Related" ^^;!
ReplyDelete&
Best leading role actress = Anna no doubt about that!
♥
I actually loved that episode - there may have been others that were better written, but I loved getting insight into Castiel's character.. and while not everyone likes Cas, he was an important part of the Winchesters' lives, so I thought it was important for everyone to see the reasoning behind his choices, especially seeing how it affected the boys and their changing perception of this person they thought of as a friend - someone who had been through so much with them.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I did my best not to write this with too much bias - I'm a Castiel fan, myself. :)
fox is the best TV channel
ReplyDeleteCastle all the way but in the end I chose CBS because that network still has the best programming overall.
ReplyDeleteYeah I just thought I'd give it to Fox because of Fringe, and its the only show I watch from Fox, Although I'm a big X-Files fan too, And I'm Looking forward to Alcatraz
ReplyDeleteI love Anna and Stana but Claire Danes nukes anyone else with her performance in Homeland, but then she also has mind-blowingly awesome support. Castle for best screenwriting (Fringe as 2nd choice); CBS on numbers for me, not necessarily quality this year.
ReplyDeleteStana.Marlowe.ABC. That is all.
ReplyDeleteStana and Andrew FTW!! :D
ReplyDeleteFor me, Stana Katic, Steven Moffat, and ABC.
ReplyDeleteMy votes are:
ReplyDeleteBest actress: Anna torvBest screenwriting: Vince Gilligan - "Face Off"
Best TV channel: CBS
with no doubts!
If you really love Fringe, I bet you won't vote for FOX. They do not deserve it after the slowing death they did for Fringe.
ReplyDeleteAnna!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs Nina Dobrev is mysteriously absent from the first poll, I had to go with the next actress whom I have watched in one of my favorite shows, aka Jennifer Morrison from Once Upon A Time. But I find Lana Parilla much more appealing as both the Evil Queen and the Mayor.
ReplyDeleteNot much a fan of "The Man Who Would Be King", I had to go with it however as a) it is Supernatural and b) I've never watched any of the other episodes listed or their shows for that matter.
As CW, the network hosting two of my favorite shows (Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries), didn't make the list, I went for the network which I watch a show on, that is, ABC for Once Upon A Time.
That was hard choosing between Claire and Anna but the Torv just wins it for me. Also hard was being screenwriting choose Fringe could have gone with Breaking Bad. Channel was easy, always going to be HBO
ReplyDeleteDidn't vote in Best Actress since I haven't seen any of their works.
ReplyDeleteBest Screenwriting is easy for me, Ben Edlund's The Man Who Would Be King is a masterpiece, and I know there are people who disliked it because it was too much Castiel and not the brothers blah blah blah, but it was the episode that tied up the loose threads that other writers have messed up through an uneven season of re-writes. Edlund had the hardest job in trying to make sense and logic and tie up the mess, and he gave the character of Castiel the rightful and respectful and much much deserved moment to shine. Edlund wrote a beautiful script and Misha gave an amazing performance, combined that together and it's genius, and to this day, it remains my most fave episode of Supernatural easily. Edlund remains my fave writer on the show along with the sadly-departed-from-SPN-writing Jeremy Carver. And I for one am very glad to have his amazing mind on the show who is never afraid to give other characters their chance to take the spotlight and treat their character with respect. Nobody writes Castiel better than Edlund, and nobody gives the character a true important value than Edlund either. He's the only writer I truly trust on this show. So yes, my vote goes to Edlund, no hesitations whatsoever.
Best Channel for me was a tough one between HBO and CBS. I certainly watch more shows on CBS, but ultimately I went with HBO because that network just makes the most awesome shows so consistently and I have loved and watched every HBO drama!
The episode was suppose to be Castiel's episode, so I don't see why you're complaining it was too much Castiel. Just because the show is Sam and Dean all the time doesn't mean other episodes can't have their moment. This was Castiel's episode because it sets up and tells the story of what has been happening all along this season. That was important to the story and it was important to character development. Are you going to complain that Weekend at Bobby's was too much Bobby or Death's Door was too much Bobby? Sometimes other characters need episodes to shine because through their eyes it illuminates Sam and Dean's stories as well. It's an important balance to keep on the show.
ReplyDeleteDanes, Gilligan & HBO
ReplyDeleteExtremely easy choices today...
Stana, Marlowe, and...CBS. I think Stana's done some amazing stuff on Castle and it's nice to see it FINALLY getting noticed. Rise was great, but the writing on Castle has also been underappreciated in general. As for the network.... My two favorite shows are on ABC. However, I did the, "If you were stuck on a desert island and could only get one tv channel..." and, well, CBS had the better over-all programming and the most scripted shows in both number and quality.
ReplyDeleteAnna Torv (Claire Danes has been AMAZING, but I gotta give it to Anna this time. She makes so much to each aspect of all the Olivias!)
ReplyDeleteBen Edlund For Supernatural, only because I have yet to see the Breaking Bad episode. :(
And HBO, obviously.
If you saw Claire Danes on Homeland, I have no doubt that you'd have immediately voted for her. Absolutely incredible as the diligent CIA operative, who's always on edge, foul-mouthed sometimes, has no idea what she really wants, and is secretly fighting a mental disease as well.
ReplyDeletehaha :) I just voted everything castle.. Stana Katic, Andrew Marlowe and ABC
ReplyDeleteBut i don't live in america so im not compleatly sure. But i know that Castle/ Lost / Prison Break went on ABC and thats good enough for me!
Jennifer Morrison - love her as Emma on Once (Anna Torv would be my next choice)
ReplyDeleteJeff Pinkner & J.H.Wyman for Fringe - "The Day We Died"i don`t have a favourite channel, Sorry
I voted:
ReplyDelete1. Anna Torv
2. J.P. and J.H. Wyman - The Day we died
3. Fox
Claire Danes - I can't possibly see any of the other actress's coming near to her performance this season, the only way she can't win this is because people aren't yet watching the show imo.
ReplyDeleteMoffat - thou I think that he wrote stronger scripts than LKH this year he's still one of the best writers of complex storylines.
HBO - Thou is was a close call with SHO, and the BBC is the best channel I know of but isn't in the final.
Best Actress: Stana Katic !!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBest Screenwriting: Jeff Pinkner & J.H. Wyman
Best Channel: ABC
Stana, Marlowe and HBO. Showtime was close.
ReplyDeleteI can only offer an opinion for the second poll and even there I only watch Supernatural.Not that it would make a huge difference..I love Ben Edlund,I loved the episode,it was a very easy choice!
ReplyDeleteAnna Torv
ReplyDeleteJeff Pinkner & J.H.WymanHBO
I put in a vote in each poll, but the vote for Ben Edlund is the only one I care about.
ReplyDeletei voted for the best saah michelle gellar
ReplyDeleteSame here!
ReplyDeleteFox is the worst channel ever! Especially here in Portugal!
ReplyDeleteDanes
ReplyDeleteThe Way We Died
Showtime
I wouldn't have chosen any of those for screenwriting though, especially not lets kill Hitler
Andrew Marlow for Castle - "Rise"
ReplyDeleteStana Katic for Castle
abc best channel
HBO - that was an easy choice. Had a tougher time on the other 2 but went for Anna Torv and The Man Who Would Be King SPN writes as I loved that episode.
ReplyDeleteClaire Danes, Jeff Pinkner & J.H.Wyman, and Showtime for bringing us Homeland
ReplyDeleteOkay this is not good,i just came online and tried to vote for best actress and it said i already voted,but i didn't vote yet.Here comes the email Andy.
ReplyDeleteAnna Torv, The Day we died, CBS(?)
ReplyDeleteCould not vote in favorite network, CW was not listed and I would not pick CBS for dog catcher after they cancelled Moonlight(I know I need to get over it). LOL Of course voting for Ben and the SPN Castiel ep The Man Who Would Be King, one of my top 5 eps. Also Stana in Castle, love they as a couple, much better than Booth & Bones.
ReplyDeleteBest Actress is kind of a weird combination :)
ReplyDeleteDanes, Castle, ABC
Best Lead Actress: Anna Torv as Olivia Dunham and something like 10 other characters
ReplyDeleteBest Screenwriting: Jeff Pinkner &
J.H.Wyman
Best TV Channel: ABC
Stana Katic for Castle! <3
ReplyDelete&
Andrew Marlow for Castle! <3
Best tv show ever?!
CASTLE!
It would have been Claire Danes,but.
ReplyDeleteJeff Pinker and J.H. Wyman Fringe-The Day We Died
CBS
Only voted for Ben Edlund, I would also have voted for the CW because I love voting for the underdogs.
ReplyDeleteThat's fair enough. I know that even if I dislike a character/episode/whatever there will be other people that like it, in the same way that even if I love an episode or something it might have it's haters. Yeah, I didn't like it, but I get that it's important. And that Castiel was an important character whether I like it or not. XD
ReplyDeleteI voted for Anna Torv for actress, Moffat for screenwriting and HBO for channel.
ReplyDeleteI know that the episode was important to the story and everything. I never said it wasn't. I just said that I didn't like it very much. I'm not going to complain about Weekend at Bobby's and Death's Door because I really like Bobby. Not so much with Castiel, but I know other people do, and sometimes the show does have to have eps from other character's POVs. I accept that; doesn't mean I'm not going to state when I don't like it.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Morrison as best actress? This just proves what kind of joke this poll is.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it a joke? All the nominations came from readers of our site.
ReplyDeleteI watch lots and lots of TV, but not some of the shows represented here. I'm sure I would love Claire Danes, but I definitely like the work of Stana Katic this year so I voted for her. Anna Torv does her job well, but I wouldn't put her in "best actress" category. Love SMG and she's also doing a fine job. My vote for best actress goes to Julianna Margulies, but alas she's not up there.
ReplyDeleteHeck of a fine Fringe episode. Pinkner and Wyman get my vote.
I gave a weak vote to Fox. I'm surprised AMC didn't make it.
These were all hard choices, especially the TV Channel category. I watch like two shows per channel, so I don't really have a favorite. My tastes are apparently spread throughout the channels.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Anna Torv in the Best Actress, for Jeff Pinkner & J.H.Wyman for Best Screenwriting,Taken from: SpoilerTV http://www.spoilertv.com/2011/12/stv-best-of-2011-tv-awards-day-two-best.html#ixzz1gQEUo2hC
ReplyDeleteAnna Torv, Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman, and FOX (would've picked AMC if it was on here).
ReplyDeleteJust over half way though the day, and I can say that all three polls have very comfortable leaders at the moment. And some of them are not going the way I expected whatsoever!
ReplyDeleteSo a message to all fans of any of the nominees today, you need to muster some support :P
Easy for me, for once. Claire Danes for Homeland, Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman for Fringe, HBO.
ReplyDeletei cast the same votes.i had doubts about the channel, but apart from AMC, which didn't make it, FOX has the most number of shows that i watch...
ReplyDeleteI voted for Jennifer M because I love OUAT. And I voted for Ben Edlund, although MWWBK is not my favourite ep. He has written better in 2011 IMO. But it is still far better than anything else on the list.
ReplyDeleteStana Katic. That's for sure
ReplyDeleteI would want to vote for best screen writing category, but I can't. ''Rise'' is not the best eppy AM has written IMO, and I don't watch the rest.
About TV channel category, that's even harder, I mean each has phenomenal and horrible shows, so yeah, in a way, they are equal to me. So no vote here either!
Where's the CW or USA?
ReplyDeleteEDLUND'S THE KING!
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to see what you think of Breaking Bad when you do get around to watching it! It seems like a series you would respect if not love....
ReplyDeleteI voted for Stana Katic (love Castle), Andrew Marlowe, and ABC.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Stana Katic and Andrew W Marlowe.
ReplyDeleteClaire Danes
ReplyDeleteVince Gilligan
Showtime
No I disagree Many other Networks would have not even given it a Season 4 and I have faith that it WILL GET A SEASON 5
ReplyDeleteAnna Torv,Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman
ReplyDeletevoted for Castle :D
ReplyDeleteStana and Marlowe and ABC for me :)
ReplyDeleteThey probably were joking then.
ReplyDeleteOk whatever.
ReplyDeleteFringe RULES!!!!
ReplyDeleteI voted for Claire Danes (sorry, Anna Torv), the Breaking Bad screenwriters, and HBO.
ReplyDeleteHa! I just noticed we voted exactly the same. We even both apologized to Torv. That's funny.
ReplyDeleteI voted claire danes best actress, Steven Moffat for best screenwriting and HBO best channel
ReplyDeleteAnna Torv in the Best Actress, for Jeff Pinkner & J.H.Wyman for Best Screenwriting and HBO as best channel.
ReplyDeleteHa! That is funy!
ReplyDeleteIt just goes to show that even though we like series or actress, we can still separate that emotional attachment from a logical decision. XD
Exactly. We can be fans and still be objective.
ReplyDeleteBen Edlund and fox were my two votes.
ReplyDeleteStana Katic is THE BEST, hands down. And Andrew Marlowe is by far the BEST screenwriter out there.
ReplyDeleteBest Actress: Anna TorvBest Screenwriting: Jeff Pinkner & J.H.Wyman for Fringe - "The Day We Died"
ReplyDeleteBest TV Channel: Fox
"something like 10 other characters" LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnna is amazing!
Too Late to vote :( I hate having to work!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this yesterday? What a bummer.
ReplyDeleteWHEN horrible Lisa Edelstein fans STOP insults Jennifer Morrison in all places?
ReplyDeleteYes, she is a lead on a success show, and yes she deserve a nomination as best actress What is your problem? Envy?
Why exactly should that be? Jennifer Morrison deserves to be on that list just like any of the other actresses. Get over it.
ReplyDeleteawwww, missed it as well. Way too much going on ATM!
ReplyDeleteI've missed the Day Two Polls. Who was in the list?
ReplyDelete
