The Favorite Character of 2011 as voted by you the fans was.. Dean Winchester "Supernatural" (played by Jensen Ackles).
 
The final award of the year makes Mr. Ackles a 3 award winner, and 5 total awards in 2 years winner. With best actor & favorite character awards last year under his belt going into 2011s voting, it wasnt a big shock he would win something again. Winning 3 awards however.. that shows a dominance. With the Best Sci-Fi Acot award & Sexiest Actor Award already wrapped up Jensen snagged 1 final honour by way of his on screen persona, the smart ass, world saving hunter Dean Winchester.
 
Deans win came at the cost of a character we no longer will see in this form. Runner up "Smallville" disguised super-hero Clark Kent makes it 2 years in a row a Smallville character was runner up. 3rd went to "Lost Girl" Dr. Lauren Lewis. Its 4th place for Deans brother Sam Winchester..same place he finished in 2010.  5th place for "Supernatural" angel turned god turned nothing Castiel, he finished 3rd last year. "Sanctuary" lead Dr. Helen Magnus is 6th, the character responsible for the Best drama actor win for Nathan Fillion is 7th "Castle" lead Richard Castle, 8th is "Fringe" phenomenon fighting FBI agent Olivia Dunham, 9th is the Best Drama actress Stana Katic inspired "Castle" detective Kate Beckett. Falling 3 spots from 7th to 10th this year is insanely genius "Fringe" doctor/scientist Walter Bishop, Another Dr. drops 3 spots from 8th to 11th this year, as "The Big Bang Theory" resident know it all Sheldon Cooper takes 11th. 12th is "Lost Girl" lead character Bo. 13th is last years 9th place finalist "How I Met Your Mother" character responsible for Neil Patrick Harris winning Best comedy Actor this year, Barney Stinson. Last years 10th place finalist is this year 14th, the quirky theif from "Leverage" Parker. 15th is "Fringe" mystery man Peter Bishop. 16th is the soon to retire/or be fired "House" doctor, Gregory House. 17th is the TV/movie obsessed obvserational "Community" character Abed Nadir. 18th is the new sheriff in town on "Once Upon A Time" Emma Swan. 19th is last years runner up, and the character that helped Erica Durance win this years Best Sci-fi actress award, "Smallville" Lois Lane. 20th is the 3rd "Lost Girl" character to make it Kenzi. 21st is last years 13th place "Burn Notice" burn out Sam Axe. 22nd was 15th last year "The Big Bang Theory" quirky brilliant other hald of the couple known as Shamy Amy Farrah Fowler.  23rd is "The Big Bang Theory" resident hottie Penny. 24th is last years 14th place finisher, super spy "Burn Notice" Michael Westen. Rounding out the finalists is "The Secret Circle" witch Charles Meade.

Despite 8 different leaders thru the voting period, there was only 21 lead changes total. The top 3 all lead at 1 point, as did Castiel, Helen Magnus, Abed, Penny & even Charles Meade early on before his fans opted to boycott these polls. This award makes a total of 7 awards in total for "Supernatural" (8 if sexiest actor is included), by far the most of the awards.

The Sexiest Actor of 2011 as voted by you the fans was.. Jensen Ackles.
 
This comes as no shock to someone who reports on Supernatural a lot. I have learned over the past couple years theres 2 things that are evident about SPN fans. 1- their online devotion to the show, and 2- their overwhelming support of Jensen as their favorite cast member. While his castmates also have quite a lot of rabid fans as well, there is a sizable difference in the attention I get for a blog post of just Jared or Misha, as opposed to a post including Jensen. His win as sexiest actor was not too shocking to me. From the get go, I expected him to at worst, be in the top 3.
 
Jensen had a couple of times where a challengers made a run at him & even dipped into 2nd a couple times, but he eventually pulled ahead & the pulled away from runner up Tom Welling. The Supernatural dominance  grabbed Jared Padalecki 3rd & Misha Collins 4th. Early on leader Johnny Depp finished 5th, Fringe stud Joshua Jackson nabbed 6th, apparent "sexiest man alive" Ryan Reynolds did not win such honours here getting 7th, neither did another alleged "sexiest man alive" Ryan Gosling who was 8th. 9th was Lost Girl star Kris Holden-Ried, 10th was The Secret Circle star Gale Harold, who despite a boycott by some of his fans to my site still managed to make it to the finals, 11th was Chris Evans, and Smallville co-star Justin Hartley rounded out the finalists.

This was the poll with the most lead changes. 29 lead changes, 16 on day 1, 6 on day 2, from 5 different challengers. Jensen, Tom, Johnny, Joshua & Kris all held leads, although only Tom or Jensen held the lead at any time past day 4.

The Sexiest Actor of 2011 as voted by you the fans was.. Erica Durance.
 
Commom theme in this years awards. If you won the sci-fi acting award for your gender, you apparently are also the sexiest. The Smallville hottie Erica Durance matched her male award winning counterpart in the sci-fi category Jensen Ackles, by also taking home the sexiest category. Having had the honour of meeting Ms. Durance severla times, I can say I understand the voters decision. She really is as stunning in person as the tv screens & magazines make her appear.
 
Erica won this category with a bit of a lead over eventual runner up "Lost Girl" star Zoie Palmer. Mila Kunis, who lead for several days, eventually would fade back & finish 3rd. "Fringe" cutie Anna Torv was continually in the race, but would eventually finish 4th. "House" hottie Olivia Wilde was 5th, my personal pick finished 6th, "The Client List" star Jennifer Love Hewitt. Another "Lost Girl" on the list in 7th Anna Silk, 8th is "Once Upon A Time" sherriff Jennifer Morrison, 9th is "Community" cutie Alison Brie, and rounding out the finalists is "The Secret Circle" hottie Britt Robertson. 


Like the mens category, there was 5 different leaders over the course of the polls, but only 21 lead changes. Erica, Zoie, Mila, & the 2 Jennifers all had leads, but it was Mila & Zoie that really only had the leads after about day 5 until Erica took over in the final 3-4 days of voting. Interesting observation I made with this result. Erica won sci-fi actress, and sexiest actress.. yet her character Lois Lane finished nowhere close to the top in the favorite character category.

Erica Durance 909
Zoie Palmer 733
Mila Kunis 637
Anna Torv 599
Olivia Wilde 497

The Best Sci-Fi Program of 2011 as voted by you the fans was.. Supernatural.
 
Back to back wins for Best Sci-fi show go to the world saving brothers from "Supernatural". Last year the Winchester brothers win in this category might have seemed a small surprise, but after 2 People's Choice Awards this past year, winning here seemed a give in. No doubt a lot of you that voted on these awards already come here for various SPN news/candid photos so, the win is sort of a "home field advantage" type of win for them, as a large chunk of the viewers on this site come for my occasional info on the show & its cast. Unlike the PCA's I dont allow shows or actors to compete in multiple categories, thus why SPN is up for the sci-fi award, and not the drama award, like it was in the PCA's, where it won both.
 
"Supernatural" won fairly easily in the end with a 200+ vote lead over runner up "Smallville" (for the 2nd year in a tow). 3rd place came out of nowhere this year to make noise at these awards "Lost Girl" edged out last years 3rd place show "Fringe" who fell to 4th this year. "Sanctuary" picked up 5th place, beating out the final finalist 6th place "The Walking Dead", the 2010 Best New Show winner.
 
All of the shows, but The Walking Dead were at 1 point leaders, although Fringe & Sanctuary never had the lead for long & only led in the early days of voting. Smallville & Supernatural eventually distanced themselves from Lost Girl down the stretch & battled down to the wire. SPN eventually was able to widen the small gap they had on Smallville in the final day or so of voting.
 
With 1410 votes "Supernatural" also lays claim to the finalist with the most votes in its category
 
Final vote results
Supernatural 1410
Smallville 1183
Lost Girl 920
Fringe 772
Sanctuary 640
The Walking Dead 447
 
 
The Best Actor in a Sci-fi of 2011 as voted by you the fans was.. Jensen Ackles - Supernatural.
 
The winner of last seasons Best Actor award here won this years award for Best Sci-fi Actor. Jensen Ackles, the guy who brings Supernatural hunter Dean Winchester to life clinched another award this year. The smart alec, emotionally damaged demon hunting bad boy spent this past year doing what him & his brother on the show do best, annoying monsters & saving the world. Maybe this year, mnore than any in the past few has tested the acting skills of the shows stars as thee shows secondary castmates have been killed off, leaving Ackles & his co-star Jared Padalecki to pick up the slack, and they have, by all accounts (this poll suggesting such) have done so quite well.
 
Ackles dominated voting most of the time, but did slip shortly into 2nd behind eventual distant runner up "Smallville" star Tom Welling for a bit down the stretch before finally pushing thru & running away in the end. 3rd place "Supernatural" co-star Jared Padalecki was quite a bit behind the top 2, but he can lay claim to beating out his "Supernatural" cast co-star Misha Collins who finished 4th. A 5th place finish for Ryan Robbins from "Sanctuary" ahead of the "Fringe" stars John Noble in 6th & Joshua Jackson in 7th. "Sanctuary" star Robin Dunne was 8th, "The Vampire Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder finished a shockingly low 9th, only ahead of the guy who rounded out the finalists Gale Harold of "The Secret Circle".
 
In the early days of this voting, it appears Ryan Robbins might make a legitimate claim for the title, as he lead after day 1 thanks to his twitter account retweeting the info & asking if there was a prize for winning, he was still in the top 3 until the last 3 or 4 days.. As voting went on though, the short burst of early support of Robbins & Gale Harold, who was at 1 point 3rd early on, wore out & the long continual voting of more notable shows took over. Besides Robbins, 2 others held leads in these polls. Tom & Jensen. The results for the Fringe duo seems a little more impressive when you take into account after day 2 they were last & 2nd to last with 8th having about double their vote total. Ackles had 6 different days where he had 100+ votes in a day, The most of any challenger this year... each of those days landed on days the poll was promoted on our twitter, or was posted on a large SPN fansite. He was also the person with the most referrals to the site thru google during the poll running, as terms "Jensen Ackles vote", "Jensen Ackles best of tv", "Jensen Ackles polls" & other variations combined for 148 new unique viewers to the site.

The Best Actress in a Sci-fi of 2011 as voted by you the fans was.. Erica Durance - Smallville.
 
The final season of the long lasting CW hit Smallville saw its leading lady Erica Durance's character Lois Lane figure out the identity of Clark Kent, head to Egypt, become a superhero herself & have a wedding with the man of steel. The popularity of the Smallville cast in our awards over the last 2 years has always been considerable, in fact, if it were not for many Smallville challengers last year being removed from voting because of bot cheating that tainted no less than 3 different shows results, she could have possibly won Best Actress last year. With no such scandals this year (thanks to some wonderful knowledge from a friend on how to minimize such things), Erica Durance was able to compete in the finals & went on to win.
 
Ms Durance won this award handily, as last years Best Actress winner Anna Torv from "Fringe" finished a distant 2nd. A strong showing by Sanctuary fans pushed their leading lady Amanda Tapping up to 3rd. Close behind her was 4th place "Lost Girl" actress Anna Silk. There was a  considerable gap to 5th place "Lost Girl" Ksenia Solo, 6th place Jasika Nicole "Fringe was next, ahead of 7th & 8th "The Secret Circle" ladies Britt Robertson & Natasha Henstridge
 
Early on  Amanda Tapping & Anna Silk looked poised to fight it out for 1st. But around 1/2 way thru, the Smallville fans finally took notice & started to rally their challengers. Erica recorded 350+ votes in 72 hrs at 1 point, 1 of (if not THE) the largest vote pushes of the entire awards. The nominations process for these awards were early on in the contest, and this might explain the interesting void of a notable challenger in many of this years categories, "Lost Girl" star Zoie Palmer was not even nominated. Oversight on whoever originally nominated her castmates?? Side note, the gap of 442 votes between 4th & 5th was the largest single gap in votes in the whole awards.

Erica Durance "Smallville" 1213
Anna Torv "Fringe" 918
Amanda Tapping "Sanctuary" 858
Anna Silk "Lost Girl" 839

The Best Action/Drama Program of 2011 as voted by you the fans was.. Castle.
 
This year, the ABC show Castle did something that no other show did. It won every category in its genre. While other shows dominated their genres as well, only Castle can lay claim to winning best show, best actor & best actress honours in its said genre. The crime drama about a murder mystery writer & his character inspiration for his new series of books, a homicide detective in New York City has been on the air for 4 years now & seems to only be getting stronger. The cocky, smart & smug writer, Richard Castle has faced lots of battles in his 4 yrs of unofficially fighting crimes, none more prominent however than the battle of winning over his partner, the sometimes sharp tongue & sharper witted Det. Kate Beckett. They have been shot at multiple times, pushed, punched, nearly frozen to death & even almost fed to a tiger. Yet the unlikely crime fighting duo manage to keep going. The secondary characters on the show have become stronger as well, Castles mother Martha & daughter Alexis are brilliant, bringing a level of zany & wisdom that makes Castle who he is. The other detectives in the 12th Precinct Esposito & Ryan have themselves added texture to the show. Its appeal is understandable, and it is no shock to me it won. 
 
"Castle" dominated voting in this category. Its closest competitor "Criminal Minds" was well back, nearly 300 votes back. 3rd place "House" was in 2nd for much of the voting, but slipped to 3rd on the final day. 4th place was last years Best Drama winner "Dexter". 5th was "Grey's Anatomy" who started strong, but faded 1/2 way thru voting. 6th was "Leverage" just slightly ahead of 7th place "The Mentalist". In 8th "Hawaii Five-O" beat out 9th place "CSI" by 1 vote, and rounding out the finalists was "Burn Notice"

The Best Actor in an Action/Drama of 2011 as voted by you the fans was.. Nathan Fillion - Castle.
 
Like his co-star in the actress category, Nathan Fillion won over the fans this year as the smooth talking, smart ass, rich murder mystery drama writer who is shadowing a homicide detective for inspiration for his next series of novels. Like with many characters, it is hard to imagine anyone else now playing the part of Richard Castle. Nathan has made that character come to life for some many the way his fictional characters fictional characters seem to come to life to his fans on the show thru his fictional characters writing.
 
Nathan won fairly handily. His runner up "House" star Hugh Laurie did close the gap in the final days, but still came up well short. Further back in 3rd was "Game Of Thrones" star Sean Bean, narrowly beating 4th place "Once Upon A Time" star Robert Carlyle. 5th place for "Criminal Minds" Matthew Gray Gubler, 6th was "Game Of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage, 7th went to another "Criminal Minds" star Shemar Moore, beating out the 3rd "Criminal Minds" star Thomas Gibson. 9th was "Burn Notice" star Jeffrey Donova, rounding out the finalists was last years Best Actor runner up "Private Practice" star Taye Diggs.

The Best Actress in a Action/Drama of 2011 as voted by you the fans was.. Stana Katic - Castle.
 
A year & a bit ago I had never heard of Stana Katic. I had barely heard of "Castle", the show she co-stars on. But, after 2 years of seeing write in votes & nominations for the her in a variety of cateogires, my eyes are open to the show and its main stars now. I started watching the homicide centred drama this year & like many of you that voted, loved it too. Katic's performance as Det. Kate Beckett is certainly worthy of this praise.
 
Stana won handily, but earily on, she had resistence from a couple competitors, mainly from the eventual distant runnerup "Once Upon A Time" star Jennifer Morrison. Immediately behind her in 3rd was early on leader "Game Of Thrones" star Lena Headey. 4th & 5th were a pair of "Criminal Minds" actresses A.J. Cook & Paget Brewster. 6th was another "Once Upon A Time" actress Ginnifer Goodwin, back in 7th was the young "Game Of Thrones" star Maisie Williams, just narrowly beating out 8th place "Once Upon A Time" actress Lana Parrilla. 9th was "Burn Notice" actress Sharon Gless, and rounding out the finalists was "Revenge" star Emily VanCamp. 
 
All three from the top 3 had at one point held the lead.

The Best Comedy Program of 2011 as voted by you the fans was.. The Big Bang Theory.
 
With 1st & 3rd in the Best actress, and 2nd & 3rd in the Best actor categories for comedies, it comes as no surprise that The Big Bang Theory pulled out Best Comedy honours. The comedy about a group of nerds & the women in their lives has appealed on a massive scale. Whether its because of Sheldon's often too complex ideologies of simple things, Leonard's continual effort to bed a woman far out of his league, Raj's complete inability to even talk to the opposite sex, or Howard's complicated mother issues, the guys of the show always manage to garner laughs. But what has become far more prominent in the past year or so is the inclusion of the female cast into this. With Penny as the lead female, and the object of Leonard's desires, she was generally seen as the "only" main female character on the show, however, this past year or so has watched Bernadette & more recently Amy become just as important to the stories & laughs.
 
"The Big Bang Theory" opened a strong lead in voting & coasted to an easy victory with over a 200 vote cushion over another CBS sitcom, runner up "How I Met Your Mother". The 3rd place spot was a fight that bounced back & forth several times, but eventually the NBC hit "Community" narrowly edged out "Glee" for the honours, "Psych" rounded out the finalists in 5th..
 
This category was the only category The Big Bang Theory didnt win in the comedy genre.
