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 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"

DEAN WINCHESTER

(portrayed by: Jensen Ackles on "Supernatural")

A hat-trick for Supernatural fans. Dean Winchester, the Jensen Ackles acted character on "Supernatural" takes the top spot in the Most Entertaining Or Fascinating Character of 2010 finals.

The apocalpyse stopping, demon hunting, sharp tongued older Winchester brother fended off a steep field of contenders, including some of his own castmates, as well as... 2 Smallville contestants.

Dean beat out Superman's main squeeze, "Smallville" cutie Lois Lane (Erica Durance) by 54 votes in the end 722-668

While Lois fans might feel disappointment that they gave up a lead they had had since very early in the contest, they can also take solace in the fact they prevented a clean sweep of the podium for Supernatural. 3rd spot goes to the monotone speaking often confused angel Castiel (played by Misha Collins) from Supernatural with 478 votes. Deans baby brother Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) takes 4th spot at 459.

Oliver Queen, aka, The Green Arrow (Justin Hartley) from Smallville takes 5th spot with 357, while Crowley (Mark Sheppard) from Supernatural made a big push on the final day to jump from 11th to 6th  with a final total of 343.

The best of the non SPN vs SV crew was the often absent minded scientist Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble) on "Fringe" with 314 votes.

The mr. know it all theoretical physicist from "The Big Bang Theory"  Dr. Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) with 291 votes grabbed 8th.

The Legen...wait for it.. Dary ladies man Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) "How I Met Your Mother" grabbed 9th with 206, while socially awkward thief Parker (Beth Riesgraf) of "Leverage" rounds out the top 10 with 201.

Eli Wallace (David Blue) of "Stargate Universe" ginished 11th 179. Dexter Morgan (Michael C Hall) from "dexter" 12th with 152, Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell) "Burn Notice" 13th with 112, Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) "Burn Notice" 91 and finally, Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik) "The Big Bang Theory" rounds out the contest with 75.

There is only 1 day left for voting on the Best Of TV 2010 awards on my site.
With the People's Choice Awards done, this is the chance for some shows, who got shafted at the largest public voted awards to get a 2nd chance.

If you have not already voted...You can vote here...
http://canadagraphs.weebly.com/best-of-tv-awards-polls.html

Despite lots of attempts to cheat/sabotage people, voting has continued. With each attempt to cheat or sabotage someone has come a new security issue I have had to deal with & create a way to sidestep the cheating. While I concede SOME cheater votes may have gotten mixed into the totals, MOST (i'll even say well over 95%) were thwarted.

Unfortunately for the likes of House, Smallville & Private Practice, some of their contenders were disqualified for either blatant cheating, or being sabotaged before proper defenses were put in place. It should be noted that while House, Smallville & Private Practice candidates were caught using automated voting bots, MANY legitimate votes from these shows were also cast. unfortunately, it just took 1 jerk to ruin your chances. I apologize to those who took the effort to rally support for their shows, only to have it go for nothing. Trust me when I say, future polls will have far more advanced steps in place to prevent this from happening again.

With that aside....with 1 day left of voting....here are the current results.
