Neil winning best comedic actor wasnt too big of a stretch for the openly gay man who plays the well dressed womanizing egomaniac on HIMYM. His work as Barney Stinson has been legen...wait for it..... dary since the shows inception. NPH lead the category froms tart to finish, and after being snubbed for a finalist spot in last years first ever awards in the best actor category (genre specific categories didnt exist last year), he earned a win that he truly deserved.
Neil had a stranglehold on the lead for the majority of the poll, although the lead shrank some on the final couple days, as runner up "The Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons closed iin, beating out his co-star, 3rd place TBBT cast member Johnny Galecki. The other challengers battled for the other positions far back of these big 3, as Cory Monteith from "Glee' narrowly snagged 4th ahead of a trio of "Community" stars Danny Pudi 5th, Joel McHale 6th & Chevy Chase 7th, Christian Slater on "Breaking In" took 8th, Henry Winkler from "Children's Hospital" snagged 9th and Chris Pratt from "Parks & Recreation" rounded out the finalists.
This category was the only category The Big Bang Theory didnt win in the comedy genre.
