The Best Actor in a Comedy of 2011 as voted by you the fans was.. Neil Patrick Harris - How I Met Your Mother.
 
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.

Best Of TV Awards 2011 winner for Best Actress in a Comedy is - KALEY CUOCO - The Big Bang Theory

The Best Actress in a Comedy of 2011 as voted by you the fans was.. Kaley Cuoco - The Big Bang Theory.
 
When I was looking at finalists for all the categories, I pretty much expected this outcome. The woman behind many nerds & geeks dream character Penny had the perfect storm of opinion poll potential for voting. Extremely attractive, funny character, on a vastly popular show, and of course, the fact her character has an on again/off again relationship with a self-proclaimed nerd were all the key ingredients to a probable win for this category...and she didnt let them down. 
 
Kaley had a sizable lead on runner up Jane Lynch from "Glee". Lynch had a quick early lead, but failed to keep up the pace & eventually fell behind the eventual champ. 3rd was another "The Big Bang Theory" star, Mayim Bialik, who came close to catching Lynch in the final couple days. 4th was "30 Rock" star Tina Fey, 5th was the oldest finalist in ANY category, 90 year old Betty White from "Hot In Cleveland", Lea Michele from "Glee" came in 6th narrowly passing 7th place Alison Brie from "Community". Maggie Lawson of "Psych" came in 8th & Megan Mullally from "Children's Hospital" rounded out the finalists in 9th.
 
This category really showed the domination that The Big Bang Theory has in the comedy category. Finishing 1st in this category was not a shock, but a relative secondary character on the show managing to finish 3rd shows that fans of TBBT wildly love anything to do with their show. The ONLY thing that held back a sweep of the comedy categories for them was a well dressed womanizer in the actor category, or TBBT would have swept the genre. 
 
Final vote results 
Kaley Cuoco "The Big Bang Theory" 641
Jane Lynch "Glee" 416
Mayim Bialik "The Big Bang Theory" 396
Tina Fey "30 Rock" 358
Betty White "Hot In Cleveland" 317
Lea Michele "Glee" 273
Alison Brie "Community" 271
Maggie Lawson "Psych" 170
Megan Mullally "Children's Hospital" 127
