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.

Since January 24, 2011 my site has hosted a league and playoff tournament to find out my readers favorite Male & Female TV characters.

After almost 6 months, over 29000 playoff votes counted, over 28000 regular season votes counted, plus thosands more that were discarded for various reasons....we have some champions.

144 characters, 80 male, 64 female characters started out with hopes & dreams back then. Early on, it became clear there was 8 or 10 characters whose fans had become quite determined to push their favorites to the top. I guess its no surprise, considering my site talks primarily about Vancouver based shows, most of those characters were from Vancouver shows.

Smallville had 4 characters in Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Oliver Queen & Chloe Sullivan who early on emerged as serious contenders. A twitter campaign by Olivers 1st round opponent thwarted his chance to go far. Clark Kent had an indominable regular season, but once the playoff format of no multiple voting was in place, his support tailed some. Still Clark pushed thru to the mens finals, before finally falling. Chloe managed to hold on till the elite 8 of the womens tourney before she finally gave way to her castmate, Lois Lane....the eventual winner of the womens division & the only undefeated contestant in either side of the tournament.

Supernatural super hunter Dean Winchester looked unstopable early, while the shows other characters like Sam Winchester, Bobby Singer, Castiel & Crowley all started slow, but gained momentum as things rolled along in the regular season. In the playoffs Castiel went out early, losing to eventual finalist Clark Kent in round 2. Crowley would meet the same fate in round 3, losing to Clark Kent. Bobby Singer came within 1 game of knocking off his buddy Dean Winchester in round 3, but eventually gave way to the man who would eventually go on to win the Mens title, Dean.

Fringe lead female character Agent Olivia Dunham looked poised to also take a run at the title in the regular season, as was agent Astrid Farnsworth who won her division in the regular season. Astrid could not continue the success in the playoffs, bowing out in the sweet 16 round of the womens division. The shows male counterparts Peter & Walter Bishop both had strong regular seasons, playoff success didnt follow them as much, with each bowing out before their own division finals. Agent Olivia Dunham pushed thru to the womens final, before eventually being swept by womens champion Lois Lame.

Sanctuary lead character Dr. Helen Magnus had a slow start & only barely got into the playoffs with a losing record none the less...but once there, she proved to be a formidable opponent as her fanbase caught on to the game & pushed her to the final 4 of the womens tournament before losing to eventual champ Lois Lane.

Stargate Universe had many challengers in the playoffs. But playoff success was limited for the SGU crew. With all the contestants, including 3 regular season division champs in Eli Wallace, Dr. Dale Volker & Vanessa James, from the now cancelled show bowing out by the sweet 16 draw of each side.

There was some success for shows not from the 604.

The Big Bang Theory had 3 male playoff contestants, with Dr. Sheldon Cooper, Raj Koothrappali & Howard Wolowitz all making it. None however found a terribly successful playoff formula. However, lead female Penny made it to the final 4 on the womens side & even had a 2-0 series lead before falling to Agent Olivia Dunham.

How I Met Your Mother had 3 division champs in the regular season. Robin Scherbatsky, & Lily Aldrin on the womens side. Both however fell in the womens sweet 16 round. On the mens side, Legen..wait for it...DARY ladies man Barney Stinson made it to the mens final 4 before falling to Clark Kent.

The Simpsons mastermind Homer Simpson made the mens final 4 finals before bowing out to eventual champion Dean Winchester.

Several other challengers like Richard Castle from Castle, Dr. Gregory House of House, Daphne Powell from No Ordinary Family, Penelope Garcia of Criminal Minds, Seeley Booth from Bones & Turanga Leela from Futurama also flirted with some playoff success before leaving in the elite 8 rounds of their respective genders.

In the end. Dean Winchester from Supernatural won the mens tournament over Clark Kent of Smallville, while Clarks main squeeze, Lois Lane defeated Agent Olivia Dunham from Fringe for the womens title.

So congratulations to your 2011 favorite TV character winners
Mens- DEAN WINCHESTER (Jensen Ackles) "Supernatural"
Womens- LOIS LANE (Erica Durance) Smallville
