The Winner of the 2014 Best Of TV Award for Best Comedy Actor is.... Jim Parsons "The Big Bang Theory" With 3 different winners in the 1st three years of the award, it seemed probable that this years winner would be a one of the previous winners. Jim Parsons "The Big Bang Theory" becomes the 1st ever multi-time winner of the Best Comedy Actor. The 2012 winner who brings to life the egocentric, nerdy scientist Sheldon Cooper on "The Big Bang Theory" beat out the 2013 wnner Chris Colfer "Glee" in 2nd and the 2011 winner Neil Patrick Harris "How I Met Your Mother" in 3rd in his final year of the show. Parsons 1312 votes is a new category record, his 266 vote margin of victory is also a category record. The previous records of 917 and 190 margin of victory were from Colfer last year. In 4th James Roday "Psych" in his last year on the show beats his 6th place finish from the year before. In 5th Andy Samberg of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" in his 1st finals appearance. In 6th is Simon Helberg "The Big Bang Theory" one spot down from his 5th place finish last year. In 7th is Darren Criss "Glee" in his 1st finals appearance. In 8th is Jake Johnson "New Girl" up 2 spots form 10th last year. In 9th is Timothy Omundson of "Psych" marking the lowest finish in his 3 finals appearances.

James Roday & Andy Samberg both held leads on opening day, along with Colfer & Parsons. Day 2 & 3 the top 3 leapfrogged each other a couple times each. By day 4 Parsons had opened up a slight gap & never was any closer. 1st JIM PARSONS "The Big Bang Theory" 1312

Her margin of victor of 318 is also a new record, breaking the record of 186 from last year by Dean Winchester. Ms. Smoak has had an interesting year. She had her crush tell her he loves her, was used to help her crush/boss take down Deathstroke, and got a new boss at her day job. Felicity has certainly become a fan favorite in the short time of the show. This was the 2nd year felicity was in the finals, finishing 4th last year & showing she might be a force to be reckoned with someday. Runner up this year goes to Kenzi from "Lost Girl" with 1,022 votes.

Kurt Hummel slipped to 14th this year after being 10th last year. Emma Swan "Once Upon A Time" in 24th returns to the finals for the 1st time since 2012. Odd statistical anomaly, Amy Farrah Fowler "The Big Bang Theory" in 40th has made the finals 4 times, and has finished last in 3 of the 4 years.

Osric Chau "Supernatural"
For the 3rd consecutive year a Supernatural Guest Star wins this award. Osric Chau, the 2013 Recurring Actor Award winner nabs the 2014 honour for Best Guest Star. Only a 31 vote margin of victory over another SPN familiar face, Kim Rhodes in 2nd, Rhodes held the lead several times as her and Chau leapfrogged each other a few times in the last 3 days before Chau took enough of a lead to not be caught. This is the smallest margin of victory in this category to date. In 3rd was "Agent Of SHIELD" guest Star Lucy Lawless. Another Supernatural guest star, Rob Benedict nabbed 4th ahead of Person of Interest guest star Winston Duke in 5th, Duke held the lead for much of the 1st two days of voting before slowing down considerably. Shockingly, considering the dominance she has had in all her other categories so far this year, Emily Bett Rickards finished a mediocre 6th in the guest star category for her spot on "The Flash" just ahead of Stephen Amell for the same episode. In 8th was "Once Upon A Time" guest star Rose McGowanjust ahead of 9th place Cliff Simon from "Castle" and rounding out the top 10 was a rare 3 way tie with Colin O'Donnell "Arrow", Hugh Dillon "Continuum" & Bob Newhart "The Big Bang Theory" all tying for the spot. Deon Richmond "Psych" nabbed 13th ahead of Natalie Dormer "Elementary" in 14th. Grant Gustin "Arrow" took 15th ahead of Robert Knepper 16th, Michael Rowe 17th & Charlotte Ross back in 18th also all from "Arrow. 1st OSRIC CHAU "Supernatural" 433 2nd KIM RHODES "Supernatural" 402 3rd LUCY LAWLESS "Agents Of SHIELD" 304 4th Rob Benedict "Supernatural" 259 5th Winston Duke "Person of Interest" 224 6th Emily Bett Rickards "The Flash" 194 7th Stephen Amell "The Flash" 103 8th Rose McGowan "Once Upon A Time" 87 9th Cliff Simon "Castle" 82 10th (tie) Colin Donnell "Arrow" 79 10th (tie) Hugh Dillon "Continuum" 79 10th (10th) Bob Newhart "The Big Bang Theory" 79 13th Deon Richmond "Psych" 65 14th Natalie Dormer "Elementary" 63 15th Grant Gustin "Arrow" 58 16th Robert Knepper "Arrow" 55 17th Michael Rowe "Arrow" 41 18th Charlotte Ross "Arrow" 29 |
