The Best Supporting Actress of 2012 as voted by you the fans was.. RACHEL MINER "SUPERNATURAL".
Our Supporting actor/actress awards of course are a bit different than the mainstream awards. With a requirement of no less than 3, and no more than 7 episode appearances in the calendar year, you get a various assortment of notable & less notable people nominated. For the 2nd year in a row, a Supernatural actress nabs the award. After Julia Maxwell took home the award in a narrow win last year, Rachel Miner followed suit this year in a more convincing fashion. With the fate of her character Meg unknown, theres still the chance we could see her back for the award next year? Another observation is, the leader in the semi-finals, Michelle Borth went from 1st to 5th as the option of multiple voting is eliminated we often see contenders who were pushed into the finals with a handful of devoted voters, unable to keep up when they can only vote once. Rachel Miner beat runner up Yvonne Strahovski from "Dexter" by a 170 vote gap. Another "Supernatural" actress, Liane Balaban took 3rd just 49 votes behind 2nd & 33 votes ahead of 4th place "Fringe" star Georgina Haig. Rounding out the finalists was the "Hawaii Five-O" start Michelle Borth Rachel Miner gives Supernatural ther 2nd win in this award. They are also the only show to have a finalist in both years. Final vote totals Rachel Miner "Supernatural" 526 Yvonne Strahovski "Dexter" 357 Liane Balaban "Supernatural" 308 Georgina Haig "Fringe" 275 Michell Borth "Hawaii Five-O" 166

Best Of TV Awards 2012 Winner - Best Couple - RICHARD CASTLE & KATE BECKETT (CASKETT) "CASTLE"1/25/2013 The Best Couple of 2012 as voted by you the fans was.. RICHARD CASTLE & KATE BECKETT "Castle" .
This poll was basically 2 different polls in 1. The 1st couple days, it was all Lost Girl couple of Bo & Dr. Lauren Lewis, as they had almost as many votes as the 2nd, 3rd & 4th challengers combined for awhile. The last couple days was all about Castle. In the end, the Lost Girl fanbase just was not large enough to hold on. Personally, I see the Caskett win as a bit underwhelming. I for a long time wanted this couple to get together...but when they finally did, I just didnt feel like it was all that special. The will they or wont they was answered, and it lead to pretty underwhelming results in my opinion...however, Castle fans disagreed with me & voted them in as best couple on the 1st year they were officially eligible. "Castkett" beat runner ups Bo & Lauren by a slim 58 votes. 3rd, Fringe couple Peter Bishop & Olivia Dunham "Polivia" was a distant 280 votes back, and 94 votes ahead of 4th place "Shamy" The Big Bang Theory couple of Dr. Sheldon Cooper & Amy Farrah Fowler. The finalists were rounded out by Psych couple Shawn Spencer & Juliet O'Hara "Shules" 47 behind 4th. Caskett knocked off the defending champs from Lost Girl. With the deletion of the couple from Smallville, these were the same top 3 finalists as last year, For the 2nd year in a row, the best couple winners actors were an all Canadian pair (Katic - Hamilton, ON. Fillion - Edmonton, AB) Final vote totals Richard Castle & Kate Beckett (Caskett) "Castle" 597 Bo & Dr. Lauren Lewis "Lost Girl" 539 Peter Bishop & Olivia Dunham (POlivia) "Fringe" 259 Dr. Sheldon Cooper & Amy Farrah Fowler (ShAmy) "The Big Bang Theory" 165 Shawn Spencer & Juliet O'Hara (Shules) "Psych" 118 The Best TV Episode of 2012 as voted by you the fans was.. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST "SUPERNATURAL".
For the 2nd year in a row Supernatural wins best episode. Their season 7 finale, where the Winchester boys, with help from Castiel & the demon Meg take on Leviathan head Dick Roman & kill the seasons big baddie before the fangirls worst nightmare unfolds & the boys are split up as Castiel & Dean are sent to Purgatory while Sam stands alone in a room as Crowley puts it "you are well & truly, on your own". They also managed 3rd this year. Unlike last year where there was 8 finalists, from 8 different shows, this year there was 10 finalists from only 6 different shows, as 4 of them had 2 nominees each. Along with Supernatural, Castle (2nd & 4th), Fringe (5th & 6th) & Psych (9th & 10th) all had multiple finalists. The Walking Dead & Dexter were the only shows holding down 1 spot each. "Survival Of The Fittest" beat runner up "Undead Again" from Castle by only 27 votes. The 3rd place Supernatural episode "The Girl With The Dungeons And Dragons Tattoo" was not far behind either only 29 votes behind 2nd. The 2nd Castle contender "Linchpin" came in 4th 62 votes back and 83 votes ahead of 5th place "Brave New World Pt 1&2" from Fringe. "Survival Of The Fittest" is the 2nd win in a row for the CW show Supernatural. Only Supernatural & Fringe managed to have finalists in back to back years. Final vote totals Survival Of The Fittest "Supernatural" 461 Undead Again "Castle" 434 The Girl With The Dungeons And Dragons Tattoo"Supernatural" 405 Linchpin "Castle" 343 Brave New World Pt 1&2 "Fringe" 260 The End Of All Things "Fringe" 245 Are You...? "Dexter" 150 Beside The Dying Fire "The Walking Dead" 115 Santabarbaratown "Psych" 98 Heeeeere's Lassie "Psych" 95 The Best Director of 2012 as voted by you the fans was.. JENSEN ACKLES "Heartache" (Supernatural).
One small drawback from polls open to the public...they become popularity contests. While I will say, I enjoyed the episode Jensen Ackles directed, I would say hes an adequate TV director for now. None the less, he is this years winner. This win gives him 7 awards here in 3 years. He apparently can win awards he probably should not even be nominated for. Got to feel bad for Guy Norman Bee getting beat by someone he himself has directed. Jensen beat runner up another "Supernatural" director Guy Normal Bee by 343 votes, and was 141 votes ahead of 3rd. The 3rd & 4th went to "Fringe" directors, Joe Chappelle & Jon Cassar were 12 votes apart. Ernest R. Dickerson from "The Walking Dead' came in 5th ahead of David Crabtree of "Psych" to round out the finalists. This was the 1st ever Director award handed out. The top 2 in this category were both write in nominees, I cant recall a category previously in the 2 years prior where that has happened before. Final vote totals Jensen Ackles "Heartache" (Supernatural) 687 Guy Normal Bee "Blood Brother" (Supernatural) 354 Joe Chappelle "Letters Of Transit" (Fringe) 213 Jon Cassar "Through The Looking Glass And What Walter Found There (Fringe) 201 Ernest R. Dickerson "Beside The Dying Fire" (The Walking Dead) 94 David Crabtree "Santabarbaratown" (Psych) 69 Best Of TV Awards 2012 Winner "Best Sci-Fi Or Fantasy Actress" JENNIFER MORRISON (Once Upon A Time)1/25/2013 The Best Actress in an Sci-Fi or Fantasy series of 2012 as voted by you the fans was.. JENNIFER MORRISON "ONCE UPON A TIME".
Winning this award is finally a redemption for Ms. Morrison. She has been a finalist for 4 previous awards (sexiest actress 2012, Favorite character, Supporting actress & best drama/action actress 2011) with 2 runner ups & no awards. Her role as the nomadic bounty hunter turned saviour of fairie tale characters has put her back on the map after leaving "House". The 2010 Best Actress winner, the FBI agent turned enemy of the futuristic overlords of earth, Anna Torv from "Fringe" finished 2nd in the final season of the show. In 3rd was another "Once Upon A Time" actress Lana Parrilla as the evil queen/mayor of Storybrooke. 4th thru 6th were all from "Lost Girl" and I had assumed Zoie Palmer would probably win this award... but with an influx of new voters, mainly from The Walking Dead & Castle, changing the results of categories they werent even in, the 3 girls from Lost Girl probably were the most affected. Anna Silk & Ksenia Solo round out the finalists. Jennifer Morrison beat runner up Anna Torv by 212 votes, back in 3rd was Lana Parrilla 62 votes behind the runner up & 408 votes ahead of 4th place Zoie Palmer. In 5th was Anna Silk 138 votes behind 4th & 106 ahead of Ksenia Solo, the 6th place finalist. Jennifer Morrison takes the vacated title that was previously held by Erica Durance from "Smallville". Before the actress category was split into 3 categories, the 2010 "Best actress" winner, Anna Torv has since finished runner up in the 2 years since. All of the finalists, with the exception of Zoie Palmer, were up for a best actress award last year, Morrison & Parrilla for drama/action, and Solo, Silk & Torv for sci-fi. Final vote totals Jennifer Morrison "Once Upon A Time" 1338 Anna Torv "Fringe" 1126 Lana Parrilla "Once Upon A Time" 1064 Zoie Palmer "Lost Girl" 656 Anna Silk "Lost Girl" 518 Ksenia Solo "Lost Girl" 412 The Sexiest Actor of 2012 as voted by you the fans was.. JENSEN ACKLES.
While the popularity of Supernatural this season seems to have waned a bit, what has not is the popularity of the shows starts, specifically the man from Dallas, Texas. Jensen Ackles. Pretty much every category Jensen Ackles enters, he seemingly wins. Going into 2012 awards Ackles, or his character Dean Winchester, already had 5 awards in the two previous years awards. This now gives him a 1/2 dozen of the honours. This is 1 of the awards where I think, even if I didnt already have a foot in the door of that fanbase with my blogs, they probably would still win it. The other major fanbase thats hoarding my awards like they are gold, Castle, got their star Nathan Fillion into 2nd, ruining a potential sweep of the top 3 spots by Supernatural. Jensen Ackles won a wide margain, a 270 vote victory over runner up Nathan Fillion. 58 votes back in 3rd was Jared Padalecki, ahead of his co-star 4th place Misha Collins 21 votes behind. Rounding out the top 5 was Gale Harold 64 votes back. Jensen wins his 2nd sexiest actor award. Last years runner up, Tom Welling finished a shocking 8th which shows, once you are off the TV, you are also out of peoples minds mostly. While Fillion went from not even being a finalist last year to runner up this year. Final vote totals Jensen Ackles 627 Nathan Fillion 357 Jared Padalecki 295 Misha Collins 274 Gale Harold 210 Johnny Depp 172 Joshua Jackson 144 Tom Welling 129 Kris Holden-Ried 116 Henry Cavill 108 The Sexiest Actress of 2012 as voted by you the fans was.. STANA KATIC.
This year, Castle fans, more than even last year when they took 3 awards, came determined to win. This poll & the best couple poll had a similar result, as a nominee from the TV show Castle beat out Zoie Palmer & Anna Silk, who finished 2nd & 3rd. The 34 year old Canadian (coincidentally the same age as last years winner...also a Canadian) from Hamilton, ON (how did I not know till now she was born the same place as me?) has gained quite a fandom with her role on the Crime Drama Castle, which has catapulted her to the top of many peoples want lists. Stana Katic beat the now 2-time runner up Zoie Palmer by 61 votes, while her cast mate 3rd place finisher Anna Silk finished 72 behind her. Former "Chuck" & now "Dexter" hottie Yvonne Strahovski finished 4th 73 votes behind. "Fringe" star Anna Torv rounded out the top 5 only 16 votes behind Strahovski. Stana Katic takes the title from defending champion Erica Durance, who finished a suprisingly low 11th. For the 2nd time in a row Zoie Palmer was runner up. Final vote totals Stana Katic 434 Zoie Palmer 373 Anna Silk 304 Yvonne Strahovski 231 Anna Torv 215 Jennifer Lawrence 160 Olivia Wilde 151 Alison Brie 105 Jennifer Love Hewitt 95 Jennifer Morrison 89 Erica Durance 82 |
