Here are the results for the 1st set of categories to be voted on for the semi-finalists of the Canadagraphs BEST OF TV AWARDS 2012.

Every year, there has been the exhausting time draining challenge of deleting write in votes that dont count. Again, this year, no different.

The Best Non-Human Character Or Prop category had a tonne of votes for human beings. People seemed to be under the assumption "well, the character isnt human...so that counts". WRONG. If its a human being playing the part, thats NON a non-human character. An animal, non-human. A machine - non-human. An "angel" or "vampire" or anything else thats played by an actor...HUMAN. So, I'm sorry Lost Girl & Supernatural fans, you wrote in a lot of votes for nothing.

Those who have advanced to the semi-finals will be in BOLD Text
