BEST OF TV AWARDS 2017 will be coming SOON. Till then, here is the NOMINATION THREAD

The 2017 Best Of TV Awards will open soon with the 1st round of voting in late early November.

Before that however, we need some nominees for the awards obviously.

To begin, below is a list of actors/characters/shows etc ALREADY NOMINATED.
They are automatically nominated if they have the following standards.
- Still eligible in the category by the guidelines stated. In the case of actors, they may be relocated to a different category based on which standard they reached for the year. This does not always match up with what category they previously were in.
- Nominees get automatically nominated either thru being a finalist last year, a winner or runner up in a previous year, or a winner or nominee for either the Emmy, Golden Globe or Peoples Choice Awards.

Like past years, Nominations are open to anyone. PLEASE make sure your nomination IS eligible for the category you are adding them in. The less time I have to spend sorting out if they are eligible or not, the faster the awards can start & thus, end.

If someone is on the list of automatic nominees, OR in the comments below YOU DO NOT HAVE TO NOMINATE THEM. Only 1 nomination is needed. More nominations does nothing except annoy me & slow down the process.... so take a read thru before you add who you want to add.

Shows that were eligible last year with finalists that no longer are - . These are all shows who did not have a new episode in 2017.

REMEMBER. If you don't nominate your choice NOW, you cant really complain later if they didn't win or even get out of the opening round of voting.

VOTING CHANGE THIS YEAR! Please be aware, at this time, the rounds of voting might be reduced from 3 to 2. So make considerations carefully based on this possible change.
