ARROW 783 CASTLE 396 HANNIBAL 394 COVERT AFFAIRS 344 HAWAII FIVE-O 234 SHERLOCK 226 MURDOCH MYSTERIES 173 CRIMINAL MINDS 157 PERSON OF INTEREST 154 THE BLACKLIST 150 ELEMENTARY 129, RIZZOLI & ISLES 126, GREY'S ANATOMY 105, THE MENTALIST 90, DOWNTON ABBEY 81, CHICAGO FIRE 74, REVENGE 72, THE NEWSROOM 68, REPUBLIC OF DOYLE 51, PARENTHOOD 45, THE KILLING 43 The Best Action or Drama actor category had 1 of the few notable upsets of recent memory last year when secondary star John barrowman of Arrow beat out his own shows lead, and the defending 2 time winner Nathan Fillion from Castle to take the award. This year, those same top 3 finalists from last year are back & in the serious mix for this years honour. Joining them are 1st time finalist Christopher Gorham from Covert Affairs who finished 2nd to Stephen Amell from Arrow for the semi-final vote, and Mads Mikkelsen from hannibal, who finished 4th, a spot higher than he finished in the finals of last years vote. While the top 5 from last year all made the finals this year, the bottom half of last years top 10 was not so lucky, only 7th place James Spader from The Blacklist & 10th place Hugh Dancy from hannibal is returning. Ousted were Johnny Lee Miller of Elementary, Matthew Gray Gubler from Criminal Minds and Jim Caviezel from Person of Interest. New to the party besides Gorham are, Paul Blackthorne and Colton Haynes from Arrow, giving them FOUR finalists. Yannick Bisson from Murdoch Mysteries, and Ben McKenzie from the rookie drama Gotham. The Best Action Or Drama Actress category has been the "Stana Katic Award" since its inception in 2011 as the actress from Castle has won all 3 times, making her the only actor or actress to win her award every year since its existence. But this year, it might not go her way if Emily Bett Rickards from Arrow has any say in it. The leading vote getting in the semi-finals had more than Katic & 3rd place fellow Arrow cast member Susanna Thompson combined. Three more Arrow cast made the finals with Caity Lotz in 4th, Willa Holland in 5th & Katie Cassidy in 12th, giving Arrow FIVE finalists. Surely vote splitting will be a major concern for the finalists there, giving Katic a bit of a chance still as she was the only finalist from Castle with Molly Quinn just missing out by 5 votes. Despite the seemingly lopsided rrow & Stana Katic race, there are other contenders. Lucy Liu from Elementary finished 3rd last year in the finals to Katic & Rickards, and comes in this year in 6th in the semi-finals. Amy Acker of Person Of Interest was also a finalist last year, finishing 5th and narrowly made it in this year in 11th. Grace Park finished 6th last year & finished 8th in this years semi-finals. Other newcomers besides the 4 newcomers from Arrow include Pauley Perrette from NCIS, Maggie Smith from Downton Abbey and Helene Joy from Murdoch Mysteries. Two finalists from last year Ellen Pompeo from Grey's Anatomy & Kerry Washington from Scandal failed to make the finals this year, along with Celina Jade from Arrow & Taraji P. Henson from Person Of Interest who are no longer eligible. The Best Action or Drama Program category will again look like a fight between the defending champion Arrow & the former 2 time champion Castle. Perennial contender Criminal Minds finished 3rd last year and finished 8th in the semi-final voting to make it 5 consecutive years in the finals, the ONLY Drama to have done so. Last years New Program runner up Hannibal finished 3rd in the semi-final vote, cementing itself as a contender this year. In 4th is 1st time finalist Covert Affairs. Joining Covert Affairs on the 1st time finalist list is Sherlock, Murdoch Mysteries & The Blacklist. Only 5 of last years finalists made it to the finals this year. Missing the mark this time were retired Breaking Bad, along with Rookie Blue, Elementary, Grey's Anatomy & The Mentalist. The Finals for these categories will take place in January 2015 HERE

This set of categories dealt with Best actor in comedy, sci-fi/fantasy, or action/drama, as well as Supporting actor. FINALISTS are in BOLD text. The Best Comedy actor category this year has had an unexpected challenger.... "Psych" star Timothy Omundson has taken the lead in both rounds of voting. Last years runner up "The Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons has been 2nd in both rounds. The 2011 winner Neil Patrick harris from "How I Met Your Mother" has been 3rd in both rounds. Cory Monteith from "Glee" nabbed 4th, while Danny Pudi of "Community" takes the final spot.

His castmates Jared Padalecki & Misha Collins round out the top 3, while "Fringe" star John Noble takes 4th & Norman Reedus from "The Walking Dead" squeaks into the final spot by 6 votes ahead of "The Secret Circle" star Gale Harold. Results for Best Sci-fi or Fantasy actor Semi-finals voting Jensen Ackles "Supernatural" 679 Jared Padalecki "Supernatural" 311 Misha Collins "Supernatural" 171 John Noble "Fringe" 159 Norman Reedus "The Walking Dead" 158 Gale Harold "The Secret Circle" 152 Joshua Jackson "Fringe" 145 Andrew Lincoln "The Walking Dead" 102 Robert Carlyle "Once Upon A Time" 98 Peter Dinklage "Game Of Thrones" 78 Ian Somerhalder "The Vampire Diaries" 70 Josh Dallas "Once Upon A Time" 68 Michael Kopsa "Fringe" 61 Seth Gabel "Fringe" 59 Best action/drama actor category looked like it might be a Person Of Interest uncontested sweep after the nomination round, but the semi-finals saw a different leader. "Hawaii Five-O" star Alex O'Loughlin took the lead spot, ahead of "Castle" star & the 2011 winner, Nathan Fillion. 3rd was the nomination round leader "Person Of Interest" star Jim Caviezel. "Burn Notice" star Bruce Campbell grabbed 4th, as Michael Emerson of "Person Of Interest" rounded out the top 5. Results for Best Action or Drama actor Semi-finals voting Alex O'Loughlin "Hawaii Five-O" 439 Nathan Fillion "Castle" 288 Jim Caviezel "Person Of Interest" 248 Bruce Campbell "Burn Notice" 222 Michael Emerson "Person Of Interest" 208 Michael C. Hall "Dexter" 160 Jeffrey Donovan "Burn Notice" 121 Hugh Laurie "House" 99 Damian Lewis "Homeland" 75 Thomas Gibson "Criminal Minds" 69 Shemar Moore "Criminal Minds" 64 Joel Kinnaman "The Killing" 58 Timothy Olyphant "Justified" 48 Charlie Hunnam "Sons Of Anarchy" 42 Gabriel Mann "Revenge" 26 When I created the Supporting actor/actress categories, it didnt really occur to me that someone might win it 2 years in a row for the same show... The guidelines I put in place, where the Supporting awards are given to actors who have a minimum 3 & maximumum 7 appearances in the year is vastly different than the major awards "supporting" actor/actress awards. Because of this, I didnt think there woud be too many times where there would be someone up for the award twice, in a row, let alone win it... Best Supporting Actor category was dominated by Supernatural cast members, as they took the top 4 spots. The winner of last years award, Mark Sheppard is headed into the final as the semi-finals leader, besting his other SPN bretheren Ty Olsson, Jim Beaver & Osric Chau. "Fringe" star Michael Cerveris took 5th. I felt compelled to extend this category to 7 because of the SPN dominance "Dexter" baddie Ray Stevenson & "Fringe" baddie Jared Harris tied for the final spot. Results for Best Supporting Actor Semi-finals voting Mark Sheppard "Supernatural" 259 Ty Olsson "Supernatural" 147 Jim Beaver "Supernatural" 143 Osric Chau "Supernatural" 106 Michael Cerveris "Fringe" 83 Ray Stevenson "Dexter" 82 Jared Harris "Fringe" 82 Kurt Fuller "Psych" 68 Wil Wheaton "Eureka" 39 Shaun Smyth "Fringe" 21 The Best Guest star finals appear to be a Supernatural vs Fringe battle as 5 of the 6 finalists come form those 2 shows. With 5 of the 10 semi-finalists it was a near mathematical probability Supernatural would have at least someone in the finals. SPN guest star DJ Qualls leader in both rounds, goes into the finals as the favorite. Another SPN'er was 2nd this round, Felicia Day. Fringe sporadically seen mastermind Leonard Nimoy was 3rd, Supernatural's Mark Pellegrino 4th, Fringe guest star Rebecca Mader nabbed 5th, while Wil Wheaton of The Big Bang Theory in the final couple hours closed a 5 vote gap to tie Mader for the 5th spot.

This set of categories dealt with Best Actors in Comedy, Sci-fi or Fantasy & Action or Drama. The Best Comedy category was dominated by 3 shows, Psych, The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother, as they combined, took the top 7 spots in the category. Timothy Omunson from Psych was an unlikely leader, as he managed a large lead over Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory and Neil Patrick Harris, last years winner from how I Met Your Mother. The top 5 were rounded out by Johnny Galecki from The Big Hang Theory and James Roday from Psych. Those who have advanced to the semi-finals will be in BOLD text.
