 Photo credit - CBS The 2015 Best Of TV Awards Winner for Sexiest Actress is Amy Acker. This years winner has been on somewhat of a rollercoaster whirlwind of success in 2015. Amy Acker, who plays deranged Root on the CBS hit show "Person of Interest" has garnered a lot of fan love in the past year. Besides her first BOTVA, Acker's character won our annual May Madness Favorite Character tournament last year, as well as Spoiler TV's version of it , the Character Cup. As well she has at least 1 more award coming this year. Acker a recurring role on Con Man and a 2 episode guest spot on Suits. The 39 year old actress beat out a trio of former winners in Emily Bett Rickards (2014), Jennifer Lawrence (2013) and Stana Katic (2012) for the award. The two leaders Acker, and Rickards leapfrogged each other a couple times during the voting, with Acker actually being behind by 11 votes at the start of the last day of voting. But, as we will see several more times in this years awards, last day voting pushes made the difference in the end. The 2014 winner Emily Bett Rickards finished 2nd with a notable lead over the 2012 winner Stana Katic who finished 3rd. Perennial top 4 finisher Zoie Palmer nabbed 4th, making it her 5th time in the top 4. Gillian Anderson, hot off her return of The X-Files nabbed 5th in her 1st ever Sexiest Actress BOTVA appearance. Scarlett Johansson in her 2nd consecutive finals slipped 1 spot this year to 6th. The 2013 Winner Jennifer Lawrence dropped two spots from last years 5th place finish to 7th this year. Sarah Shahi in her 1st ever Sexiest Actress appearance took 8th. Lana Parrilla dropped 2 spots from last years 7th to finish 9th this year. Jennifer Morrison dropped 1 spot from last year to take the final spot in the top 10.

The 2015 Best Of TV Awards are about to start the Finals soon. The 6th annual BOTVA's are still closing out some polls for the run off round before we advance to the finals. We've already shattered the previous record for votes in the first round combined. With over 487,000 votes. The 2015 BOTVA's all time record of 575,000 votes in a year looks sure to fall as we passed the 560,000 vote mark in the semi-finals & nearly broke the 570,000 mark. Here are the complete results (BOLD nominees have qualified for the Finals) SEXIEST ACTRESS Emily Bett Rickards 1081 Amy Acker 736 Sarah Shahi 521 Zoie Palmer 294 Anna Silk 245 Scarlett Johansson 165 Lana Parrilla 154 Gillian Anderson 152 Jennifer Lawrence 148 Hayley Atwell 127 Stana Katic 121 Katrina Law 82 Jennifer Morrison 79 Yvonne Strahovski 72 Elizabeth Henstridge 61 Anna Torv 55 Jenna Coleman 50 Kat Dennings 49 Jamie Chung 48 Grace Park 47 Rose McIver 43 Katie Holmes 35 Jennifer Love Hewitt 34 Saoirse Ronan 30 Molly Quinn 23 Melissa Rauch 20 Aly Michalka 19 Deborah Ann Woll 19 Sarah Silverman 15 Charity Wakefield 12 Sexiest Actor Stephen Amell 780 Mads Mikkelsen 203 Jim Caviezel 196 Jared Padalecki 180 Chris Hemsworth 146 Chris Evans 129 Jensen Ackles 122 Alex O'Loughlin 95 Chris Pratt 92 Kris Holden-Ried 90 Tom Hiddleston 98 Tom Hardy 82 Benedict Cumberbatch 78 Colin O'Donoghue 78 Grant Gustin 78 Johnny Depp 78 Ian Somerhalder 74 Liam Hemsworth 74 John Barrowman 71 Josh Dallas 70 Nathan Fillion 70 Shemar Moore 70 Idris Elba 53 Hugh Dancy 48 Misha Collins 41 Chris Pine 40 Joshua Jackson 38 Jamie Dornan 37 Tom Cruise 37 Norman Reedus 34 Timothy Omundson 33 Vincent D'Onofrio 30 Philip Winchester 24 Joel Kinnaman 21 Best Non-Human Character or Prop BEAR "Person of Interest" 396 THE MACHINE "Person Of Interest" 361 THE IMPALA "Supernatural" 302 LAZARUS PIT "Arrow" 255 ATOM SUIT "Arrow" 198 THE TARDIS "Doctor Who" 183 THE FLASH SUIT "The Flash" 130 RUMPLESTILTSKINS DAGGER "Once Upon A Time" 116 S.T.A.R. Labs "The Flash" 97 Daryl's crossbow "The Walking Dead" 84 Michonnes Katana "The Walking Dead' 82 Sonic Screwdriver "Doctor Who" 65 The Sexiest Actress category will see 14 of the 16 finalists from last year in this years final again. Only finalists last year to miss the mark this year were two of my faves, Molly Quinn & Jennifer Love Hewitt. Despite the finalists list expanding from 16 to 20. Newcomers to the finals this year will include Amy Acker, Sarah Shahi, Gillian Anderson, Hayley Atwell, Elizabeth Henstridge, Grace Park. The last 3 winners, Emily Bett Rickards, Jennifer Lawrence and Stana Katic are all in this years finals. Along with 4 time top 3 finalist Zoie Palmer. In a rare occurance in these awards, pretty much all the leaders in the nomination round were near the top in the semi-finals. The top 4 in this round, Rickards, Acker, Shahi, Palmer, were also the top 4 in the opening round. As well, Anderson, Silk and Parrilla in the opening round all finished in the top 8 & did so here as well. This is nothing short of rare for these awards, as the opening round often sees 1 or 2 hopefuls being propped up by a couple enthusiastic supporters fall by the wayside in round 2 when the voting is limited to 1 each. Last years winner Emily Bett Rickards had sizable leads in the 1st & 2nd rounds & would seem like a good bet to repeat this year. The Sexiest Actor Category was not so predictable. While last years winner Stephen Amell did lead the semi-final voting, he was an adequate 8th in the opening round. The Nomination round vote leader Mads Mikkelsen continued with trying to make an impact by coming in 2nd in the semi-finals. His co-star, who finished 2nd in round 1, didnt even qualify for the finals. Strange to say the least, its usually not till the finals that fandoms abandon a 2nd choice when voting is streamlined to only 1 or 2 picks. Another top 5 opening round vote getter didnt make the finals, Vincent D'Onofrio, as the power of the small handful of voters he had in the first round couldnt get enough of their fans to follow suit in round 2. Jim Caviezel, Jared Padalecki & Chris Hemsworth round out the top 5 in the semi-finals. Only Caviezel was a top 5 name after round one of voting. Three time winner Jensen Ackles qualified for the finals in 7th, the lowest hes ever come into the finals at. The Best Non-Human Character or Prop category looks poised to potentially have a new winner. The four time winner, The Impala from "Supernatural" seems to have some stiff competition this year. The "Person Of Interest" dog Bear has led the voting in both rounds, with another POI candidate second in both, The Machine. While The Impala did improve from the 1st round to the 2nd round by going from a 5th place showing up to a 3rd place showing & was less than 100 votes behind the leader, this is clearly the first ever sign of any challenge to the defending 4X champions crown. Interestingly the 3rd place finisher in round 1, did not even make the finals, finishing 2nd to last. While the last place qualifier in round 1 finished in the top 5 this round. The Final round of the 2015 Best Of TV Awards will be under way with some categories soon. Each voting round will last 3 to 6 days..

The Finals for the 5th annual BOTVA's will begin in early 2015. But 1st we need candidates to compete in the finals. The results below are for the categories of Sexiest Actor & Sexiest Actress Sexiest Actor MADS MIKKELSEN 405 KRIS HOLDEN-RIED 230 JENSEN ACKLES 218 HUGH DANCY 170 COLIN O'DONOGHUE 163 NATHAN FILLION 145 STEPHEN AMELL 144 BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH 124 CHRIS EVANS 112 JOHNNY DEPP 111 TOM HIDDLESTON 106 JAMIE DORNAN 96 JARED PADALECKI 96 IAN SOMERHALDER 95 SHEMAR MOORE 84 CHRIS PRATT 84 NORMAN REEDUS 78, MISHA COLLINS 73, HENRY CAVILL 65, MATT SMITH 61, CHRIS PINE 59, NEIL PATRICK HARRIS 47, TOM HARDY 46, TOM MISON 46, COLTON HAYNES 40, ANDREW LINCOLN 33, GRANT GUSTIN 32, JOSH JACKSON 31 JOEL KINNAMAN 27, YANNICK BISSON 27, CHRIS COLFER 25, TOM RILEY 18, CHRISTIAN KANE 17 Sexiest Actress ANNA SILK 366 ZOIE PALMER 273 STANA KATIC 218 SCARLETT JOHANSSON 194 JENNIFER LAWRENCE 194 LANA PARRILLA 152 JENNIFER MORRISON 144 EMILY BETT RICKARDS 130 KAT DENNINGS 83 JENNA COLEMAN 56 JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT 54 YVONNE STRAHOVSKI 44 ANNA TORV 40 KATRINA LAW 39 MOLLY QUINN 39 JAMIE CHUNG 38 EMILY KINNEY 31, ERICA DURANCE 27, ANNA FARIS 26, ALISON BRIE 23, HELENE JOY 23, ALY MICHALKA 20, SARAH BOLGER 20, GEORGINA REILLY 17, MELISSA RAUCH 15 Defending 3X champion Jensen Ackles looks like he could be in a battle this year with Mads Mikkelsen & Kris Holden-Ried both outvoting him in the semi-finals. There are 8 challengers who made the finals last year that also have made the finals this year. Included in that bunch is last years runner up Benedict Cumberbatch and 3rd place challenger Colin O'Donoghue. Two finalists were not even nominees last year, Tom Hiddleston & Chris Pratt. Last years 4th place finisher, Misha Collins, missed the finals by 11 votes. With 3 different winners in the 3 years of this award, Sexiest Actress might be on the verge of going 4 for 4 if the semi-finals are a sign of what the finals will bring. Despite the strong penalties against Zoie Palmer and Anna Silk for the ineligible vote penalties of the nomination round, both of them managed to finish 1st & 2nd in this category. However, they still will have penalties against them in the finals. At least going into the finals.... they look the the pair to beat for the award. The last 2 Sexiest Actress winners Jennifer Lawrence & Stana Katic are again in the finals in 3rd & 4th. However, the first ever winner Erica Durance, did not make the finals this year. Like the men, 8 of last years finalists made this years finals. The highest ranked finalist last year to not make it this year was Olivia Wilde, as she did not even make the semi-finals this year. The finals for these categories will take place in January 2015 HERE.
