 The 2016 Best Of TV Awards winner in the category of Sexiest Actor is - Christian Kane This years winner was a pretty unexpected pick to me. While Christian Kane has been wildly popular in the past during his Leverage days, he was never quite "in the hunt" for awards.... often making the finals, but coming up well short. This year, his fandom rallied together to give the man from Dallas, Texas this years title of Sexiest Actor. His only previous effort in the category got him to the semi-finals in 2014. Kane won with 257 votes, narrowly holding off Jensen Ackles, the former 3X winner. Going into the last day, Kane has a 44 vote lead, but won with just a 24 vote margin. Jensen Ackles was 2nd, the 3X winner of this award has now been runner up for 3 consecutive years. Misha Collins was 3rd with 188 votes. This was his first finals appearance since 2013. after 3 consecutive 4th place finishes. This gives him his highest ranking ever. Colin O'Donoghue was 4th with 157 votes. He finished 7th, 8th & 3rd in his previous finals appearances. David Giuntoli was 5th in his first ever finals appearance with 87 votes. Jared Padalecki was 6th with 45 votes in his 6th consecutive finals appearance. Stephen Amell, the defending 2X winner stumbled down to 7th this year with 32 votes. Chris Evans was 8th with 26 votes. Chris Hemsworth with 25 votes came in 9th. Tom Ellis was 10th with 24 votes. 1st CHRISTIAN KANE 257 2nd JENSEN ACKLES 233 3rd MISHA COLLINS 188 4th COLIN O'DONOGHUE 157 5th DAVID GIUNTOLI 87 6th JARED PADALECKI 45 7th STEPHEN AMELL 32 8th CHRIS EVANS 26 9th CHRIS HEMSWORTH 25 10th TOM ELLIS 24 11th Benedict Cumberbatch 22 12th Alex O'Loughlin 19 13th Jamie Dornan 18 14th Tom Hardy 17 14th Tyler Hoechlin 17 16th Jason Momoa 16 17th Chris Pratt 15 18th Jeffrey Dean Morgan 13 19th Josh Dallas 11 20th Grant Gustin 10 21st Colton Haynes 9 22nd Tom Hiddelston 7 You can find ALL of this years winners HERE You can find ALL the all-time winners HERE

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..
