Arrow has 2 of the top 3, including John Behring for "Unthinkable" as the top vote getter, narrowly beating out 2012 winner Jensen Ackles for "Soul Survivor" on Supernatural. Douglas Aarniokoski on "Seeing Red" rounds out the bookends of the Arrow Supernatural Arrow trio. Amanda Tapping managed 2 finalist spots with her 2 part Continuum episodes. Besides 2012 winner Ackles, Pamela Fryman "How Your Mother Met Me" is the only other previous contender for Best Director, making the semi-finals last year. Last years winning show Glee, had no finalists this year as their 2 semi-finalist contenders did not advance. The Best Episode category, aka - "favorite Supernatural episode" in the years past could be a hard one to predict. Supernatural is well represented in the finals. SEVEN finalists for the 3X Winning show, Arrow and Lost Girl managed 5, while Castle has 4. While it would SEEM to be a safe bet with Arrow & Supernatural dominating the top 8 spots that they are a shoe in to win, theres then the fact that in the finals the amount of challengers you can vote for will be limited to 2 or 3. Vote splitting is always a problem when a show shoves too many of its challengers into a finals. Perhaps The Flash or Murdoch Mysteries with their 1 singular nominee will win because their fans will not be split on who to vote for. Also, an error occurred in listing for a couple days of this category. One of the Arrow finalists, The Secret Origins Of Felicity Smoak was mistakenly listed as Draw Back Your Bow for awhile, so if you voted for DBYB & wonder where it is.... is was changed to TSOOFS during the round after the error was noticed. The Finals for these categories will take place in January 2015 HERE

The TARDIS from Doctor Who won this round in its 1st ever year of being nominated, despite being on the air throughout the existence of the BOTVA's. Only 2 of last years finalists, The Impala and last years runner up Rumplestiltskin's Dagger made the finals this year. In fact, Bear from Person of Interest is the ONLY other semi-finalist from last year to even make it this year. On the talk show host side. Nothing much changes. Ellen Degeneres again looks poised for a 3rd consecutive title as she handily won the semi-finals, as she has in the previous years. All of last years finalists made this years finals as well. Also making it are newcomer John Oliver, and retiring legend David Letterman, who did not even make the semi-finals last year. The Finals for these categories will take place in January 2015 HERE ![]() The Best Of TV Awards 2013 winner in the category of Favorite TV Program is Supernatural (CW). A long time force in the BOTVA's has been Supernatural. Winner of 10 awards this year, giving them 30 total awards in the 4 years of the awards. Supernatural, a story about two brothers Sam & Dean & doing the "family business". Killing demons & hunting things took a different approach this year, the Winchesters found themselves more often this past year working with demons and the King Of Hell, while killing a prophet, seeing their angelic friend become human, then an angel again & Sam getting possessed by an angel & the king of hell. Yep, just another year for them. SPN took 692 votes this year to give them a comfortable lead over runner ups "Lost Girl" at 582 votes. In 3rd was another CW show "Arrow" missed the runner up spot narrowly with 574 votes. In 4th was "Doctor Who" in 5th "Once Upon A Time" in 6th "Castle" in 7th "Game Of Thrones" in 8th "Continuum" in 9th "The Big Bang Theory" in 10th "Orphan Black" in 11th "Hannibal" in 12th "Hawaii Five-O" in 13th "The Walking Dead" in 14th "Sleepy Hollow" & in 15th "Fringe". Arrow & Game Of Thrones held leads on day 1, along with Supernatural. Day 2 & 3 SPN kept the lead, gave it to Lost Girl momentarily on day 3, before reclaiming itDay 5 saw SPN & Lost Girl change leads 4 times. Day 6 Lost Girl had the lead & SPN eventually took over & pulled away as they pushed a single digit lead to a 50+ vote lead in less than 8 hrs. This was the 10th award for Supernatural this year, setting a new record for wins in 1 year. Previous record held by Supernatural in 2012 with 9.
