The results below are for the categories of Best Sci-Fi or Fantasy Actor, Actress & Program Vote totals are in RED TEXT Finalists are in BOLD TEXT Best Sci-Fi or Fantasy Actor JENSEN ACKLES (Supernatural) 445 GRANT GUSTIN (The Flash) 307 PETER DINKLAGE (Game Of Thrones) 242 CLARK GREGG (Agents Of SHIELD) 204 NIKOLAJ COSTER-WALDAU (Game Of Thrones) 200 ERIC BALFOUR (Haven) 198 PETER CAPALDI (Doctor Who) 192 JARED PADALECKI (Supernatural) 185 COLIN O'DONOGHUE (Once Upon A Time) 177 ROBERT CARLYLE (Once Upon A Time) 172 MISHA COLLINS (Supernatural) 161 NORMAN REEDUS (The Walking Dead) 157 ANDREW LINCOLN (The Walking Dead) 148, TOM MISON (Sleepy Hollow) 143, JOSH DALLAS (Once Upon A Time) 132, IAIN DE CAESTECKER (Agents Of SHIELD) 123, SEAN MAGUIRE (Once Upon A Time) 87, BILLY BURKE (Revolution) 83, VICTOR WEBSTER (Continuum) 52, ROGER CROSS (Continuum) 41 Best Sci-Fi or Fantasy Actress TATIANA MASLANY (Orphan Black) 297 LENA HEADEY (Game Of Thrones) 235 MING NA WEN (Agents Of SHIELD) 227 EMILY ROSE (Haven) 222 LANA PARRILLA (Once Upon A Time) 221 JENNIFER MORRISON (Once Upon A Time) 208 EMILIA CLARKE (Game Of Thrones) 200 CHLOE BENNET (Agents Of SHIELD) 191 ELIZABETH HENSTRIDGE (Agents Of SHIELD) 158 GINNIFER GOODWIN (Once Upon A Time) 139 MELISSA MCBRIDE (The Walking Dead) 129 JENNA COLEMAN (Doctor Who) 129 LAUREN COHAN (The Walking Dead) 107, EMILIE DE RAVIN (Once Upon A Time) 103, ELIZABETH MITCHELL (Once Upon A Time) 95, GEORGINA HAIG (Once Upon A Time) 91, DANAI GURIRA (The Walking Dead) 86, RACHEL NICHOLS (Continuum) 80, REBECCA MADER (Once Upon A Time) 74, TRACY SPIRADAKOS (Revolution) 74, LEXA DOIG (Continuum) 40 Best Sci-Fi or Fantasy Program GAME OF THRONES 336 SUPERNATURAL 308 ONCE UPON A TIME 283 AGENTS OF SHIELD 247 DOCTOR WHO 225 HAVEN 216 ORPHAN BLACK 209 THE WALKING DEAD 183 LOST GIRL 177 THE VAMPIRE DIARIES 140 SLEEPY HOLLOW 131, GRIMM 119, AMERICAN HORROR STORY 97, CONTINUUM 93, REVOLUTION 85, FALLING SKIES 63, WITCHES OF EAST END 58, UNDER THE DOME 57, DEFIANCE 49 The Best Sci-Fi or Fantasy Actor category has generally belonged to Supernatural star Jensen Ackles (2012 Norman Reedus of The Walkign Dead being the only 1 to topple his reign). This year he looks poised for another victory barring another Norman Reedus tweet style like in 2012 from 1 of the challengers. This year, the main challenger appears to be rookie sci-fi or fantasy drama star Grant Gustin from The Flash. With only 7 of last years 12 finalists back this year in the finals (although the entire top 6 is back), there is some new blood. Led of course by semi-finals runner up Grant Gustin, 4th place Clark Gregg of Agents Of SHIELD who was a semi-finalist last year, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from Game Of Thrones who seemingly replaced Kit Harington as the GoT 2nd challengers this year to Peter Dinklage. Another newcomer, Peter Capaldi from Doctor Who also makes it, and finally Colin O'Donoghue, a semi-finalist last year makes the finals this year. Last years runner up, Eric Balfour from haven is back, as are Peter Dinklage, Robert Carlyle & Misha Collins. Dinklage managed to place 3rd, but the other 2 barely scraped into the finals, in 10th & 11th, just ahead of the 2012 winner Reedus who slipped into the final spot by a mere 9 votes. The Sci-Fi or Fantasy Actress category will more than likely have a new Winner this year. Last years winner Zoie Palmer is ineligible for the category this year because of the schedule that her show Lost Girl had this season. The 2012 winner Jennifer Morrison from Once Upon A Time is in the finals, but came in 5th, and was 2nd from her own show behind Lana Parrilla, and along with Ginnifer Goodwin makes 3 finalists for her show, and likely will cause a vote split to water down her chances of reclaiming the title. Tatiana Maslany from orphan Black comes in as the odds on favorite after her opening round 3rd place standing, she managed to win the semi-final vote. A 1st time finalist Lena Headey from Game Of Thrones finished 2nd in the semi-final vote ahead of another 1st time finalist Ming-Na Wen for Agents Of SHIELD. Last years runner up Emilia Clarke from Game Of Thrones came in 7th, while last years 3rd place finalist Emily Rose of Haven came in 4th. Agents Of SHIELD nabbed 2 other finalist spots with Chloe Bennet & Elizabeth Henstridge, giving them as many finalists as Once Upon A Time. Melissa McBride of The Walking Dead and Jenna Coleman from Doctor Who tied for the last 2 spots. Notable ommisions this year are Rachel Nichols from Continuum who finished 6th last year, Emilie de Ravin from Once Upon A Time who finished 8th & Lexa Doig from Continuum who finished 10th. All who made the semi-finals, but missed making the finals by varying margins. The Sci-Fi or Fantasy program category looks like it could be a battle for Supernatural to try & take its 4th title in the category. The semi-final vote went to Game Of Thrones with 336, a bit behind them was Supernatural still well in the mix at 308. Once Upon A Time managed a 3rd place showing. Last years runner up Lost Girl limped in at 9th, while the 3rd place finalist last year Doctor Who was 5th. Newcomers to the finals this year include Agents Of SHIELD in 4th, Orphan Black in 7th & The Vampire Diaries re-entering the finals for the 1st time since 2010 when it was entered as a Drama before the guidelines of the categories were more solidified, snuck in at 10th place. Only absentees from last year were the now retired Fringe, and Continuum. The Finals for these categories will take place in January 2015 HERE The 2014 Best Of TV Awards Semi-Finals are now Closed. 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.

A series of run off polls took place, with results set to give those who had the best results in the 1st round of polls the best chance at a spot in the run off votes, while still giving those who didnt do as well in the 1st round of polls a chance still at a spot in the tournament. 15 shows have more than 1 challenger, with Supernatural having 7 & Once Upon A Time having 4. 23 spots are taken by characters that are on shows which have ended, or are currently in limbo. Soon, 32 of these names will be eliminated. Voting has begun, the first group of 8 match ups in TV Shows, and TV characters are here http://canadagraphs.weebly.com/tv-showdowns---show-vs-show-character-vs-character-battle.html for you to vote on. Below are the results from the voting on the nominees that decided the challengers in this tournament that did not get automatic spots (automatic spots were given to all BOTVA award winners & former May Madness winners)  The Best Actress in an Sci-Fi or Fantasy series of 2012 as voted by you the fans was.. JENNIFER MORRISON "ONCE UPON A TIME". Winning this award is finally a redemption for Ms. Morrison. She has been a finalist for 4 previous awards (sexiest actress 2012, Favorite character, Supporting actress & best drama/action actress 2011) with 2 runner ups & no awards. Her role as the nomadic bounty hunter turned saviour of fairie tale characters has put her back on the map after leaving "House". The 2010 Best Actress winner, the FBI agent turned enemy of the futuristic overlords of earth, Anna Torv from "Fringe" finished 2nd in the final season of the show. In 3rd was another "Once Upon A Time" actress Lana Parrilla as the evil queen/mayor of Storybrooke. 4th thru 6th were all from "Lost Girl" and I had assumed Zoie Palmer would probably win this award... but with an influx of new voters, mainly from The Walking Dead & Castle, changing the results of categories they werent even in, the 3 girls from Lost Girl. Anna Silk & Ksenia Solo round out the finalists. Jennifer Morrison beat runner up Anna Torv by 212 votes, back in 3rd was Lana Parrilla 62 votes behind the runner up & 408 votes ahead of 4th place Zoie Palmer. In 5th was Anna Silk 138 votes behind 4th & 106 ahead of Ksenia Solo, the 6th place finalist. Jennifer Morrison takes tha vacated title that was previously held by Erica Durance from Smallville. Before the actress category was split into 3 categories, the 2010 "Best actress" winner, Anna Torv has since finished runner up in the 2 years since. All of the finalists, with the exception of Zoie Palmer, were up for a best actress award last year, Morrison & Parrilla for drama/action, and Solo, Silk & Torv for sci-fi. Final vote totals Jennifer Morrison "Once Upon A Time" 1338 Anna Torv "Fringe" 1126 Lana Parrilla "Once Upon A Time" 1064 Zoie Palmer "Lost Girl" 656 Anna Silk "Lost Girl" 518 Ksenia Solo "Lost Girl" 412  |
