Photo credit - CBS The 2015 Best Of TV Awards Winner for Best Couple Samantha Groves/Root & Sameen Shaw (Amy Acker & Sarah Shahi) "Person Of Interest". This years Best Couple winner is technically not even a couple.... but met the categories dynamics (something a specific fan base in the opening round had trouble understanding). Samantha Groves, aka Root and another member of Team Machine Sameen Shaw won the Best Couple based off the 1 kiss they shared last year in episode 411 after a lot of suggestions from Root that they should be together, which till that moment Shaw had ignored. While the deranged "couple" still havent found each other since then, the fans of the couple known as "Shoot" (reasonably named considering the duos penchant for guns & just happens to be a combination of Shaw & Root) havent stopped hoping. In 2nd was last years super couple, the 2014 BOTVA winners Oliver Queen & Felicity Smoak "Arrow". The popularity of this couple, known as Olicity with a select part of the shows fandom is not in dispute. In 3rd was the 2012 Winners Richard Castle & Kate Beckett "Castle", known as Caskett by their fans. In 4th was Robin Hood & Regina Mills "Once Upon A Time" in their 1st ever finals in this category known as Outlaw Queen with their fandom. Clarke Griffin & Lexa The Commander "The 100" in their 1st ever finals in this category Clexa as they are known by the fans finished 5th. 6th place found the 2011 & 2013 Winners Bo Dennis & Lauren Lewis "Lost Girl" in their 5th consecutive finals. Doccubus had never finished worse than 2nd prior to this year. In 7th was Barry Allen & Iris West "The Flash" known as WestAllen by the fans. This is the 2nd finals in a row for Barry Allen, who made it last year with Felicity Smoak, while Iris West is here for the 1st time. Another "Once Upon A Time" couple in 8th as Captain Hook & Emma Swan. "Captain Swan" finished 4th last year. In 9th is the on again off again couple of Steve McGarrett & Catherine Rollins "Hawaii Five-0" down 1 spot from where McRoll finished last year. 10th was Sheldon Cooper & Amy Farrah Fowler "The Big Bang Theory" The couple known as ShAmy were finalists in 2012 & 2013, but missed last years finals. Prince Charming & Snow White "Once Upon A Time" were back for a 3rd time. Snowing made the finals prior in 2011 and 2013. Thea Queen & Roy Harper "Arrow" made the finals for a 2nd consecutive year. Sam Swarek & Andy McNally "Rookie Blue" known as McSwarek by the fans made the finals for the 1st time. Santana Lopez and Brittany Pierce "Glee" known as Brittana to the fans, made the finals in the shows last year of eligibility. Voting for this award saw 4 different leaders over the 1st two days. Clexa, Caskett, Olicity and Shoot all had the lead at different times. Eventually Shoot pulled away in the final couple days. This is the 2nd award (Sexiest Actress) of these BOTVAs for Amy Acker (the actress who plays Root) and 3rd honour (2015 May Madness winner as well). This is the 1st award for Sarah Shahi (actress who plays Shaw).

Second and third were newcomers to the finals The 100 and Person of Interest. Other newcomers to the finals that were not there last year include How To Get Away With Murder, Daredevil, iZombie & Greys Anatomy. Not making the finals this year who were there last were Castle, Sherlock, Murdoch Mysteries, Doctor Who, The Flash, The Big Bang Theory. The Favorite TV Character Category is always possibly one of the most sought titles here. This year seems to be no different as 3 finalists got over the 1000 vote mark and another was close. Defending champion Felicity Smoak from "Arrow" finds herself fending off challenges from three "Person Of Interest" challengers (would have been more if it werent for the new rule about a maximum of 3 candidates in a category from any show). Root, aka - Samantha Groves (the 2015 May Madness character winner) led voting barely over her co-star Sameen Shaw. Harold Finch, another POI character finished 4th not far behind. Only 4 people left from the first ever Favorite Character Finals that are eligible, and all 4 of them, for a 4th consecutive year still find themselves in the finals. 3 time winner Dean Winchester, along with his co-star Castiel from "Supernatural", as well as Bo Dennis "Lost Girl" and Richard Castle "Castle" all managed spots in the finals again. With the list expanding from 40 to 55 names this year, there was a lot of newcomers to the finals. Most notably Sameen Shaw in 2nd & Harold Finch in 4th from Person Of Interest. John Diggle from Arrow in 10th is in the finals, at the expense of 3 Arrow characters that made last years finals when there was no cap on finalists from a show. Several shows have finalists who either were not even around last year, or had never managed a finalist prior to now. The 100 with 3, iZombie, Rookie Blue, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt all with 2 each, Agent Carter, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Daredevil, How To Get Away With Murder with 1 each. Missing from the finals this year however from last years list is last years runner up Kenzi from "Lost Girl" probably due to her lack of screen time this year. Sara Lance/Canary from Arrow also missed out due to the maximum candidates rule. Both candidates from the Murdoch Mysteries, William Murdoch & Julie Ogden fell well short in the semi-finals this year, with Ogden finishing last. Sherlock Holmes & John Watson from "Sherlock" of course missed this years due to the shows hiatus. The Best Couple Category is another hotly contested award here every year. For such a pointless award compared to more respectable titles it does garner a lot of very crazy and some very passionate fans. This year has been mired in controversy of course, again, as it is almost every year. But again the "Arrow" combo of Oliver Queen & his now fiance Felicity Smoak (aka "Olicity") led the semi-final voting over the very unstable sort of couple of Root & Shaw (aka "Shoot") from "Person of Interest". Clarke & Lexa (Clexa) from "The 100" were a bit further behind in 3rd. The top 4 finalists from last year all find themselves back in the finals again. Along with Olicity, Castle & Beckett "Caskett", Bo & Lauren "Docubbus" & Emma & Hook "CaptainSwan" all made the finals again. Missing the finals this year are Kenzi & Hale from Lost Girl due to 1 or both characters not being on the show anymore. Kurt Hummel & Blaine Anderson from "Glee" who seemingly were replaced by another Glee couple it seems. Damon & Elena from "The Vampire Diaries" which was a mild shock to me, but with 1 of the leads having left the show I guess it was out of sight, out of mind for their fans. Barry Allen & Felicity Smoak, yet both characters find themselves in the finals. Besides Shoot & Clexa, there were a few other new additions. barry Allen & Iris West (WestAllen) "The Flash", Robin Hood & Regina Mills (OutlawQueen) "Once Upon A Time" Santana Lopez & Brittany Pierce "Glee". After missing last years finals by 5 votes Amy Farrah Fowler & Sheldon Cooper "ShAmy" from "The Big Bang Theory" find themselves back in after 1 year out of the finals, along with Snow White & Prince Charming from "Once Upon A Time" who also were in 2013 but missed out in 2014. With all 3 former champions in this category, along with a couple new serious contenders, I expect a lot of fanbases ahrd at work trying to push their choices to the top in the finals. On that note, it should be noted that ONE finalist (and 2 others...but on lesser scales) had more than 1 person attempt to purposely cheat in the semi-finals, logging in 1000s of votes by circumventing the IP rule.... but, as those from past years are aware... thats not the only line of defense I use to stop this. Those votes were all discared and ONLY votes for that candidate from other voters were counted. Attempts like that in the finals wont be handled so delicately. 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.. Voting, and a complete list of nominees in all categories can be found HERE The Best Director category in only its 2nd year & so far its been almost all Supernatural running away with it. Winning last years & runner up, they look poised to try & do that again this year with 4 finalists. Philip Sgriccia "Sacrifice" (Supernatural) led with 137 votes, just 9 ahead of last years runner up, back for another crack at it with 2 finalists Guy Norman Bee "Devil May Care" at 128 votes & "Taxi Driver" (Supernatural) in 4th with 113. Sandwiched in between the pair of finalists from Bee is Jeannot Szwarc "LARP And The Real Girl" (Supernatural) at 123 votes. Rounding out the top 5 is a non-SPN challenger John Fawcett "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" (Orphan Black) Other finalists are - David Barrett "Sacrifice" (Arrow), Joel Wyman "An Enemy Of Fate" (Fringe), Brad Falchuk "The Quarterback" (Glee) & Shawn Piller "Fallout" (Haven). Missing the finals - Ron Underwood "Things We Said Today" (Grey's Anatomy) was 24 votes back & Pamela Fryman "Something New" (How I Met Your Mother) was 25 votes back. The Best Couple category is again looking like it will be "Lost Girl" VS the rest. The 2011 winners & 2012 runner-ups are again coming out swinging in the early rounds. The 1st ever same sex couple to get nominated in the awards, Bo & Dr. Lauren Lewis "Lost Girl" grabbed 871 votes in round 2, more than the next 3 combined. Well back in 2nd was Rumplestiltskins Storybrooke alias Mr. Gold & Belle from "Once Upon A Time" at 334, the 2012 champs crime fighting duo Richard Castle & Kate Beckett from "Castle" were 3rd with 260. In 4th was easily the most awkward couple on TV Dr. Sheldon Cooper & Amy Farrah Fowler of "The Big Bang Theory". Rounding out the top 5 are the real lie soon to be parents TV characters Prince Charming & Snow White from "Once Upon A Time". The other finalists will be Peter Bishop & Olivia Dunham "Fringe", Penny & Dr. Leonard Hofstadter "The Big Bang Theory", Damon Salvatore & Elena Gilbert "The Vampire Diaries", Shawn Spencer & Juliet O'Hara "Psych", Kurt Hummel & Blaine Anderson "Glee" & Lily Aldrin & Marshall Eriksen "How I Met Your Mother" Missing the finals was another HIMYM couple Robin & Barney by 7 votes & Oliver & Laurel from "Arrow" by 16 The finals will start January 5 , 2014 HERE  Dean Winchester, Crowley, Meg, Bobby Singer, Eve, Sam Winchester, Castiel (Supernatural) Emma Swan, Rumplestiltskin, Captain Hook, Snow White (Once Upon A Time) Dr. Spencer Reid, Penelope Garcia, Derek Morgan (Criminal Minds) Olivia Dunham, Peter Bishop, Dr. Walter Bishop (Fringe) Dr. Lauren Lewis, Bo, Kenzi (Lost Girl) Carlton Lassiter, Shawn Spencer, Burton Guster (Psych) Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, Clark Kent (Smallville) Dr. Sheldon Cooper, Penny, Amy Farrah Fowler (The Big Bang Theory) Oliver Queen, Felicity Smoak (Arrow) Richard Castle, Kate Beckett (Castle) Georgia Lass, Mason (Dead Like Me) Malcom "Mal" Reynolds, River Tam (Firefly) Tyrion Lannister, Arya Stark (Game Of Thrones) Barney Stinson, Robin Scherbatsky (How I Met Your Mother) Fox Mulder, Dana Scully (The X-Files) Max Black (2 Broke Girls) Gob Bluth (Arrested Develpment) Abed Nadir (Community) Gil Grissom (CSI) Pacey Witter (Dawsons Creek) The Doctor (Doctor Who) Sherlock Holmes (Elementary) Alex P.

The Best Couple of 2012 as voted by you the fans was.. RICHARD CASTLE & KATE BECKETT "Castle" . This poll was basically 2 different polls in 1. The 1st couple days, it was all Lost Girl couple of Bo & Dr. Lauren Lewis, as they had almost as many votes as the 2nd, 3rd & 4th challengers combined for awhile. The last couple days was all about Castle. In the end, the Lost Girl fanbase just was not large enough to hold on. Personally, I see the Caskett win as a bit underwhelming. I for a long time wanted this couple to get together...but when they finally did, I just didnt feel like it was all that special. The will they or wont they was answered, and it lead to pretty underwhelming results in my opinion...however, Castle fans disagreed with me & voted them in as best couple on the 1st year they were officially eligible. "Castkett" beat runner ups Bo & Lauren by a slim 58 votes. 3rd, Fringe couple Peter Bishop & Olivia Dunham "Polivia" was a distant 280 votes back, and 94 votes ahead of 4th place "Shamy" The Big Bang Theory couple of Dr. Sheldon Cooper & Amy Farrah Fowler. The finalists were rounded out by Psych couple Shawn Spencer & Juliet O'Hara "Shules" 47 behind 4th. Caskett knocked off the defending champs from Lost Girl. With the deletion of the couple from Smallville, these were the same top 3 finalists as last year, For the 2nd year in a row, the best couple winners actors were an all Canadian pair (Katic - Hamilton, ON. Fillion - Edmonton, AB) Final vote totals Richard Castle & Kate Beckett (Caskett) "Castle" 597 Bo & Dr. Lauren Lewis "Lost Girl" 539 Peter Bishop & Olivia Dunham (POlivia) "Fringe" 259 Dr. Sheldon Cooper & Amy Farrah Fowler (ShAmy) "The Big Bang Theory" 165 Shawn Spencer & Juliet O'Hara (Shules) "Psych" 118
