The Best Actor in an Sci-fi Or Fantasy series of 2012 as voted by you the fans was.. NORMAN REEDUS "THE WALKING DEAD". Anyone thats followed my awards from the start probably would have lost their shirts betting on this, as the 8 time Best Of TV Awards winner Jensen Ackles was defeated in his quest to 3-peat as best actor. Instead, Norman Reedus protrayal as the tough as nails survivalist Daryl Dixon on "The Walking Dead" not just bumped off the 2X champ, but crushed him...and all it took was 1 tweet from the man himself. When Mr. Reedus sent out a simple tweet asking his 200K+ twitter followers to vote for him & the show, they responded fast. My site had its highest traffic volume day in recorded history as nearly 12000 unique users viewer my site that day. The previous record was about 5000. With the winner wrapped up in mere hours, Jensen Ackles from "Supernatural" was just playing out the vote to keep 2nd, which he did handily. In the final season of "Fringe" the man who saved the world John Noble nabbed 3rd, ahead of 2 more Supernatural stars Misha Collins & Jared Padalecki. Norman Reedus didnt just win his category, he essentially changed the voting for all 6 categories that were up for voting at that time as fans of The Walking Dead voted on all the categories and essentially swayed some results other than the sci-fi actor & show categories. Norman Reedus beat runner up Jensen Ackles by 3226 votes, back in 3rd was John Noble 783 votes behind the runner up & only 24 votes ahead of 4th place Misha Collins. Rounding out the finalists was Jared Padalecki only 7 votes behind Norman Reedus becomes the 1st person to defeat Jensen Ackles in ANY category. This is the largest victory margain ever in any category. This is also the largest vote total for any actor or actress. Jensen Ackles 1501 votes is the most by any actor/actress finalist to be runner up. Jensen Ackles & John Noble are the only actors to be finalists for an acting award here 3 years in a row.

His castmates Jared Padalecki & Misha Collins round out the top 3, while "Fringe" star John Noble takes 4th & Norman Reedus from "The Walking Dead" squeaks into the final spot by 6 votes ahead of "The Secret Circle" star Gale Harold.

"Hawaii Five-O" star Alex O'Loughlin took the lead spot, ahead of "Castle" star & the 2011 winner, Nathan Fillion. 3rd was the nomination round leader "Person Of Interest" star Jim Caviezel. "Burn Notice" star Bruce Campbell grabbed 4th, as Michael Emerson of "Person Of Interest" rounded out the top 5.

The guidelines I put in place, where the Supporting awards are given to actors who have a minimum 3 & maximumum 7 appearances in the year is vastly different than the major awards "supporting" actor/actress awards. Because of this, I didnt think there woud be too many times where there would be someone up for the award twice, in a row, let alone win it... Best Supporting Actor category was dominated by Supernatural cast members, as they took the top 4 spots. The winner of last years award, Mark Sheppard is headed into the final as the semi-finals leader, besting his other SPN bretheren Ty Olsson, Jim Beaver & Osric Chau. "Fringe" star Michael Cerveris took 5th. I felt compelled to extend this category to 7 because of the SPN dominance "Dexter" baddie Ray Stevenson & "Fringe" baddie Jared Harris tied for the final spot.

With 5 of the 10 semi-finalists it was a near mathematical probability Supernatural would have at least someone in the finals. SPN guest star DJ Qualls leader in both rounds, goes into the finals as the favorite. Another SPN'er was 2nd this round, Felicia Day. Fringe sporadically seen mastermind Leonard Nimoy was 3rd, Supernatural's Mark Pellegrino 4th, Fringe guest star Rebecca Mader nabbed 5th, while Wil Wheaton of The Big Bang Theory in the final couple hours closed a 5 vote gap to tie Mader for the 5th spot.
