The 2015 Best Of TV Awards Winner for Best Comedy Actor is Chris Colfer "Glee". Chris Colfer "Glee" regains his Best Comedy Actor title that he relinquished last year to this years runner up & 2X winner (2012, 2014) Jim Parsons "The Big Bang Theory". Since the unexpected death of the shows lead male, Cory Monteith, a couple years ago, Colfer has stepped up into the lead role and grown his fan base substantially portraying the fashionable Kurt Hummel on the show. This years 1-2 finish of Colfer and Parsons ends a 3 year run of the pair finishing 1-2 in this category as Glee will not be eligible for next years awards. Darren Criss "Glee" finished 3rd in this final year of eligibility on the show. Timothy Omundson "Galavant" was 4th and Chris Pratt "Parks And Recreation" was 5th. Andy Samberg "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" was 6th. William H Macy "Shameless" was 7th by 1 vote over Tituss Burgess "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" in 8th.

THE BIG BANG THEORY 79 GLEE 52 HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER 52 PSYCH 41 2 BROKE GIRLS 36 BROOKLYN NINE-NINE 27 MODERN FAMILY 26 THE GOLDBERGS 20, COMMUNITY 17, PARKS AND RECREATION 17, NEW GIRL 16 Three consecutive years there has been a different winner for the Best Comedy Actor award. Neil Patrick harris of How I Met Your Mother winning the inagural title, Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory winning in 2012, Chris Colfer of Glee winning last years. This year, they go into the finals as the top 3 vote getters in the semi-finals with last years winner Colfer finishing with a massive lead. The likelyhood that this years winner will not be a former winner is pretty unlikely as 4th & 5th are both from shows that the top 3 are from, and finished well back. Perrenial 1st round powerhouse Timothy Omundson, in his characters swan song will take 1 last crack to win, but odds are steep as his co-star James Roday from Psych also made the finals, which will split the limited vote pootl of this show probably. Every finalist from last year is back this year except the late Cory Monteith from Glee. Andy Samberg of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is the only newcomer to the category finals. The Comedy Actress award looks poised to he another Big Bang Theory showdown with the only winners in the shows history. 2 Time winner Kaley Cuoco looks to defend her 2013 award against her co-star 2012 winner Mayim Bialik. Last years 3rd place finalist Alyson Hannigan from How I Met Your Mother, in her final run at the honour, again looks poised for a 3rd place finish if the semi-finals are an indication. 7 of the 10 finalists last year are back, only Zooey Deschanel, Alison Brie & Cobie Smulders are not back. Orange Is The New Black actresses Uzo Aduba & Taylor Schilling find themselves in the finals, along with Sofia Vergara from Modern Family for her 1st time and Amy Poehler of Parks & Recreation. The Comedy Program looks poised to stay in the hands of The Big Bang Theory. The only show to win ever Best Show category it is eligible for since the invention of these awards has the inside track on winning a 5th straight with continual contenders Glee & How I Met Your Mother making up the best chance at an upset. Psych in its final run will also take 1 last crack at the title in its 4th & final finals. Only newcomer to the mix this year is Brooklyn Nine-Nine, a semi-finalists in the New Progrma category 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 Best Comedy Actor is Chris Colfer "Glee".
