This set of categories dealt with Best actor in comedy, sci-fi/fantasy, or action/drama, as well as Supporting actor. FINALISTS are in BOLD text. The Best Comedy actor category this year has had an unexpected challenger.... "Psych" star Timothy Omundson has taken the lead in both rounds of voting. Last years runner up "The Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons has been 2nd in both rounds. The 2011 winner Neil Patrick harris from "How I Met Your Mother" has been 3rd in both rounds. Cory Monteith from "Glee" nabbed 4th, while Danny Pudi of "Community" takes the final spot.

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. Results for Best Sci-fi or Fantasy actor Semi-finals voting Jensen Ackles "Supernatural" 679 Jared Padalecki "Supernatural" 311 Misha Collins "Supernatural" 171 John Noble "Fringe" 159 Norman Reedus "The Walking Dead" 158 Gale Harold "The Secret Circle" 152 Joshua Jackson "Fringe" 145 Andrew Lincoln "The Walking Dead" 102 Robert Carlyle "Once Upon A Time" 98 Peter Dinklage "Game Of Thrones" 78 Ian Somerhalder "The Vampire Diaries" 70 Josh Dallas "Once Upon A Time" 68 Michael Kopsa "Fringe" 61 Seth Gabel "Fringe" 59 Best action/drama actor category looked like it might be a Person Of Interest uncontested sweep after the nomination round, but the semi-finals saw a different leader. "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. Results for Best Supporting Actor Semi-finals voting Mark Sheppard "Supernatural" 259 Ty Olsson "Supernatural" 147 Jim Beaver "Supernatural" 143 Osric Chau "Supernatural" 106 Michael Cerveris "Fringe" 83 Ray Stevenson "Dexter" 82 Jared Harris "Fringe" 82 Kurt Fuller "Psych" 68 Wil Wheaton "Eureka" 39 Shaun Smyth "Fringe" 21 The Best Guest star finals appear to be a Supernatural vs Fringe battle as 5 of the 6 finalists come form those 2 shows. 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.
