*** TV Awards 2018 *** RESULTS! ***

Mr E

Morning all, it's time for our annual TV awards.

The first group of categories are now open for nominations. Instructions can be found on each thread.

The next batch of categories will go up around the weekend.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Whoop! TV Awards Time - the most wonderful time of the year. I always manage to get some great recommendations for new shows to start watching just be seeing what gets nominated.

Get those nominations in - your favourites can't win it, if they're not in it!

Mr E

I'm going to close these categories and add the second batch before I leave work tomorrow.
You have until 5pm tomorrow to nominate for the current categories.

Hmmm, been thinking about Nathan For You, which I've already nominated for Best Comedy and Most Underrated Show, and have it in mind for some of the Stage 2 categories, but would anyone else familiar with the show, also class it as a Reality Series and/or a Documentary Series, as technically it is both, or would that be going a push too far?

If you're not familiar with the show, seriously go watch it, it's amazing.

Mr E

Next batch up now.

Is this the final batch or is there a 3rd lot to come?

Mr E

One more later this week.

Mr E

Third batch going up later tonight.

Get your nominations in for the 2nd group now - last chance.

Mr E

Last batch is up....

Mr E

Last few hours for this batch.

Can I suggest Best Foreign-Language category for next year? We've got some strong output recently and it's getting greater recognition through the likes of Netflix. Shows such as: Gomorrah, Dark, Narcos, Occupied, Money Heist, Fauda, etc. Give them a chance to get some recognition as they get lost in the bigger Drama categories, etc.

Mr E

Sure! I'll throw one up there now, hopefully there are a few nominees there by the morning.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Great suggestion ixoy. I have so many on my must watch list that I just haven't had the time to get around to, but some of my favourite shows at the moment are Foreign Language, so great to see it get its own category. Thanks Mr E!

Mr E

Voting link below, guys... best of luck!

Survey closes next Monday and results will be published by the end of the day.

Mr E

Just a few days left....

Mr E

Last few hours. Survey closing at 6 today....

Mr E

Results are in! I think participation has been disappointing this year, maybe the weather is a factor.
As a result, there are a few ties for winners.

Terrific work, as always, Mr E!

Always interesting to see what people have rated highly, as someone who tends to get into shows late these results always give me a steer as to what's worth a look.

Forgot about these, sorry, great work Mr E

I do agree that Patrick Melrose was good, with Benny Cumberbatch in top form
