Television Awards 2020

Mr E

The first batch are up for nominations now.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I've watched very little current day TV shows this year, so it'll be interesting to see if I can come up with many nominations...

Mr E

Bump for the morning crowd.

My main, first world problem, is remembering what I watched, when I watched it - and whether half of the programs were 2019-2020 releases.

Does remind of some gems I watched but had kinda forgotten of - mostly thinking of that excellent Dark Crystal prequel, or Watchmen.

JP Liz V1

Is the Deadwood movie allowed?

Mr E

@JP Liz - don't see why not. For what category? I've locked the threads but I'll add it in.

Mr E

Second batch up now guys.

Best Soap Opera
Best Drama
Best Actor
Best New Character
Best Home Produced Show

Vote early, vote often.

I've been told by Important Sources that boards.ie polling accounts for 80% of future scheduling strategies for TV networks. It's true.

Unearthly

Succession looks like an early favourite to sweep a lot of the awards

Mr E

Last 36 hours for the second group. The third group goes up tomorrow evening.

Mr E

Last group up, guys. Voting next week...

Mr E

I'm going to close these threads tonight, folks. Last chance to get your noms in.

Mr E

Hi all, the survey is ready to go.

Remember all questions are optional so skip questions that you don't have an opinion on.

https://bit.ly/3et6dyz

It closes at midnight on Sunday night and I'll make the results available on Monday morning.

(Thanks very much to the people who nominated shows like The Wire and Breaking Bad - very helpful)

ixoy

Is it worth clarifying that for 'Best Finale' for 'Dark' you mean S2 and not S3 (as S3 is outside the eligible timeline)?

Mr E

Thanks ixoy I haven't watched that show. Cheers, updated.

Mr E

Takeup for this survey is slow, guys. Please vote.

How many people remembered shows they watched after the fact of voting? Just remember now "His Dark Materials" aired in the year period we're talking about (I think?). It wasn't any of the best for me but at the time recall folks quite enthused about it - yet I don't believe anyone voted for it once

Mr E

Same with Hunters. Great show from Amazon a few months ago. Apart from one nomination for Al Pacino, it didn't really factor.

ixoy

Yep. I had to scroll through myepisodes.com TV list but that doesn't account for the fact that I remove shows once they've ended so it's still not comprehensive!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Might I suggest throwing a link in to the Television Awards Forum as well, more people might see it there. Only after spotting this here now myself, but would've seen it yesterday if there was a new post in the TV Awards forum, so perhaps others are more likely to spot it over there too.



:pac::D;)

Mr E

Results! Thanks to everyone who voted. Lots of ties this year unfortunately.
Hopefully the results here might give you some inspiration on what to watch next.
