GRcade

First of all I'd like to say thank you to everyone who nominated and voted, without you these awards wouldn't be possible. Special thanks to Monkey Man for letting me run the awards again this year.

These awards covered the 2011/2012 USTV season between the dates September 1st 2011- August 31st 2012. We hold the awards this time of year so close to the emmys so we can laugh at how more deserving our winners were than the supposedly more prestigious and televised award ceremony and having glanced at the winners, so it proved again this year.



As a means to facilitate discussion (and because I'm still writing the winning posts), I'm not going to announce all the awards at once but I will include how many votes each winner got with each reveal. In the event of the tie, I will then declare winner whomever got the most nominations. If there is still a tie, I'll either choose my favourite of the two as winner or just make all of them joint winners.


Now to the awards!

Let's start with the big one, it's

Best Drama:

And the winner is:



Breaking Bad- 41
Game of Thrones- 28
Homeland- 14
Justified- 9
Mad Men- 7


NB: Minus the vote details I created this post as a draft a week ago. If any award was a foregone conclusion it was this one.

Best Comedy:

With Larry David in no hurry to make more Curb, this award was wide open this year. However there could only be one winner.



And that winner is:




Archer- 25
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia- 17
Louie- 16
Parks and Recreation- 15
Community- 12


I didn't even have to rig the awards for Community to get the least amount of votes.

I should really watch Louie.

Seriously call Kenny Loggins, because you're in the DANGER ZONE!

One of my top three shows of the last year. It's amazing.

Moving past the Breaking Bad gimmes, it's

Best Actor in a Comedy:

And Larry David can't win it. The guy who did is:




H. Jon Benjamin (Archer)- 28
Louis CK (Louie)- 20
Rob McElhenney (IASIP)- 12
History's greatest acting robot (Californication)- 10
Matt LeBlanc (Episodes)- 8
Jason Gann (Wilfred)- 1

Unlucky Louie

Did Hank Moody's daughter get 10 votes for comedy?

And how did Ty Burell or whatever he's called get less than 1 vote?? I voted him ffs.

Nah I was paraphrasing Futurama, that was Mulder. And Ty Burrel is nominated for best supporting.

Best Actress in a Drama:



Claire Danes (Homeland)- 37
Glenn Close (Damages)- 12
Anna Torv (Fringe)- 12
Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad)- 7
Juliana Marguilies (The Good Wife)- 4
Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy)- 3
Elizabeth Moss (Mad Men)- 2
Rose Byrne (Damages)-1

One of the rare occasions GRcade agreed with the emmys.

Worthy winners thus far.

Best Supporting Actor in a Drama:

In reflection of the many talented names in this bracket, this award was so close for so long it could have gone either way between the top four names. However in the last couple of votes one man pulled ahead


Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones)- 28
Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad)- 19
Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad)- 18
Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad)- 16
John Noble (Fringe)- 15
Mandy Patinkin (Homeland)- 3
Walton Goggins (Justified)- 2

I don't know who that is, but Ty Burrell should've won.

What a Dean-saster.

Ty Burrell's great. Nick Offerman is so much better. Go and watch Parks and Rec

I think Ty Burrell did better last year in the awards. He was up against JB Smoove though so he had no chance.

Best Supporting Actress in a Drama:



Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones)- 21
Laura Fraser (Breaking Bad)- 20
Lena Headey (Game of Thrones)- 18
Christina Hendricks (Mad Men)- 18
Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones)- 8
Natalie Zea (Justified)- 7
Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife)- 4
