The annual National Television Award nominees have been announced, and you can vote for Merlin, Downton Abbey, Doctor Who, The X-Factor and more!
The National Television Awards honour the best of British television – which encompasses everything from talk shows and reality series to dramas and comedies. It is up to you to vote for your favourites, so see the nomination lists and then go cast your vote!
Note that you can only vote once per email address.
This year’s nominees were announced today, and competition is going to be fierce. We know that our readers will probably pause before they click for some of the categories, as some of our most popular fandoms are going to be battling each other.
Doctor Who has received nominations both for the series as a whole and for its stars Matt Smith and Karen Gillan (who has left the show and will not be able to be nominated again).
Merlin received two nominations for its fifth and final season, both for Best Drama and for Best Drama Actor (Colin Morgan). This will be the show’s final chance to win an NTA award.
