User blog:Webly/Webly's First Annual TV Awards 2014

As mostly everyone knows by now, I love television. I watch like every show on television. And, I'm really obsessed with the Emmy Awards (the nominations are announced tomorrow). So, it's fitting that I do my own award show because the Emmy's always snub really great actors. Here are my nominations:

Notes: - Some categories have 7 nominations because I had such a hard time narrowing down the potential nominations. The Emmy Awards also have a few categories with 7 nominations every year. - Each category will have 1 winner. I will judge each category the same way the Emmy Awards judge each category. Anyone else is able to participate too! (but some shows are TV-MA) - I didn't include an animated program category because I don't watch enough animated shows. I only watch like 4.
