Your 2009 Amy Awards Nominations

I ALWAYS learn something from the Amy Awards.

Sure some things didn't surprise me. (What you didn't like Dead Denny? You're talking crazy!) But this year I learned that many of you didn't like Renee on "24" (I stand by my claim that she was a great addition to the show and I know some of you agree with me, she received quite a few votes in the best new character category) and that sidekick characters can attract and repel viewers. Walter on "Fringe" and "Sock" on "Reaper" easily made it into the best supporting character categories but they also came dangerously close to being nominated as worst character.

I also learned that you guys are a forgiving bunch. You hated the ending of "Life on Mars" enough to vote it worst plot twist, but still decided it was one of your most missed cancelled shows. And we are clearly going to have to have some sort of throw down over Tim Riggins because you love him as much as I do. (Don't worry, you'll probably win. I'm not known for my upper body strength).

And I don't know if this is more a comment on you guys or the state of television but it is interesting that four out of the five annoying characters were women and all the best new characters were men.

I also listened to what you had to say. You thought Marc and Amanda on "Ugly Betty" had to be nominated together so I did that. And you were desperate for Kara on "America Idol" to be voted most annoying character even though she's a real person so I allowed it. Oh and I did count "Glee" in the best new show category, it just didn't have enough votes to make the cut.

It took me longer than I expected to tabulate the results so my friends at Zap2It haven't had a chance to set up the poll that will allow you to vote yet but it should go live sometime over the weekend. I will send out an announcement via Twitter when the poll goes live and voting will continue until next Sunday, June 21 at 5 p.m. I really apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience. Also when the ballot goes up it will include a "skip this question" option, but I encourage you to make a choice if you can.
