2022 SpoilerTV Awards - Nominations, Part 2




With the regular TV season now over, it is time for the SpoilerTV community to begin our hiatus awards season. Woo hoo! As usual we will start with the SpoilerTV Awards, followed by the Episode Contest and Character Cup and ending with the epic Favorite Show Competition. Previously, we started nominations with comedies and dramas. In the second nominations, we focus on the acting. As you are nominating, please make sure you put the actor’s name, not the character. Also, make sure you also include the TV show. Without both, your nomination cannot be counted.

Please read the rules carefully, as some are different than in stage 1. If you have questions, leave them in the comments below. Also, don’t forget to nominate for part 1 if you have not already.


Part 1 Nominations



The Rules:



1. Nominations will be open until Monday at noon CST. Please only submit this nomination form once or your nominations will be invalid.

2. Only scripted TV shows that are in English or foreign language shows covered by SpoilerTV are eligible.

3. Only TV shows that aired between May 23, 2021 - May 31, 2022 are eligible for all categories except for New Show. The New Show category must begin in or after the fall 2021 TV season.

4. You do NOT have to nominate in each category. You can nominate up to 2 different performers per category but you can only nominate a performer once. So, you cannot nominate a performer twice in one category or in both the drama AND comedy categories. Doing so will void all of your nominations.

5. The show determines whether a performer should be nominated under comedy or drama, not the character. All nominations for a show have to be either comedy or drama. Please do not mix them.

6. Remember, put in the actor’s name (not the character’s) and include the TV show to have a valid nomination.

7. One performer per show per category can make it to the voting stage.

2022 SpoilerTV Awards - Nominations, Part 1




With the regular TV season now over, it is time for the SpoilerTV community to begin our hiatus awards season. Woo hoo! As usual we will start with the SpoilerTV Awards, followed by the Episode Contest and Character Cup and ending with the epic Favorite Show Competition. This is the first of two nomination rounds for the SpoilerTV Awards so look for part 2 to come in about 12 hours. Please read the rules carefully so that your nominations will count. If you have questions, please leave them in the comments below. Talking up your favorites here can help them get to the voting stage as well.



The Rules:



1. Nominations will be open until Monday at noon CST. Please only submit this nomination form once or your nominations will be invalid.

2. Only scripted TV shows that are in English or foreign language shows covered by SpoilerTV are eligible. Network TV is considered anything that airs on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, FOX, and The CW in the United States.

3. Only TV shows that aired between May 23, 2021 - May 31, 2022 are eligible. NEW shows are those that first aired between these dates.

4. You do NOT have to nominate in each category. You can nominate up to 2 different shows per category. If you try to nominate the same show multiple times in one category, all of your nominations will be invalid.

5. Please consider carefully whether the show is a comedy or a drama. In general, comedies are in a half hour format and dramas are in an hour long format, although not always. Do NOT nominate the same show in both the comedy AND drama categories or all of your nominations will be invalid.

6. The top 5 shows (not including ties) nominated in each category will proceed to the voting stage.



Now let the SpoilerTV Summer Competition season begin! Best of luck to all of your favorites.

Quote of the Month - May





A weekly feature highlighting the best quotes on TV as picked by the SpoilerTV team. We'd love to hear your picks too so please sound off in the comments below.



Derry Girls - Folie-lex

1. Sister Michael: "The conflict here has led to so many terrible atrocities...and now we must add your play to that list. Just one message this morning girls, quite an important one: as Jenny's AWFUL PLAY just alluded to a referendum is about to take place, the outcome of which could change the course of history. To those of you who have already turned eighteen I strongly urge you to exercise your right to vote. It's your future. Take it seriously. On the other hand, and I cannot stress this enough, I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in any of your other so called rights. I don't want to hear your thoughts on the workload, or the uniform, or the fact that you have to occasionally do my ironing. Our Lady Emaculate is not a democracy. It is a dictatorship. My house, my rules. Is that understood?"
2. Orla: "I'm glad Jenny's party was so cracker." Erin: "What? " Orla: "I mean she had everything: a magician, firework display, karaoke machine, river dance, wee horse...-" Erin: "Yeah, okay Orla." Orla: "And all it did was make me realize, I'd still rather just be standing here on the walls with you guys." Erin: "Orla..."
3. Erin: "What if we do it, and it was all for nothing? What if we vote ''yes'' and it doesn't even work?" Granda Joe: "And what if it does? What if no one else has to die? What if all this becomes a -- a ghost story you'll tell your wains one day? Hhm? A ghost story they'll hardly believe..."

2. Master Chief: "Coulda knocked me out, handed me over to Halsey. Why didn't you?" Cortana: "Because I was also designed to learn, John. And I have. From you. I believe that what Dr.Halsey wants to eliminate from your species is precisely the thing that makes you special: your humanity. I've watched you fight for yours, and I believe it's a cause that's right."

3. Harper: "No, it's not at all. I just, I-I-I've been thinking, and once this baby is born, I would like to stay with the detectives." Grey: "I figured as much. Nyla, you're an exemplary T.O., but at heart you're a hunter."
