Golden Globes, Smolden Globes, that’s what I say… What you really need to know is who won what in the 3rd Annual Geektown Awards, as voted for by you – The lovely Geektowners! :D
We announced a couple of categories last week as a tease, but now we have the full list of all the winners YOU voted for! Some surprises, some not so surprising, but overall I’d say a good reflection of just how good the past 12 months have been in tv, movies and gaming.
Best New TV Show
Nominees: Constantine, Fargo, Gotham, Penny Dreadful, The 100, The Flash, The Strain, True Detective
Bronze: Fargo
Sliver: True Detective
Gold: Gotham
A great selection of shows, but Batman without Batman is proving the most popular with the Geektowners.
Best TV Drama
Nominees: Game of Thrones, Sons of Anarchy, Homeland, Downton Abbey, Peaky Blinders, The Walking Dead, 24: Live Another Day, Hannibal, True Detective, Fargo, House of Card
Bronze: Homeland
Sliver: Hannibal
Joint Gold: Game of Thrones / The Walking Dead
You found it just impossible to pick between the 2 giants of geek tv from last year, so voted both to share the top slot for best drama!
Best TV Dramadey
Nominees: Elementary, Castle, Orange Is the New Black, Sherlock, Suits, Bones, and Girls.
Bronze: Suits
Sliver: Orange Is The New Black

There’s a rule with these votes… If Sherlock is in a category, it’ll win…

Big Bang didn’t just win this category, but crushed the competition in a landslide of a win!

Nominees: Elementary, Castle, Hawaii Five-0, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Bones, Person of Interest, NCIS: LA, How to Get Away with Murder, NCIS, Blue Bloods

It maybe on it’s 15th season, but the original CSI is still the daddy of Procedural Drama!
Best Fantasy & Supernatural Show
Nominees: Game of Thrones, Grimm, The Walking Dead, Penny Dreadful, Da Vinci’s Demons, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals

Re: Doctor Who… Same rule applies as to Sherlock. If it’s in play, it wins!

Bronze: Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

Although i’m disappointed Dragon Age:Inquisition didn’t rank (i think due to it being released so late in the year), Destiny is a fun FPS game.

To be honest, I don’t think we needed to do this category, as it was fairly obvious what would win! Interesting to see Jurassic World take Silver over The Avengers though!
And that’s the lot! Thanks to everyone that voted this year, and I look forward to seeing what 2015 brings! If you have any comments on the winners (or losers) feel free to leave them below! :)
