It was more a question of whether the NTAs usually do a memoriam section at all. I thought that they had done a general one in the past.
Yes they did. They also had some much more deserving nominations for categories such as 'Best Factual' back in the day such as the news coverage on the 9/11 attacks rather than Googlebox...Michael Buerk looked embarrassed to be there!!
Obviously Anne Kirkbride didn't mean much to Natalie Gumede. Despite tweeting about her passing. She couldn't of looked happier doing her dance towards the microphone. I'm sure the Corrie team weren't impressed!
They won't give a damn as long the ratings are high. The theories are hilarious though.
Yes, because it's not like personal prejudices are colouring certain opinions ... Oh, wait ..
To claim that Strictly is losing votes at the NTAs because of Darcy/Len/Tess/Claudia and the incredibly tiresome 'Pixiewozrobbed' mantra is quite amusing at first.
The NTAs are probably voted for increasingly by the younger audience (as evidenced by some of the weird, rather undeserving choices for the awards'. The 'yoof' element is the one most channels try to cater for (forgetting that the biggest viewing FIGURES are probably the older audience - who couldn't give a toss about the NTAs and therefore don't vote.
I realise this is only a theory as well. But at least it's rooted in logic and doesn't ignore the facts ...
Nice tribute to Anne Kirkbride, though. Very sad she died so relatively young. But death is no respected of age or indeed anything else.
Pretty predictable set of results, one thing though why is Walking Dead and GOT in the same category as Celebrity Juice and Geordie Shore? They deserve better than that.
How about a Best International Series category for these and the likes of Fargo and Homeland?

I did not watch this programme too much good stuff on but hearing about the results on the radio this A.M. i presume voting was only open to under 5s or Sun readers
Not really. Other than giving the audience the feeling that they have some power. The BAFTAs are better representative because the public have no say.
It's still only representative of people who feel driven to vote for anything to do with television.
X Factor beats Strictly yet the official viewing figures showed Strictly winning by a huge margin.
Many, many people watch but don't vote - so for me these awards are not really representative

But these aren't awards for the highest rating programmes.
I understand that more people vote for the winning programmes at the NTAs than are surveyed by Barb for the ratings so it might be argued that this is MORE representative of the viewing public.
I thought it was Kelly Bright that was with Danny, although I will say she has aged considerably and looks quite haggard. I remember her when she was in Me and My Girl with Richard O'Sullivan back in the 80's

Strictly is clearly faltering in that folks would rather vote for something else. Votes that last couple of years went to Strictly went elsewhere. Maybe to BGT or Voice letting XF through for the win. Strictly fans are in denial if they don't realise that new presenting team is a problem.
Worst ones won. This Morning is a load of rubbish. Martin Lewis boring money advise, Denise robertson, yawnnn. They never have any big celebs anymore. Just talk about rubbish. The chase or pointless should have won.

But not enough people voted for them or your choice of programmes would have won.
Most of the winners weren't my cup of tea but it's first past the post so it's really not worth complaining about.
the ntas are meant to be the viewers awards whereas the baftas are for those who are involved in tv etc. apart from the audience award both are symptomatic as to the type of people who vote and most of the awards went seemingly to the right places although this morning and x factor winning were different to the way you might think they may have gone. compare the 2 awards and look for commonalities and that will give you a better picture and in terms of category if you had all the categories people ask for the voting process which is as fair as it can be would be an unwieldy process and the show would take ages not the 2.5 hours allowed
These awards are voted for by the viewers. The difference in viewers is the loyal viewers and the casual viewers, the loyal viewers took the time out to vote for the shows they love and that is how the awards are decided. Their voting is not based on ratings.
The Soap Category is interesting in that many viewers are loyal to more than one soap, however, their particular favourite soap can change from time to time depending on the quality and clearly the soap fans this year were team EastEnders, and in my own opinion EastEnders was the superior soap for the last 12 months.
I can not complain with the winners this year as everything i voted for except Game of Thrones and Saturday Night Take Away won and my votes were purely based on what i enjoy the most.
After finding out that Alan Carr won best chat show host,this proves there is absolutely no point to these awards.its a complete and utter farce.not that big a fan of Ross,Norton,mcyntre & O'Grady,but they are light years better than that talentless creep.unbelievable.also,for celebrity juice to win something(let alone be nominated)shows how pathetic these type of awards have become.

I agree
They should be able to be flexible.
Have they ever lost?
and very shouty:o
EE voters
She's not much cop is she ?
He is in character
Great singer though
He's a Blac Country legend.
I disagree. Where was Walliams 30 years ago ?
Where was Plebs ?
You wish has been granted
He won the vote.
Cowell was supposed to win.:p
Ditto
That's a bit unfair.
He's a fine actor
I am guessing that you never saw Duck Patrol.
Agreed
Well done Beale.!!!!!!
But he still made sure that ' His girl' was seen more than the winner.
Conclusions....Don't trust the public.

It is quite a long show but it is entertaining I really enjoyed Pixie Lott and The Proclaimers
Surly it was his 'fan club' that won him that as he is a one trick pony and can only do one voice and one type of acting.
After hearing who won. No!
Eamonn ate them for breakfast?
Probably not.
Though I didnt mind most of the winners though to be honest Michael Parr should have got best newcomer.
Also how did that awful Celebrity Juice win
The ending was a total farce, it does go to show how much ITV are up Cowell's ass.

That wasn't her, that was Joanne Ridley.
