List of soap long list nominees in link below

http://www.nationaltvawards.com/vote/

So pleased to see that Hollyoaks have actually put forward some good talent for awards. Was expecting Vincent to appear in Best Newcomer so pleasantly surprised to see Sienna.
Cindy, Darren and Nancy all up for Serial Drama Performance was a total shock! I expected Will, Dodger and Mercedes to be there as they often feature in these sorts of votes but the other 3 are so often, unfairly, overlooked.
Also Kat and Max for Eastenders are predictable but surprised at some of the others as they seem over-looked usually too.
Actually, all 4 soaps appear to have put some deserving actors forward instead of the usual supposed fan-favourites.
Quite looking forward to see who will make the shortlist.

voted for suranne jones, ant &dec, pointless, snt, holby city, steve mcf, suzanne packer (tess - casualty) , amanda handerson (robyn-casualty)

Dexter for best newcomer? LOL

Rather him than Joey:yawn:

Nearly voted for Carol before I saw Ian Beale was nominated For the first time, it seems that they are NOT taking their longest serving character for granted (which I always thought)- now that he's had good stories, his family is being rebuilt and he is being nominated for awards (he was up for best performance at the last NTA's- he lost but Witts won his category! Can't believe he beat Adam Woodyatt at winning an award)

It wasnt a different category - david didnt "beat" adam lol

My votes-

Drama - Holby City (Casualty has been quite shocking this year storyline wise).

Detective - David Tennant in Broadchurch.

Drama performance - Sunetra Sarker in Casualty.

Factual entertainment - Top Gear.

Entertainment programme - The Cube

Serial drama performance - Zoe Henry in Emmerdale (for the drug storyline alone).

Newcomer - Rob Ostlere in Holby City.

Serial drama - Emmerdale

Daytime - The Chase

Talent show - Britain's Got Talent.

I hope Julie Hesmondhaugh and David Nielson get recognised.

The newcomer category is pretty poor. EE should have nommed Kierston Wareing (Kirsty) or Ben Hardy (Peter).

Ditto Corrie who could've picked Katie Mc Glynn (Sinead) or Joe Duttine (Tim).


In fairness he did well to get shortlisted, he was the only one from EastEnders to do so and it's a very tough category, His lack of noms at the BSA's was baffling. He should've been up for best actor and dramatic performance instead of Jo who had won it the previous year. At least the ceremony itself recognised him.

I'll be voting for Jessie because I think she's been great since the shagger reveal. Surprised to see Diane nommed when Jacqueline, Danielle and Steve John Shepherd have all had better material to work with.

I hope Emmerdale win best soap, they deserve some recognition.

All done, and Corrie has to be the best serial drama obviously!

I voted:
Best Talent Show: The Voice UK, although I love Dancing On Ice and X-Factor
Best Serial Drama: Emmerdale
Best Newcomer: Emmerdale's Vanessa
Best Serial Performer: Ian Beale, EastEnders
Best Presenter: Holly Willoughby
Best Daytime: The Chase

I really want Emmerdale to win Best Soap!

Voted, but I've forgotten within a minute who I voted for.

I voted hollyoaks for best soap, bit of a waste really wasn't it? Should of voted emmerdale which has been just as good but would have more of a chance of winning than hollyoaks.

Anyone but eastenders

I clicked on the website given, voted for the first category (talent shows) then nothing happened. Am I doing something wrong?

Make sure you click ok afterwards. The website is very slow though.

Lindsey Coulson has just been a background character this year so far which is ashame as she is a fantastic actress.

I think Sienna deserves to win the 'best newcomer award'. Although Dexter will probably win it, due to the amount of Eastenders who vote for Eastenders in every category.

Thankyou, luckylocket88; I will try again.

I think Hollyoaks really deserve an award or two this year as it has been really good (although a little OTT at times). I think definitely Best Newcomer for Anna Passey as every time she is on screen, I want to punch her.

I think Emmerdale will win something

Drama - Luther

Detective - Idris Elba/Luther.

Drama performance - Maxine Peake/The Village.

Factual entertainment - The Apprentice.

Entertainment Presenter - Davina Mc Call.

Entertainment programme - I'm A Celebrity.

Comedy - Mrs. Brown's Boys

Serial drama performance - Jessie Wallace (EE)

Newcomer - Michelle Hardwick (ED).

Serial drama - Emmerdale

Documentary - Africa

Daytime - Doctors

Talent show - Strictly Come Dancing

Ok didn't beat him. But lets be honest: Adam is a great actor and didn't win. David is a terrible newcomer and did.
