FrenEmmy Awards: Best Drama Series
Welcome to the first-ever FrenEmmys!
As previously explained, these TV Fanatic-sponsored awards are an answer to the Emmys, which once again snubbed many reader favorites when announcing its nominations last week.
So who needs stuffy executives that clearly only watch a handful of programs each year and typically recognize the same actors, actresses and shows over and over and over?
Let's do this ourselves!
The only rule of The FrenEmmys? Nominees for each category must have NO previous Emmy experience in that category. This is an online ceremony meant to give the underdog a chance.
Got it? Good. Based on reader suggestions and a few heated TV Fanatic staff meetings, the following shows are up for Best Drama Series. Vote now and return throughout the week for many more categories:

Facebook doesn't prove anything, most people over 25 that do have a facebook account don't update it, also if you go higher, like over 35, they are less and less facebook accouts. Not to mention that I know for a fact that people under 25 tend to have several accounts on FB.
So yeah, there are 13 million unique teenagers and young adults on fb who like TVD! (Me included)
Even if TVD is the best show on the CW, it still remains a CW show, and the major drama going on in TVD is a love triangle.
it still doesn't compare to the major arc in Fringe, Sons of Anarchy, Suits, Justified, Castle, Revenge, Once Upon a Time, and the list goes on.

Well, Nawty-Angel, someone who bitches THAT much MUST be riddled with angst. After all, rampant criticism is generally a by-product of another primary stressor. I just incorrectly assumed it was due to a precipitous drop in estrogen, but apparently the guy is just a dick. My bad.

Weird how people confuse criticism for angst!
