Just because I love those polls, even if they are useless, vote for who should win an award : ).

For Martin and Andrew : http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2012-04-23/Bafta-TV-Awards-2012-nominees-Supporting-Actor---who-should-win?
I love the Sherlock fandom = ).

looks good on paper ... BUT.....

Yeah exactly. People are getting excited by the radio times poll results but they are open to international fans and the BAFTA vote is not. Don't be fooled!

**Posted by hepzibah** April 25, 2012 3:57 pm

It's pretty obvious that Sherlock followers are the ones voting there...hopefully, they are also BAFTA voters!

**Posted by Wholocked** April 25, 2012 10:01 pm

Yeah but again, non UK residents can vote on the radio times poll. So it doesn't necessarily correllate.

UK PEOPLE VOTE ON OUR BEHALF PLEAAAAASE???

Have you seen this on Tumblr?

"If the hits to the BAFTA video clips are anything to go by (and they were last year) then Celebrity Juice is beating Sherlock in the BAFTA Audience Award. As Celebrity Juice is unlikely to have non UK interest its more likely that the hits are translating into votes.

A number of Sherlock’s hits are likely to be people outside of the UK who love the show who dont realise initially that they can’t vote until after they watch the video clip that accompanies it."

So just because a non-official poll says Sherlock is winning, doesn't mean it will be that way.
We cannot rest on this people; TO ARMS !! TO ARMS!!!

You can vote for who you want to win here. It doesn't have any actual impact I don't think, just an opinion poll, but it's pretty interesting to see how many Sherlockians are logging on:

Doesn't count & Radio Times are lapping up the hit counts on their site to attract more dollars in advertising, how very American , lol.

**Posted by Davina** May 2, 2012 7:11 am

The Radio Times in an arm of the BBC. The only advertising you will see on their site is for The Open University. The BBC is publiclly funded through the TV license fee here in the UK.

**Posted by kazza474** May 2, 2012 7:29 am

BBC no longer owns it's magazines, so it's not funded the same way. It's a seperate company with ties to the BBC. However the advertising & the online traffic still goes towards promoting & so any 'current' subject can be flogged to death all in the name of circulation & hence money in the end.
