Through Twitter: tomorrow the Audience Awards voting starts. Now I wonder which series we are going to vote for. Keep an eye out on BAFTA'S website.

Are non-UK people allowed to vote?

Celebrity Juice', 'Sherlock' battle for BAFTA YouTube Audience Award

ITV2's Keith Lemon comedy vehicle Celebrity Juice is the surprise nomination in this year's BAFTA YouTube Audience Award shortlist.

The comedy panel show, which features Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton, will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of fellow ITV2 hit and last year's YouTube Award winner The Only Way Is Essex and take home the gong at this year's Arqiva British Academy Television Awards.

I don't think non-Uk people are allowed to vote. The poll on the Bafta site is only available for Uk people.

It looks like it's the link for the poll, but I can't access it -_-.

I'm in the UK and I can't work out how to access it either though! Help!

Look at the amount of votes Sherlock has already. It's unbelievable! I think it's definitely going to win, lol.

The power of the Sherlockians!!

**Posted by Milkomeda** April 19, 2012 10:16 pm

Well, Wholocked, if it was the right link, Sherlock would have easily win : ). But, yeah, it's sad we can't really vote : (.

**Posted by Milkomeda** April 19, 2012 11:00 pm

Sherlock has to win, otherwise I will have the same expression as Martin last year.

Well, it has happened before that someone who was expected to be in Germany found himself in a car boot in Southwark, hasn't it?

**Posted by Davina** April 20, 2012 5:00 am

Oh! Good one! Still can't get the correct link on my I-pad so will have to try on my other computer later.

**Posted by kazza474** April 24, 2012 1:21 pm

I've read quite a few articles on this award & it seems last year, while everyone thought SHerlock was a 'shoe in' to win, they were pipped at the post.
This has happened manytimes in 'audience vote' competitions as people get lax and figure 'everyone else is voting for them , I don't need to".

Well, last yeat proved ' IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT!

So please, please please: anyone who is eligible to vote MAKE SURE YOU DO!!!
And send that message to everyone you can whether on Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, etc etc.

We as a fandom have been insulted by the Bafta-arian clan; Moffat & Gatiss have been wronged, and the good name of BBCSherlock shall be missing from the history books on this award!
This means WAR!

I'll be contacting my niece over there & urging her to place my vote for me. Anyone else who cannot vote should THINK! (using Sherlock's best THINK voice) Contact that long lost Aunt and urge her to vote, tell her it is necessary to ensure your sanity; promise to send more cards to her; offer to do her lawn whenever you get over that way; sell your innermost secrets to her if necessary; but get everyone to VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!

**This has been a community announcement on behalf of all Sherlock fans who may soon be losing their minds; or what little they have left !**

Also, you can use different web browsers and different computers to vote more than once. Using this method I've been able to vote 8 times!

**Posted by Wholocked** April 24, 2012 1:55 pm

Yes! Visit many libraries, oh my pretty Sherlockians!

**Posted by Irene Adler** April 24, 2012 2:03 pm

Please, UK residents, someone vote for me!!
I have no aunts in Britain...

**Posted by kazza474** April 24, 2012 2:07 pm

I've seen someone posting about how to trick the voting process and disguise your IP address so it looks like you are in the UK. This is illegal so I won't be doing it. The thing is , if they discover this happening, it may well jeopardise the whole comp really although I am sure it happens a lot anyway online.
I couldn't do it; I think that is going a bit far.
I'd hate to see Sherlock ruled out of contention if they believe it is rife. I actually wish those posts were all taken down; it's never good to promote cheating & that is all it is; this show deserves better than that.
