Davina, who won?

Was it Dominic West?

Can someone, please, pass me a shock blanket???

NOOOOOOOOOO!
What have they done?!?!

Logging off now!

Have never watched it. Probably lowest common denominator. Maybe powers-that-be don't regard Sherlock as 'serious' drama. I am outraged!

 

Thrilled for Andrew Scott. Very disappointed for Benedict. So, so, sad that the series has not recieved the recognition it deserves.

(fresh from streaming on the site m0r recommended but relinked four times when it froze, and not daring to split the signal before it was finished)

Aw, Andrew Scott so so in such genuine wonderment and joy at his award. Brought tears to the eyes. So lovely.

     Very very sorry that Benedict didn't get it...perhaps I'm just too long in the tooth but I wasn't that surprised, not because I don't think he's fantastic and so forth but because I could envisage that the actual winner was also brilliant in the role he played which, for all Mofftis's writing, actually offered particular special opportunities to the actor concerned. Apologies to those who don't agree.
    Almost of more value was Benedict being very gracious, and the respect his fellow actor had for him by providing a lovely opportunity to show it (along with the camera/editing person). I don't know what else Dominic has done but Benedict has the presence of someone who will be one of the reallygreats over time. Looking forward to his Fellowship! (Rolf Harris! Wow! Another lovely response to an award).

Thanks again m0r, it was just wonderful to feel connected to it all, even if I hadn't seen or even heard of so much of it...including the Juice thing. Much of the British public and I have different tastes and I guess I'm used to it after all these years. Frustrating sometimes, but so long as they still make things like Sherlock too...

He was himself, and enjoyed it.

I feel the same way about you re:investigating the audience category. I'm afraid I assume that any 'audience vote' thing 'may or may not be representative' and I'm not being cynical. Do you think the winner vs the runner ups means a lot (eg for funding?) in such votes?

I find very very strange the Audience Award. I don't know if it deserves to be investigated or not, but... it just feels weird. Or is it that Sherlock is far more loved and famous out of the UK than in the UK? I don't even know what kind of a program is Celebrity Juice (though the title says a lot in itself, let's be honest) but I really can't believe after the "believe in Sherlock" movement, that this award has slipped of their hands.

I'm also disappointed in the jury for not appreciating Benedict's work. I really can't speak for West because I haven't seen Appropriate Adult, but... what does Ben need to do to be recognised as the amazing actor he is? Only for the last twenty minutes of TRF... what the hell, even if it was just for the note!! So many nuances in his voice... I just can't believe it. Maybe it's because Sherlock is not an obvious emotional character (harder, in my opinion, to portray effectively), and we all know how much people love to give awards to intense and emotional characters. Or maybe it's just because they're jealous of his success. Who knows.

Even Dominic looked like apologising when he took the award...

Sorry if this makes no sense, but I'm a bit pissed off right now and my English may be resenting it

Sorry you are so upset.
If the award wasn't comparative based on... neh,I guess nothing is adequate explanation right now.

Here's the shock blanket (cleaned and refolded), and yeh, try to think of Andrew's face during his speech...
(really really sorry)

* hiding*
I don't know what the Sherlock equivalent of Ted's cookies on BTVS are.
