The
National Television Awards is a British
television awards
ceremony, sponsored by the ITV network and initiated in 1995.
Although not widely held to be as prestigious as the
British Academy Television
Awards, the premier UK television accolades, the National
Television Awards are probably the most prominent ceremony for
which the results are voted on by the general public. Because of
the way the awards are decided, winners are not given the title
"Best", but rather "Most Popular". The ceremony was traditionally
held annually in October and hosted by Sir
Trevor McDonald. However, after no ceremony
was held in 2009, McDonald stepped down from the role, which passed
to
Dermot O'leary. The next ceremony
will be in January 2010, when the awards will be hosted at the
O2 arena.
Categories at the 2006 Awards ceremony, which was held on the
evening on 31 October were: Entertainment Presenter, TV Contender,
Entertainment Programme, Reality Programme, Drama, Serial Drama
(
soap opera), Newcomer, Actor, Actress,
Quiz Programme, Daytime Programme, Comedy and Factual Programme.
Viewers can vote for the short-list of nominees from an initial
long list prepared by ITV, and then later can vote by
text message, the official
website and
phone for which of
the nominees in each category should win.
The awards ceremony,
held at the Royal Albert
Hall
, is shown in full by ITV. This is sometimes
live, but has also been the evening after it takes place, by which
time the results have usually been widely reported in the British
media.
Unlike the BAFTAs and other similar awards ceremonies, the National
Television Awards allow foreign programmes to be nominated,
providing they have been screened on a British channel during the
eligible time period.
For example, American
series
Desperate Housewives
was nominated in the 2005 Most Popular Drama category.
