The 2013 GreenArrowTV Awards: The Nominations Are In!

Continuing a summer tradition started at our Smallville website, KryptonSite, we’re going to do annual Awards honoring the best and worst of a given season – in this case, Arrow Season 1.

Last week, we asked for your help in narrowing down the choices in several key categories, so if a favorite (or something you disliked) is not listed in a given column, the reason is that it didn’t garner enough nominations. We tried to narrow things down as much as possible — in cases like Best Guest Star, all of the people listed had a lot of nominations, and it wouldn’t have been fair to miss them.

We’ll refresh with a new category posted every few days, but first, we’ll be doing Best Episode which should be posted within a few minutes. For now, here are this year’s nominees. The photos next to the sections are for decorative purposes only and are not meant to imply those are necessarily our own choices or to sway you in any way.

Thanks for participating! Final results will be announced once all of the voting is done.

Voting is now happening in the Best Cliffhanger category – find it here!
