The Craigy Decade Awards – Celebrating the best of Television (Part Two)

With the decade almost over, I have decided the form the ‘Craigy’ awards which celebrate the best of film and television over the past ten years.

This has allowed me to put together a couple of articles for each category with the small-screen getting the attention first. The HBO epic Game of Thrones leads the way with an astounding 42 nominations with Breaking Bad cropping up in second place with eighteen nods.

This second edition of the TV awards centres on the best of animation, comedy and drama series as well as the incredible performances given by a number of memorable stars.

As previously mentioned, I have managed to create a special drop-down option that enables readers to choose the category they want rather than scrolling down. With all said and done then….
