Has anyone noticed how Graham Norton seems to be taking over BBC Television, in a manner not dissimilar to Fiona Bruce's attempts some years ago?

Was The Heist really just last year? Thought it was longer ago!

I would like to see ITV [For Once] win the Best News Programme. The Lebanon Coverage was good last year although you couldn't really call it between the BBC and ITV on the coverage.

Also, i would like to see Life On Mars win, because incorporating the test card girl was utter genius! And F1 win the sport category because i am a devoted F1 fan but lets hear others thoughts!

agreed, although it wont happen

As long as Corrie wins Best Continuing Drama I dont care who wins any of the others. Although it will probabaly be Eastenders who wins

How come there isn't any award for a daytime programming? I wonder if BAFTA consider dayime to be a bit below them.

Me too, but the 2006 Hungarian GP? Jenson Button's sole win and the most cringeworthy moment of commentary ever from that generally cringeworthy commentator James Allen? Ugh. How and why the guy is up for RTS Sports Commentator of the year, I don't know.

James Allen is a complete knoob when it comes to F1, and i would just like to see it win beacuse it's F1 and i like the sport. Thats the only reason why i'm voting for it!

I'd quite like to see Paul Merton winning the entertainment performance award. Ant and Dec, although good, win too much.

I would vote for
