Well the My Family winners were a bit alternative with their speech, they should have played it straight.

Yes as acceptance speeches go that was truly rubbish. Ant & Dec are seasoned pro's at these now though, they can show them how it's done.

Who'll be getting the "Special Recognition" award tonight then ?


*thinks* I'm guessing Melanie Sykes, Kat Slater or Shane Ritchie simply because they're so 'popular'. Somebody that's done Iraq news coverage perhaps? Trevor himself? lol.

Bah. Kat Slater wins best actress. No surprise. Eastenders has been so rubbish this year. Yet they've won nearly everything - again. I didn't even expect Suranne to win, I wanted Amanda Redman to win!

If Shane Ritchie gets best actor and Eastenders gets best soap it'll be a travesty.

Yep, looks like it's going to be an Eastenders sweep tonight. Just need Shane Richie for the set, and best soap is anybody's guess, I bet the Emmerdale lot get fed up of turning up for these events. They must know they're never in it.

Reminds me of the soap awards when the Night and Day cast would turn up! IIRC, they actually won some though.

So at the half way stage its

BBC1 - 3
ITV1 - 3
CH4 - 0

Oh dear Jessie Wallace has won best actress, how she can win when actresses from proper dramas like both Amandas are in the running I don't know. Has she actually done anything outstanding this year or what?

Emmerdale have won it before haven't they? I thought Charley had a good chance tonight.

Arn't the NTAs usually sponsored anyway?

Re Special Achivement, I may have said Des O'Conner but now he's just appeared and Trev's done his CV so maybe not

Personally I wouldn't include soap actresses / actors in these categories because it's sort of unfair. They get far more exposure.

Actually, I've just noticed that they don't call it "Best Actress" or "Best Entertainer". It's "Most Popular Actress" etc. There is a huge difference and it puts them up in my estimation.

However, the way in which Jesse Wallace was treated was terrible. I can't believe Trevor cut her speech short to go to a break!

We hear enough of her on Eastenders without her clogging up the NTA too! Laughing

James Nesbit - is he a point for ITV or the BBC?

Arggg!!!!! I knew it, I KNEW IT! I hoped Suranne would win (although I did know she probabaly wouldnt), anyone but that woman from Eastenders Evil or Very Mad

Ive no idea what that woman has done to deserve that award as I dont watch EE but looking at the clips Suranne's performance was much better!

These awards are turning into a disaster for Corrie. If they dont win Best Soap there is seriously something wrong somewhere after the excellent year they have had!

As for the Special Recognition Award it had better not be someone from Eastenders.

I agree. That was really quite unpleasant I thought.

Best moment of the night so far has been the booing of the creature comforts trailing by trev.

Worst - Best newcomer going to entirely the wrong person. And of course Tarrent using his cough joke crutch.

Us Corrie viewers are the more intelligent ones. We don't waste money on expensive text messages or phone lines to vote. Only daft people do so (hence Eastenders is winning!) Very Happy I notice they're subliminally advertising Corrie with a 'preview'!

But Jeremy, if you had it your way every single award would go to ITV.
