Game Show Awards Poll: Best Game Show

By , About.com GuideApril 16, 2009

Follow me on:

The formal announcement of the upcoming GSN Game Show Awards broadcast was made yesterday, with an air date of June 6th. Leading up to the show, I thought it might be fun to pick our own winners, using the same categories and nominees as those being used for the awards show.

We'll go in the same order as the list from the press release, and all of the nominees are listed alphabetically. The first award is for the ambiguously titled "Best Game Show," which I'm assuming encompasses game shows that are (or were recently, in the case of Million Dollar Password) still on the air.

Since we have about seven weeks to go until the awards show, and 21 categories in total, we'll run a category poll every few days. Just before the Game Show Awards ceremony, I'll tally the results and post them - it might be fun to compare our own choices with those that actually get the awards.

While we're on the subject, check out the complete category and nominee list, and if you agree with me that there are many nominees that seem to have been overlooked (especially in the contestant and memorable moments categories), leave a comment using the "Make your nominations" link at the bottom of the list.

Without further ado, let the voting begin!

I wonder if this awards ceremony will affect whether any of these shows will return to air (MDP) or go from Syndication to Prime Time again (WWTBAM, DonD)
