**Multichannel **

Nominations: *Celebrity Juice, Game Of Thrones, Geordie Shore, The Walking Dead *

Who will win? Yes, Geordie Shore is in the same category as Game Of Thrones. Deal with it. GOT has a huge global fan base, so should win.

NTAs 2015

Cumberbatch for the win
Cumberbatch for the win

Drama Performance

Nominations: Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock), Sarah Lancashire (Happy Valley), Dame Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey), Sheridan Smith (Cilla)

Who will win? As amazing as Lancashire and Smith were, Cumberbatch has to be one of the most popular actors in the world, so he’ll get it, and quite right, too.

**Drama **

Nominations: *Cilla, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Sherlock *

Who will win? It’s the massive Who fan army vs the possibly even more massive Sherlock army. So Sherlock must be the favourite.

Enders is the fave

Serial Drama

Nominations: *Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks *

Who will win? Corrie won last year when it was a massively strong year for them**, but this feels like EastEnders' time, now taht the Carter family have made such a big impression.

**Newcomer **

Nominations: Maddy Hill (EastEnders), Lee Mead (Casualty), Cameron Moore (Hollyoaks), Michael Parr (Emmerdale)

Who will win? The Carter family have turned round EastEnders’ fortunes and Maddy’s sassy work as Nancy has been key to their popularity. She’ll win.

Everyone loves Paul. And his doggies.

Factual

Nominations: Googlebox, Long Lost Family, Paul O’Grady: For The Love Of Dogs, Top Gear

Who will win? Paul O’Grady is one of the most popular TV personalities out there and his show features cute canines. What’s not to love?

Skills Challenge Show

Nominations: Come Dine With Me, MasterChef, The Apprentice, The Great British Bake Off

Who will win? Bake Off was the biggest show on TV last year so it really should win if there’s any justice.

They'll win again...

**Daytime **

Nominations: Pointless, The Chase, The Jeremy Kyle Show, This Morning

Who will win? This Morning wins pretty much as often as Ant & Dec do in their category, and I’m sure it will do so again this time.

**Talent Show **

Nominations: Britain’s Got Talent, Strictly Come Dancing, The Voice UK, The X Factor

Who will win? Strictly’s strong series and ratings dominance over The X Factor will be uppermost in viewers’ minds and should nab it the award.

Mrs Brown will rule

**Comedy **

Nominations: *Benidorm, Mrs Brown’s Boys, Outnumbered, The Big Bang Theory *

Who will win? Mrs Brown’s Boys was the most watched show this Christmas again, and it’s a sure-fire winner in this category.

TV Judge

****Nominations: Mary Berry, Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, David Walliams

Who will win? Well David was undoubtedly the most entertaining judge, but Simon is quite popular and will probably get the public’s vote.

Serial Drama Performance

Nominations: Kellie Bright (EastEnders), Danny Dyer (EastEnders), Verity Rushworth (Emmerdale), Nikki Sanderson (Hollyoaks)

Who will win? I’d be utterly amazed if Danny Dyer’s achievement in helping turn Enders round doesn’t get recognised by the voters.

**Chat Show Host **

Nominations: Alan Carr, Michael McIntyre, Graham Norton, Paul O’Grady, Jonathan Ross

Who will win? All these guys are great, but I wonder if Alan Carr’s huge following might seal the deal for him. I reckon it will.

They might just win

Entertainment Presenter

Nominations: Ant & Dec, Keith Lemon, Dermot O’Leary, Bradley Walsh

Who will win? For the 187th year in a row, Ant & Dec, the greatest TV presenters will win this award. What will they say this time?

Entertainment Programme

Nominations: *Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, Celebrity Big Brother, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, Through The Keyhole *

Who will win? This will effectively be another award for Ant & Dec, as the overall popularity of I’m A Celeb year after year wins out.
