The viewers have spoken. The votes are in. Britain’s best-loved TV programmes and performers can be revealed in the hotly anticipated Shortlist for the 23rd National Television Awards

The final round of voting opened on 9th January 2018. Now it’s time for the nation to decide who will emerge victorious at the star-studded ceremony, broadcast live on ITV on 23rd January 2018 from The O2 London and hosted by the inimitable Dermot O’Leary. 

The NTAs are paying tribute to the late, great Sir Bruce Forsyth by naming a major prize after him. Ant &Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, The Graham Norton Show, Celebrity Juice and All Round to Mrs Brown's have the honour of battling it out for the inaugural Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award. 

A brand new category, Crime Drama, recognises a year when primetime mysteries became our favourite TV genre, and pits Line of Duty against Broadchurch, Little Boy Blue and Sherlock. Armchair detectives – make your voices heard!  It was a milestone series for The Great British Bake Off, which debuted on a new channel with a new-lookline-up. Can the sweet-toothed contest seal its big-money move’s success by pipping I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, MasterChef and Love Island to the Challenge Show prize? Can reigning champions Ant & Dec make it a jaw-dropping 17-year winning streak and retain their TV Presenter title? Stiff competition comes from ITV colleagues Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby who go head to head for the first time, but will fellow nominee Bradley Walsh win the chase before he takes a trip in the Tardis in the next series of Doctor Who? 

It’s too close to call for the Drama award, where infidelity potboiler Doctor Foster and date-rape drama Liar come up against medical stalwarts Call The Midwife and Casualty - not to mention world-conquering phenomenon Game Of Thrones, which is hoping to take a prize home to Westeros in its final year. It's also a clash of the acting titans for Drama Performance, with Taboo star Tom Hardy and Broadchurch’s leading man David Tennant tackling a triumvirate of our top TV actresses in Sheridan Smith, Jenna Coleman and Suranne Jones. 

Coronation Street’s Lucy Fallon saw Bethany Platt through an emotional 12 months. She joins co-star Barbara Knox, as well as the ever-popular Danny Miller (Emmerdale) and Lacey Turner (EastEnders) in Serial Drama Performance. 

TV Judge hails the crucial role of our iconic on-screen judges and looks like one of the most closely-fought awards. BGT’s David Walliams is pitted against his boss, talent show king Simon Cowell, while The Voice UK’s will.i.am and Bake-Off’s Paul Hollywood are also strong contenders. 

The National Television Awards is the UK’s leading TV awards event, celebrating the nation’s best-loved, most successful TV shows and stars. The NTAs are the awards that listen to the viewing public. Now it is time for them to make their voices heard – by voting!
