People have been screaming about some of the winners, but the thing is that the awards is called viewers' choice and voting thrown open to the public. With these one cannot expect rational results. I mean, as much as i love Genevieve, Funke and Fabian, i only voted for them only once, so i can't really go up-in-arms that they didn't win in their categories.
Honestly, during awards, i'm just here for the fashions.
