The 2006 KryptonSite Awards: Some Nominees Revealed!
An annual tradition here at K-Site is the KryptonSite Awards - where fans are invited to vote for their favorite (and least favorite) episodes, guest stars, and more from the previous season.

After Season Five ended, we invited send in your nominations as to who the finalists should be in the KryptonSite Awards voting. We've narrowed things down to some nominees in each category. We're still in the process of adding some categories together so please forgive the delay!

This year we're going something a little bit different with the Best Actor categories. Instead of Best Lead and Best Supporting Actor, we are instead splitting into Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively.

Here are the nominees for the first seven categories. Look for the other nominees to be revealed later this month, and come back later this week to vote!

Note: You'll notice that some categories here have six choices; some have four, others have a different number. Mostly this is because we picked the choices that came up the most frequently, and that the final choices were ahead by a considerable margin. Hope that's okay!
