And the winners are...

Best Actor or Actress: Silas Weir Mitchell, a two-time winner! Mitchell continues to wow us with his amazing ability to become the character. Did you know he doesn't even watch Grimm? Maybe that's why he's so convincing!

Best Character: Nick Burkhardt juggles his part as an enforcer for two sides, deciding at the last moment which side it's most convenient for him to be on. His insight into the secret lives of the criminals and victims gives him an unfair advantage, but it's also a crutch when he goes to get a warrant.

Best Guest Star: Danny Bruno keeps the audience laughing with his character's humorous efforts to be the boldest Eisbiber that has ever lived in Portland, Bud Wurstner. His acting is convincing, and (admit it!) many of us cried when we thought he died just before a commercial break!

Best Antagonist: The Baron Samedi brought a real scare to the last two episodes of the second season with his potent "undeadly" threat he posed to any and all who got in his way. This well-researched voodoo priest was brought to life expertly by Reg E. Cathey.

Best Cliffhanger: Goodnight, Sweet Grimm kept everyone guessing all summer as to how Nick could possibly see the light of day again. The Baron Samedi had zombified him, and Eric Renard had slipped a fake ID into the coffin in which he was sealed. With the package soon en route to Europe, would anyone know how to find Nick? And once he woke up, how long would the Baron dominate over him?

Best Episode: Twelve Days of Krampus was the second in a back-to-back airing at the end of 2013. For two years, fans have been wondering why there's not been a Christmas episode yet, and a few of us have hinted rather strongly that the Krampus would be an awesome way to do it. Well done, NBC! This episode was loaded with hilarity and odd twists that kept us in a good holiday spirit (although there may be a few out there who had a nightmare before Christmas!).

Best Looking: It's hard to not like Rosalee Calvert. One of the most modest characters on the show, she still pulls off "beautiful" every time. Bree Turner's conservative yet attractive looks prove that you can still use makeup and look both natural and beautiful.

Best Weapon: Hands down, the vambrace beats all other weapons this year. Traditionally a piece of defensive armor, Nick's vambrace sports a switchblade designed for quickly stealing the upper hand from a Gelumcaedus once you pull your arm out of his mouth.

Best Wesen: We had a three-way tie this year between the Glühenvolk, the Krampus, and the Cracher-Mortel. The Glühenvolk is a rare Wesen tracked by ufologists. The Krampus is a Wesen that torments the naughty children each year before Christmas and even goes so far as to feast on some of them. And the Cracher-Mortel is a Wesen that produces pufferfish venom to zombify people.

Best Writer: Jim Kouf and David Greenwalt have done it again! For the second year in a row, these gentlemen have kept us on the edges of our seats. This year they explored a supernatural realm that brought us occult priests, minions, and some unlikely victories for Nick against powers that we once thought simply had no weakness.

Thanks, readers and editors, for voting!
