There’s so much TV these days that it’s impossible to keep up with it all. Nonetheless, we’ve tried to capture the best of the best on this list, representing a range of shows from the incredibly diverse TV landscape that made 2018 so memorable.
Who Qualifies?
Any show that released new episodes on TV or online between January 1st and December 31st was considered for nomination. We tried to be as fair as possible with the division of categories (especially when it came to genre) but it’s not an exact science.
Who Picks the Winners?
Our Editors and Staff Writers all get a say but we use your votes for tie breakers and to choose a Fan Favourite so be sure to share your thoughts on Twitter or shoot us an email to editors@myentertainmentworld.ca.
When Are the Winners Announced?
A full list of the winners will be published in April.
