Nominations more than doubled since last month thanks to the return of the Fall television season in September. Even with all the nominations, the race was still very close in both categories. In the actor category, the race for the Top 5 was so close that a tie was forced for the 5th spot. In the actress category, one actress was very close to forcing a tie, but some of her nominations were for an episode that aired in October making those nominations invalid for this round and pushing her just out of reach of the Top 5. This once again shows how important it is to make sure that the episodes your nominating performers for aired in the correct month. It also goes to show how important each and every nomination is to earn performers a spot in the polls. Thank you to everyone who participated in the nominations round. Per usual the nominees are all very strong candidates making for what promises to be a fun-filled week of voting.
Now comes the hard part where you can only vote for 1 actor and 1 actress to be crowned as the Performers Of The Month for September. The polls will be open until 12 pm ET on October 14th.
