More Awards For Doctor Who

The annual SFX magazine awards were held at their third Weekender event in Prestatyn, North Wales on Saturday.
Season six of Doctor Who won four more prizes in the readers' poll:
Best TV Show, Matt Smith for Best Actor, and Alex Kingston for Best Actress (beating co-star Karen Gillan). Writer Neil Gaiman received the Screenwriting Excellence Award for The Doctor's Wife.
SFX also launched the Elizabeth Sladen Award this year, which recognises contributions to children's sci-fi/fantasy, and it is apt that The Sarah Jane Adventures is the first recipient.

In other news, the actress Emma Watson has become the favoured successor to Gillan, in an online poll. IGN.com announced it's results on Monday - Zooey Deschanel and Anna Friel polled in second and third place, whilst the top-ranked actor was John Boyega.
Another Harry Potter connection was reported this week, when Daniel Radcliffe ruled himself out of taking the lead role in David Yates' planned Doctor Who film. He said "that Matt Smith.. does a wonderful job" in the show.
