The stars who’ve been nominated for this year’s awards have impressed us with their talent, inspired us with their style and astounded us with their good looks.
After much (and often heated!) discussion we’ve narrowed it down to our top five contenders in each category. Now it’s up to you to decide who deserves the top spot. The competition is fierce, so start voting right now for your favourite stars.
You can vote either online or via SMS – or if you want to give your favourite star the best chance of winning you can do both*!
If you vote in every category you’ll automatically be entered into a draw to win a fabulous holiday to the Maldives and there are plenty of other fantastic prizes up for grabs too. Voting is open until 12 noon on Thursday 5 October.
