POLL MOVEMENT OBSERVATIONS:

Hindi nagpapatalo ang Naruto Shippuden bilang 2nd place sa Local TV Gold, while Shakugan no Shana shockingly at 3rd. Silver, Bronze, Teen/Drama and Tokusatsu votes led by entries by ABS-CBN 2 and GMA 7. Pero nananatili pa rin ang TV5 sa kalamangan sa Local TV award.

Kapwa pinaghahatian ng Hero TV at ng Animax ang kanilang kalamangan sa Gold, Silver, Bronze at Teen/Drama. Nakakagulat naman ang lamang ng PR: Operation Overdrive sa Tokusatsu. Hero TV stays the lead at the Cable TV award.

Dikitan ang laban sa Miscellaneous section. Bagamat nangunguna ang mga nabanggit sa itaas, mababa ang naitalang boto para sa kanila. Habang sinusulat ang update na ito, meron tayong TRIPLE TIE sa Most Improved Tagalog-Dubbed.

Tabla din ang laban sa Male Dubber at Dubbing Director. Hataw sa polls sina Hazel Hernan, Megumi Nakajima at ang cosplayer na si Alodia.
