" NCIS has never played politics. Bellisario has never been interested, as far as I can tell, the cast and crew work far too hard, and play too little, to be "names" on the Hollywood party scene. They're just simply not as "known" on an interpersonal relationship level as some actors. I'm thinking of the people who are often at premieres and events.

The NCIS folks just don't do that. Sure, PP does some events, but they're mostly charity driven, which isn't as "cool", and Mw does the very occasional event, but they're not out like, say, the Glee actors.

Couple that with the American version of the "tall Poppy syndrome". For some reason, Hollywood hardly ever wants to recognize shows or movies that are popular. Its as if popularity means a lessening in quality.

And I don't think you can discount the fact that NCIS plays very well in the more conservative areas of the country and has a very pro-military bent.

While Call of Silence was nominated, it was for Charles Durning as guest actor. COS is my favorite NCIS episode, and I think CD absolutely deserved that nomination, but I also think it was politically driven and that people heard his personal story and responded to him.

I think that it ends up being a combination of all of these things. And NCIS has never fit neatly into *any* box.

"SCAM! FAKE!! I wish we could ask for an investigation. Who to ask...the FCC? CBS? PCA itself? "

"Thanks to those of you who replied to my earlier post. I think that we can all agree that NCIS is "unique", and IMHO this is exactly why it continues to rank #1 among anything else in it's genre. What's not to love? Long live NCIS!"

"I think we should read page 3 and 4 of People's Choice Thread on CBS Site. It's very interesting and explains how a 5-6 million viewers show won against the Tv's #1 Drama Crime Show (19-20 million viewers): Bots! Bots! Bots!

I'm disgusted and I feel insulted by PCA organizers' arrogance and fakeness. Do they really think that viewers are so blind and stupid to not understand that these results are false?!

After all that happened, I think that NCIS cast should be honored to not win such a fake award, because it would have been an insult to their talent and job."
