There is far too many in some of the catagories to decide.. From the shortlist not many who are good make it.. they should narrow it down more

Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch, Ant & Dec and The X Factor are among the shows and stars nominated for the 2014 National Television Awards.

The 19th NTAs take place at London's O2 on Wednesday, January 22. Dermot O'Leary returns as the host.

Ant and Dec, who have dominated the awards for over a decade, once again picked up a handful of nominations for their shows and will be aiming to extend their consecutive Entertainment Presenter victory tally to 13.

The duo will be up against Keith Lemon, Graham Norton, Alan Carr and O'Leary.

Saturday Night Takeaway and I'm a Celebrity are also nominated, alongside Celebrity Juice and The Graham Norton Show in the Entertainment Programme category.

In the all-new TV Detective category, Cumberbatch will face off against Broadchurch duo Olivia Colman and David Tennant, Suranne Jones (Scott and Bailey) and Idris Elba (Luther).

Educating Yorkshire, Inside Death Row with Trevor McDonald, Paul O'Grady's Working Britain and Penguins - Spy in the Huddle will compete for the Documentary Series crown, while The Great British Bake Off, Paul O'Grady: For The Love of Dogs, An Idiot Abroad and Top Gear are in the Documentary Series category.

Simon Cowell's X Factor may have lost the ratings war, but it will be hoping to claim back its NTA Talent Show crown from Strictly Come Dancing. The Voice, Dancing on Ice and Britain's Got Talent are also nominated.

Meanwhile, the big Drama battle is between Broadchurch, Doctor Who, Call The Midwife and Downton Abbey.

The NTAs is the only TV awards ceremony where all the winners are chosen by the public in a huge nationwide poll.

Voting is open now at NationalTVAwards.com. Voting closes at 12 noon on Wednesday, January 22, 2014.

congrats to julie winning best serial drama performance, well deserved. also congrats to corrie, although if we were judging the year 2013 as a whole and not cherry picking bits, i feel emmerdale should have won best serial drama. they had a very good 2013.

i have a feeling in my water that 2014 may be eastenders year?

It's people that vote though. People should vote but not everyone knows they can. My neighbour voted for the first time after I told her she could she is 77 and thought judges selected.

Well done to Corrie and Julie on their awards. There was no doubt that either Julie or David would have scooped that award. They must be favourite for the soap awards. But the best moment of the night has to go to Kiefer appearing on the NTA's isn't he stunning :D
