Beautiful Man Update
The Television Drama Academy Awards is not a formal award ceremony. In fact, a ceremony is not even held for the event. The Drama Academy Awards is actually hosted by the magazine, The Television Weekly, in which nominations and results are revealed through a 3-5 (sometimes more) page spread. The combined votes of the magazine’s readers, the magazine’s team of juries, and TV journalists decide the winners of each category. This event is held 4 times a year. Below is a look at 2013’s first-quarter winners, who were announced in The Television Weekly's issue no. 7 for the 75th Drama Academy Awards, on February 13.
