Heard the news? The all-important final round of public voting has opened for this year’s National Television Awards and Doctor Who remains in the running in three categories.

Matt Smith is up for Best Drama Performance: Male for his role of the Doctor whilst Karen Gillan’s portrayal of Amy Pond wins her a nomination in the Best Drama Performance: Female category. And finally, Doctor Who is one of four nominees for Best Drama.

There was more good news for Steven Moffat (Doctor Who’s lead writer and executive producer) as Sherlock is also nominated for Best Drama with Benedict Cumberbatch up for Best Drama Performance: Male for his eponymous role in the detective drama.

The competition this year is incredibly tough but you can have your say by visiting the NTA homepage and voting for your favourite show and its stars. Time is short, though, as voting closes at midday on 23 January, 2013.

All new votes will be added to those already submitted in the first round of voting and the results will be announced live during the awards ceremony on ITV1 from 7.30pm, 23 January.

We’ll be cheering on Matt, Karen and Doctor Who and if you want to show your support, don’t forget to vote at the NTA site soon!
