TVChoice 2012 nominations: Sherlock's Cumberbatch takes on Dr Who's Matt Smith

It's the showbiz event that promises a night to remember; stars will be hitting the red carpet for the TVChoice Awards 2012 on Monday 10 September.

Jo Brand will host the ceremony, but who will be receiving the awards? In the Best Actor category, it's Sherlock versus Doctor Who as Benedict Cumberbatch takes on Matt Smith.

In reality TV, Big Brother misses out as reality soaps Made In Chelsea and The Only Way Is Essex fight for supremacy. Talking of the soaps, will Hollyoaks and Emmerdale cause a major upset? Can Coronation Street pull off a shock win? Or will EastEnders triumph yet again? If you want your say, cast your vote at www.tvchoicemagazine.co.uk before 13 July.
