Introducing the first annual TV Squad Awards

We here at the TV Squad offices have been mulling this idea over for years now, and it's finally time we took action. Now that the network upfronts are over and we now know for certain (or, to give some a sliver of hope, near-certain) what shows aren't returning next season, we can start the process of submitting nominations - and then winners - of the TV Squad Awards (or as we sometimes call them internally, The Squaddies).
Over the next few days we'll have posts calling for nominee considerations for each of the twelve award categories. These posts are where you, the readers, should state your case for who or what should be nominated and why. Then, next week we'll post the nominees as chosen by the TV Squad team, along with a poll for the readers. Finally, in two weeks we'll submit the winners as chosen by TV Squad, along with the reader's choice award for each, based on the polls.
The list of awards categories after the jump.
The It's A Paycheck Award (Best movie actor slumming it on TV)
The Brought To You By TV Squad Award (Most blatant use of product placement)
The Arrested Development Award (Least deserving canceled show)
The Put Me Out Of This Misery Award (Renewed show that should just end already)
The Good Riddance Award (Show that was canceled and most deserved it)
The Reality Shows Have Writers? Award (Reality show most unlike reality)
The Jeopardy Award - Primetime game show requiring the most skill
The What the $*%*$% Were They Thinking Award (Biggest casting mistake)
The Adam Finley Award (For excellence in animation)
The Nuttiest Fans Award (Show with most dedicated fans)
The Excellence in Outsourcing Award (Best fake American accent)
The Most Real Unreal Award (Most realistic special effects)
What do the winners get? We've got the finest minters casting a britannium TV statuette for us as I type this. And by "minters" I mean GIMP and by "britannium" I mean #D9D919.
