We made an executive decision to place Scandal star Tony Goldwyn, who submitted as supporting for the Emmys, into the lead actor EWwy race because he plays the president. But we did not rig his win — by 594 votes — over two-time runner-up Timothy Olyphant.
Tony Goldwyn, Scandal — 27.98%
Timothy Olyphant, Justified — 24.08%
Jonny Lee Miller, Elementary — 23.21%

Last year, this category was the closest race. This year, it has the largest margin of victory — 3,331 votes. That proves, once again, that clone-playing Tatiana Maslany was the snub of the 2013 Emmys.
Tatiana Maslany, Orphan Black — 42.77%
Emmy Rossum, Shameless — 24.75%

Nominated for each of his five seasons on Fringe, John Noble has scored a hat trick: This is his third win. (Naturally, Scandal‘s Cyrus Beene, Jeff Perry, ran a good race — only 368 votes separated them, making it this year’s tightest.) Noble also accepted golden ewes in 2010 and 2012; he was runner-up in 2009 and 2011.

Natalie Dormer’s powers of persuasion work off-screen as well: The Game of Thrones star courted 458 more voters than Parenthood‘s Monica Potter.

Special shout-out: If you haven’t watched Sundance’s Rectify, the quality of its ewe-y campaign for actors Abigail Spencer and Aden Young alone should be enough of an incentive.
The runner-up last year in this category, NBC’s Parks and Recreation finally takes home the golden ewe, which should feel perfectly at home in Pawnee. While 1,947 votes separated it from second place New Girl, only seven votes separated New Girl from How I Met Your Mother.
