Main Categories
1. Best actor- skipping for now
2. Best Antagonist - Harry Mudd
3. Best Character Scene - That part in 'Context is for Kings' where Lorca starts pitching Micheal how she could simultaneously be useful to the Discovery's mission and find redemption. It was very slick and you feel yourself getting pulled in just like Micheal and yet you get a bad feeling about the whole scene. The scenes just so well done in my opinion.

6. Best Death - T'Kuvma it was the chain reaction that set the plot into motion.
7. Worst Death - Georgiou
8. Best Episode - Magic to Make the Sanest Man go Mad (it was very treky)
9. Worst Episode - Battle of the Binary Stars (Georgiou is great but the whole pace of things is very choppy they tried to pack to much into two little time.)
10. Best Line - "It can be only what it is, not what you want it to be"
11. Worst Line - Micheal reciting Alice in Wonderland out loud.

Picking up where I left off, but I'll skip Behind the Scenes for now.

Made for the Moment
19. Best Character Moment --> Stamets and Tyler encounter, in "The War Within, The War Without"
20. Worst Character Moment --> N/A
21. Best Gratuitous Scene --> Double Klingon Dong
22. Best Ground Battle --> Phaser Fight in "Vaulting Ambition"
23. Best Lorca Is a Prick Moment --> Lorca not rescuing Cornwell. He's going to start giving a shit about regulations now? Nope. Bullshit. Because...
24. Best Plot Point --> When Cornwell can't tell if Lorca is really him in "Lethe".
25. Best Tilly Moment --> Tilly getting Burnham and Tyler to hook up, again in "Lethe".
26. Best Weird-Out Moment --> Double Klingon Dong

Props, Costumes, & Design
27. Coolest Hair --> Detmer
28. Best Costume --> Emperor Georgiou
29. Best Make-Up --> Ariem
30. Best New Design --> Discovery

32. Best Non-Hero Ship --> Shenzou
33. Best Space-Faring Lifeform --> The Tartigrade

Technical
34. Best Real Science Concept --> The mention of Panspermia
35. Best Ship-to-Ship Battle --> 133 Jumps

Stopping again for now.
 
Finishing this off.

Technical
36. Best Special Effect --> Burnham's uniform being created.
37. Worst Special Effect --> N/A, nothing jumped at me as being particularly bad.

Kicking It Old School
38. Best Homage/Callback --> "Alice in Wonderland". That's a deep cut.
39. Worst Homage/Callback --> Cornwell talking about Archer and the NX-01 travelling to Qo'noS.
40. Best Traditionally Sci-Fi Story or Storyline --> "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad"
41. Best Traditionally Star Trek Scene or Moment --> "We Are Starfleet".

The Parent's Basement
42. Best Anachronism --> The holo-communicators. I don't care if DSC has them. Canon or no canon, can you seriously tell me you think a holo-communicator would be more advanced than warp drive? Come on.

43. Best Canon Violation --> The updated look of everything. Previous revisits to the Mid-23rd Century were one-off events. If the Mid-23rd Century was going to be an active, ongoing period of Star Trek again -- and the main focus! -- it had to be updated. Sorry.

44. Best Fan Service --> It's so great that they managed to work in Clint Howard. And, as usual, it's where you least would've expected him! :D

45. Best Incongruity --> The Klingon D7's.

46. Best Line Spoken in Klingon --> "Kay-lesh!!!!"

However, I do know that I am surrounded by a team I trust — the finest a captain could ever hope to command. Lorca abused our idealism. Make no mistake: Discovery is no longer Lorca's. She is ours.

For those who like to wait until the last moment, this is it! You have until 11:59 pm Eastern Time to submit your nominations!
 
"Discovery" is a fine show but i'm not sure it is worthy of any awards just as yet. Maybe next year.:)

Still I would like to add a few "Discovery" nominations.

1 Best "Discovery Forum Thread: ;Any of the ones that are about canon. The runner up being any of the ones about canon. Sadly that was the only options since it's a trick question. They are all about canon!

2 Best Burnham: The one played by Rosario Dawson in the alternate universe 3 verse's down from our own where here character was killed off early in their Netflix Marvel shows allowing her to sign aboard.

3 Best person scaming CBS All-Access to watch the show: Bob Sanders from Peoria, Idaho who was signed up under his Dog's name which just happened to also be his deceased grandmother's name.

4 Best Racism/Sexism: Bob Sanders once again making a point on his Youtube channel that CBS was forced by SJW''s to make Burnham, their Mary Sue character, be a person of color because Obama wanted it. Mary Sue characters are by tradition usually white and now all of sudden that isn't good enough, anymore.

5 Best Prediction for season 2: Negative feedback will be harsh forcing CBS to do that "Discovery"'Big Bang Theory""New TNG" crossover episode that everyone wants. Little hint. It revolves around the Discovery crew and the Big Bang Theory adult characters teaming up trying to find Young Sheldon who has hidden out on Picard's ship in the 24th century.
