'Game Of Thrones,' 'Fringe' Lead 2011 Portal Awards

It's summer time, and that means only one thing. It's time for the Porties!

Airlock Alpha announces the 2011 Portal Award nominees, with 15 television shows, five movies and some of the biggest names in the genre competing for a spot in the winner's circle of the 12th installment of the awards.

Leading the way are both a newcomer and a fan favorite: HBO's "Game of Thrones" and Fox's "Fringe." Both received seven nominations, including Best Series/Television.

They were followed closely behind by "Doctor Who" with six nominations, "Stargate: Universe" with five nominations and "Caprica" with four. Rounding out television nominees were "Warehouse 13" with three nominations, "The Walking Dead" and "V" with two, and both "The Cape" and "Smallville" with one.

Of those 10 shows, only half will return for eligibility next year, since the others were either cancelled or simply ended their runs.

On the movie side, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" led the way with seven nominations including multiple Best Actor and Best Actress nominations, and Best Movie.

"Inception" and "Thor" had three nominations each, while "The Adjustment Bureau" and "Tron: Legacy" earned one nomination each.

Elisabeth Sladen, who passed away this past spring after becoming an icon in the Doctor Who franchise, receives her first shot at the Gene Roddenberry Award, which honors lifetime achievement. She was nominated along with "Super 8" director J.J. Abrams, former Star Trek torchbearer Rick Berman, "Star Trek" mastermind Gene L. Coon, and author H.G. Wells.

Five classic television shows are trying to reach a hall of fame of their own with the Rod Serling Award. Looking to join a class that includes the original "Star Trek," the original "Twilight Zone," the original "Doctor Who" and last year's winner "Star Trek: The Next Generation" are "Babylon 5," the original "Battlestar Galactica," "Quantum Leap," "Space: 1999" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine."

Fans will have a chance to choose from each category once per day for 30 days beginning June 25 right here at Airlock Alpha.
