Hall of Fame
In addition to awarding the best in television across the past season, the members of the Online Film & Television Association annually select programs, performers, and behind the scenes artists to induct into their Hall of Fame. This year, we introduced two new categories for characters and theme songs. The tabulations for this year’s inductees are still being completed. You can find the recipients listed on the individual hall of fame pages once that is done.
