In the television categories, “Outlander” was named favorite show; “The Big Bang Theory” was named favorite network comedy; and “Grey’s Anatomy” was named favorite network drama.
Favorite cable drama went to “Bates Motel”; favorite cable comedy was “Baby Daddy.”
The awards were presented at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles.
