STAR READERS VOTE THE BEAST BEST FOR AN EMMY

Star readers don't agree with the Emmy Awards. Beauty and the Beast was the big favorite with our readers in a nationwide phone-in poll, but in the actual Emmy tally, the much nominated series failed to win a single major award.

Beast was named Best Drama Series by STAR readers, who also chose the shows stars Best Actor and Actress in a Drama Series. Our readers chose Beast with 27.3 percent of the votes, while Ron Perlman topped the list with 30.4 percent, and Linda Hamilton garnered 27.7 percent.
