Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

After months of anticipation, the 2022 NTAs will take place on Thursday 13 October.

As one of the biggest nights in British entertainment, the National Television Awards is often one of the most-watched ceremonies in the UK. It will air on ITV from 8.00pm on a short delay from its live taping at the SSE Arena, Wembley.

This year’s ceremony will be hosted by Joel Dommett. As the host of The Masked Singer, Dommett may also be a recipient of an award this evening, as the show is nominated in the Talent Show category.

You can read the nominees in full here.

Something notable about this ceremony is that its results are entirely decided by the public, giving television viewers the opportunity to be a part of honouring their favourite shows and talent.

Here’s a guide on how to cast your vote in time for the ceremony.

How to vote in the NTAs

Voting for your favourite actors, personalities and programmes can be done on the official NTAs website: nationaltvawards.com/vote.

With the ceremony taking place later today, voting closes at 12 noon.

Categories include Best Drama, TV Presenter, Factual Entertainment, Authored Documentary and Quiz Game Show.

After winning for the 20th year in a row in 2021, Ant and Dec are hoping to score a 21st in the TV Presenter category. However, the double act face fresh competition in the form of first-time nominee Alison Hammond, who has charmed viewers with her hosting skills on This Morning.

In a change from recent years, Hammond’s colleagues on the programme, Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, are not nominated in this category.

Elsewhere, the category of Serial Drama sees Emmerdale, EastEnders, Coronation Street and Neighbours going head-to-head for an award. Since Neighbours came to an end with much fanfare earlier this year, this is the final time that the Australian soap will be able to score an award at the NTAs.
