Ted had an average rating of 8.7 based on 23,000 votes over the years – and since it was the highest rated for the year that it was initially released, this means that it made the cut.

Clinching 2014′s top spot was True Detective – with an average rating of 9.2 from from over 280,000 votes.

It’s a proud day for Craggy Island.

Now, this is an award Todd Unctious can’t steal.
