The winners of the SFX awards 2011 have been announced, and Doctor Who has emerged as a big winner, picking up no less than 5 awards.

Current Doctor Matt Smith fought off competition from Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey Jr and former Doctor David Tennant for the title of 'Best Actor'. Smith commented: “Thank you so much to the readers of SFX for voting for me. I’m really proud to have won this award and it’s amazing to receive such fantastic support from fans of the show. I’d also like to thank the team at SFX who have continued to produce brilliant coverage on the show – the magazine’s 3D lenticular cover last April was incredible and a real highlight for everyone involved in Doctor Who.”

Karen Gillan picked up the 'Best Actress' award for her role as Amy Pond in Doctor Who, beating Chloe Moretz, Yvonne Strahovski and Zoe Saldana. Gillan thanked the readers of the magazine: “Wooah! I really wasn’t expecting that! I’m completely honoured that the cool cats who read SFX have voted me best actress! Basically I’m trying to say thanks to each and every reader who took the time to vote. I would also like to thank the Doctor Who production team who work so hard every day to make this show a success. And a big thank you to Matt and Arthur for making the TARDIS team such fun to be in. We are back on your screens this spring with some seriously scary stuff going down. So look out….”
