The DOSCARS

The DOSCARS are an episode the Two create at the end of every season of Classic Doctor Who they complete, wherein they award a 'Doscar' (a mash-up of "Doctor" and "Oscar") in various categories.

As of this writing, there have been 15 Doscars Ceremonies; one for each Season completed thus far and a single 'Celebration of the 60s' ceremony following Season 6 to award 'Best of the Best's.

The Categories Awarded
The number of categories has remained largely consistent through the Two's journey, while the method of nomination and award has varied slightly.

The primary categories are:

Additional categories, used in the All Star Awards were:
 * Best Monster
 * Best Villain
 * Best Supporting Character
 * Best Regular
 * Worst Moment
 * Best Story
 * The Ian Chesterton Heroic Moment Award (renamed the 'Sir Ian Chesterton Award' following Ian's knighthood in The Crusade.)
 * Icon of the Season (introduced Season Ten)

As the Two Watch Who fan base grew, listeners began to make suggestions to the Two on potential categories worthy of addition. These included:
 * Best Couple
 * Clothes Watch Icon


 * Best Outfit (introduced in Season Fourteen)
 * Best Cliffhanger (introduced in Season Fourteen)

The Nominees and Winners Tally
 SPOILERS AHEAD (AKA "GO AND LISTEN TO THE EPISODE FIRST!")  Detailed below are the results of each Doscars 'ceremony' (mainly because Mark can't seem to keep track). The winner in each category is marked in green and/or in bold. A simplified list of winners or each category can be found here.

Season One
Listen here.

The inaugural DOSCARS ceremony presented seven awards, all selected from 27 nominees shortlisted by the Two from the first season's eight stories.

Season Two
Listen here.

The second ceremony celebrated the nine stories of the second season. A total of 31 nominees vied for an award in the seven categories.

Season Three
Listen here.

For the first time, the ceremony was 'broadcast' from a couple of memorable locations from the season, with Mark hosting from the top of the 'Post Office Tower in London', and Sarah aboard 'Mavic Chen's private yacht'. There were 24 nominees in the six categories announced; the Two forgot to award the Doscar for Best Story. Mark revealed the winner at the Season Four Doscars when announcing the subsequent award in the same category; the nominees were not discussed.

Season Four
Listen here.

A total of 29 nominees were announced in the seven categories, this time at a ceremony held in the 'throneroom of the Emperor Dalek'.

Season Five
Listen here.

From a ceremony held in the 'theatre section of the Wheel', and brought to you courtesy of the London Underground, the Two announced the seven winners from 27 nominees.

Season Six
Listen here.

'The Gond Learning Hall' hosted the ceremony for the Doscars for Season Six, with 27 nominees across the seven categories awarded.

The 1960's All Stars Awards
Listen here.

In celebration of reaching the end of the Sixties Era of Doctor Who, the Two, joined by special guest Joe from The Nimon Be Praised Podcast, revisited their previous decisions and awarded the Best of the Best, along with a few extra categories. For the first time, the winners were chosen by ballot from the TwoWatchWho Buymeacoffee contributors. It was also during this ceremony that the Two realised that, even though the award was named for him, Ian had never actually won the Sir Ian Chesterton Heroic Moment Award.

Season Seven
Listen here.

For the first (and we thought only) time, Mark experimented with announcing the nominations and awards from various locations across the season's stories, much to Sarah's chagrin. As a carry over from the All Star Awards, the TwoWatchWho BuyMeACoffee contributors were charged with voting for the winner of the Sir Ian Chesterton Award; a process that has been continued since.

Season Eight
Listen here.

This season the ceremony was 'broadcast' from UNIT HQ, with 27 nominees vying for the seven Doscars.

Season Nine
Listen here.

At the 'edge of time and space', the Two announced the winners for the Season Nine Doscars, with the shortest ever list of nominees, numbering 25.

Season Ten
Listen here.

Broadcast from the planet Spiridon, the Doscars ceremony for season 10 saw the Two once again separated to host; Mark stayed comfortable in the kitchens while Sarah was relegated to the 'Ice Bar' in the icecano to serve vodka to the winners. Once again, Sarah was not amused. With the 10th Anniversary episode up for a number of awards, the ceremony also featured the introduction of a new category; Icon of the Season. It was also revealed that the Two had forgotten to prepare the Best Regular award, and had to 'wing it on the night'.

Season Eleven
Listen here.

David and Richard assisted Mark with hosting duties for this episode, due to Sarah's unfortunate bout with COVID-19. The 'Three' announced the winners from Metebilis 3.

Season Twelve
Listen here.

A special ceremony of the Doscars, coming from Nerva Beacon, in celebrating Two Watch Who's 100th episode. The TwoWatchWho BuyMeACoffee contributors and companion Doctor Who Podcasters were special guests, and were invited to announce nominations and the awards.

Season Thirteen
Listen here.

Harrison Chase's mansion hosted the Doscars for Season 13, with 25 nominees across the seven awards announced, as well as the Icon of the Season Award (which was seemingly forgotten and was decided 'on the night'.)

Season Fourteen
Listen here.

Changes were afoot for the Doscars Ceremony for Season 14, with two new categories introduced and awarded. Following suggestions from TWW listeners, Best Outfit and Best Cliffhanger were added to the awards roster, resulting in the largest number of nominees at a Doscars ceremony at 34. The ten awards were announced from the Palace Theatre in Victorian London.

Season Fifteen
Listen here.

With the twists and turns of Season Fifteen behind them, the Two returned to the (surprisingly big, considering) crew break room on Titan Base for the party that is the DOSCARS Ceremony. Unfortunately, in the fluster of sorting through 32 nominees for the larger collection of awards, the Two neglected to award the Icon of the Season again.
