The one thing that the world does not need is another awards program. So don't expect red carpets, wild fashions and celebrity presenters for the following T-CAT Awards. The T-CAT is for Television Critics Association Tour. These fake honors are being presented in connection with the nearly two weeks I have been sitting in a hotel talking with casts and crews of new network and cable shows.

Nominees were based on those I selected. The voting, tabulated by the firm of Bentley, Bentley and Bentley, reflect only my votes. Winners will receive a solid gold thank you.

Here are this year's winners:

The What Were They Thinking Award: How about this, we have a tie. First is the midseason series "The Sarah Connor Chronicles." The series picks up where "Terminator 2" ended. Don't ask about "Terminator 3." The producers disavow all knowledege of the movie. The series is a winner in the category for a sequence that shows a high school being shot up. The first episode was shown before the tragedy at Virginia Tech. The scene will be re-shot.

Also a winner in the category is "Kid Nation." The CBS reality show looks at what 40 youngsters, the oldest being 15, do when they are dropped in a ghost town and have to create their own city government. The show was shot durng the school year so the young stars had to miss school. There were no showers and only ouside toilets. What were they thinking?

The Fashion Failure Award: Emily Proctor, one of the stars of the CBS drama "CSI: Miaimi," almost always shows up at a bloody crime scene on the show in stylish white pants and blouse. The actress has tried to get the producers to let the character wear blue jeans. So far that has not happened.

The David Caruso Award: Just like Caruso left "NYPD Blue" when the show was a hit, Mandy Patinkin has bailed on "Criminal Minds." This is his second quick exit for Patinkin. He left "Chicago Hope" while it was a top-rated series.

The He's Hot Award: Alec Baldwin told TV Critics, after accepting a real award from the group, his first meeting with "Sopranos" creator David Chase was in a men's bathroom. Baldwin was shirtless. Baldwin had rushed across New York to an appointment on one of the hottest days of the year. He was using a hand drier in the men's room to dry his shirt when Chase walked in.

And finally there is the Typo Award: Julianna Margulies, best known for her work on "ER," was in no hurry to return to a network series. I guess if you have a film hit like "Snakes on a Plane" to your credit there is little need to rush. When she got the script for the new Fox series "Canterbury's Law," an assistant had left the "o" out of Fox. Margulies knew the FX Network was doing edgy work. That was a big reason she agreed to do the series. Only later did she discover the mistake.
