Critics' choice: Ahsan Khan (Marasim), Hamza Ali Abbasi (Pyaray Afzal)
If only we could just vote for all of them. Pakistan has such a pool of amazing talent they should all take a bow.
However, because we must choose a few above the rest.
Ahsan Khan for Daud of Marasim, who like the rest of us weaker mortals learns humility all too late, who despite his best efforts is never able to make any of his dear ones happy.
Ahsan Khan has saved himself from becoming the generic hero by proving he is a fantastic actor once again in this literally mesmerising performance.
Hamza Ali Abbasi for all the reasons listed above, he is now and forever our iconic Afzal Bhai.
Honourable mentions: Adnan Siddiqui (Mere Humdum Mere Dost), Faisal Qureshi (Bashar Momin)
Tired of the demanding, petty men that most of our dramas present, Farhat Ishtiaq's heroes are like a dream come true and Adnan Siddiqui played Haider Masoud in Mere Humdum Mere Dost like a well tuned instrument. Suave, handsome, kind and honourable - if only we could see more like him on screen.
Faisal Qureshi for making a dark character of Bashar Momin so sad, so desperate that even as we watch him crush and destroy one character after another, we feel his pain. This was an extremely difficult role that only few could pull off; as usual Faisal made it look easy.
