Buffy Awards & Nominations - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Here's a space to keep track of all the nominations Buffy receives and if they should ever actually win an award.

obcooke · 11th June 2002, 01:21 AM

The Saturn award nominations, by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films has Buffy and cast listed in some of the top catagories.

Best Network Television Series:
---------------------------------------
Buffy
Angel
Dark Angel
Enterprise
Smallville
The X Files

Best Actor In A Television Series
---------------------------------------
David Boreanaz – Angel
Richard Dean Anderson – Stargate SG-1
Scott Bakula – Enterprise
Ben Browder – Farscape
Robert Patrick – The X Files
Tom Welling – Smallville

Best Actress In A Television Series
-------------------------------------------
Sarah Michelle Gellar – Buffy
Jessica Alba – Dark Angel
Gillian Anderson – The X Files
Claudia Black – Farscape
Yancy Butler – Witchblade
Kristin Kreuk – Smallville

Best Supporting Actor In A Television Series
-------------------------------------------------------
James Marsters – Buffy
Christopher Judge – Stargate SG-1
Michael Rosenbaum – Smallville

----------------------------------------------------------
Alyson Hannigan – Buffy
Michelle Trachtenberg – Buffy
Jolene Blalock – Enterprise

Amanda Tapping – Stargate SG-1

The last one is a little strange. Best Supporting Actress - Alyson, sure, but Michelle? I'm not a Dawn-basher, but did she really have any scripts that would merit a Best nomination?

Talk about late news. It turns out that the Saturn awards were given out on 10June. Buffy did indeed win Best Network Television Series, just as they did in 2001.

Unfortunately, James Marsters did not win Best Supporting Actor as he did last year. That Lex-Luthor-guy did.

Highlander II · 13th June 2002, 04:06 AM

bad bad awards -- James should win --- (yeah - i'm being biased - esp since I haven't even seen a single episode of Smallville)

obcooke · 18th July 2002, 05:32 AM

Emmy nominations are announced later today, 18July. Chicago's Daily Herald TV writer already has his ideas on who should get one. Ted Cox hands out his own award, "Teddy" to those he thinks deserve an Emmy, but are not expected to get one.

"Best show: "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was the best series on TV this season, in my humble opinion, so I have to give it the Teddy as best drama. Its chances of receiving an Emmy nomination are nil. (Consider that series creator Joss Whedon was left off the nomination ballot for drama writing for the musical episode "Once More With Feeling" and try telling me that's not a conspiracy.)"

The Emmy nominations are out and Buffy got NOTHING! Well, not nothing, but hardly anything.

The Emmy people accidentally left Joss' name off of the list for drama writing for the Muscial. They hastily printed and mailed new ballots with Joss on them, but most thought it would do little good. They were right, Joss has been totally ignored.

The few nominations that Buffy did get:

Outstanding Hairstyling For A Series
---------------------------------------------
Hell’s Bells
Sean Flanigan, Dept. Head Hair
Lisa Marie Rosenberg, Hairstylist
Francine Shermaine, Hairstylist
Thomas Real, Hairstylist
Linda Arnold, Hairstylist

Outstanding Makeup For A Series (Non-Prosthetic)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hell’s Bells
Todd A. McIntosh, Makeup Department Head
Jay Wejebe, Makeup Artist
Carol Schwartz, Makeup Artist
Bridgette Myre-Ellis, Makeup Artist

Outstanding Makeup For A Series (Prosthetic)
---------------------------------------------------------
Hell’s Bells
Todd A. McIntosh, Makeup Supervisor
Jay Wejebe, Makeup Artist
Carol Schwartz, Makeup Artist
Bridgette Myre-Ellis, Makeup Artist
Joel Harlow, Prosthetics
John Vulich, Prosthetics

Outstanding Music Direction
-----------------------------------
Once More With Feeling
Christophe Beck, Music Director
Jesse Tobias, Music Director

obcooke · 25th July 2002, 02:28 AM

Many media critics and reviewers are commenting on how irrelevant the Emmy nominations are to ground-breaking television. Buffy is often mentioned as one of the best of the ignored.

----------------

Time Magazine

All in all, there were more surprisingly just nominations than egregious snubs — though we might as well admit that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (which is wittier than "The West Wing," more suspenseful than "Law & Order" and more inventive than the slick "CSI") could cure cancer and not get a thank-you from Emmy.

----------------

The Miami (Florida, USA) Herald

Something's fangtastically wrong in Emmyland

Say it loud, once more, with feeling: Buffy was robbed.

...

Still, when people in the industry choose the best of TV, you'd think they'd at least spare a couple of real nominations for the single best show of the year...

...

And yet the most astonishing, entertaining hour (hour plus, actually) of TV in the past year slips by virtually unnoticed. Nothing here is real; nothing here is right. Buffy the Vampire Slayer's musical episode, Once More, With Feeling, registers a paltry outstanding music direction nomination. Nice for the musical directors. A stake through the aspirations of writer/director Joss Whedon, the beating creative heart of Buffy, the only TV writer brave and clever enough to use horror as one great big wonderful metaphor for growing up.

Whedon, who learned to read music and play the piano just so he could write a musical episode, has been snubbed before...

...

...After six years of being Buffy, Gellar keeps getting better. And the supporting actor category surely could have spared one of The West Wing's four spots to Buffy's sparring partner James Marsters, who as the vampire Spike has become the glue that holds the show together.

...

...speaking of brave, Gellar deserves a nomination just for having the guts to sing her own part). Spike rocks out on top of a coffin. The songs are better and far more clever than most of the ones you'll hear on Broadway these days.

And yet these Emmy boneheads don't even bother to nominate this genre-rattling episode in the music and lyrics category...

...

SOMETHING SPECIAL

Look, Sex and the City is hilarious, and Michael Chiklis kicks serious butt on The Shield. But Once More, With Feeling is TV of a different sort, something that comes along once in a lifetime and should not be buried but celebrated and rewarded.

-----------------------------

The Sacramento (California, USA) Bee

The worst Emmy snub was, unfortunately, the usual one: Voters apparently refuse to consider WB shows, or any young, stylish series like "Gilmore Girls" or UPN's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

For what it's worth, "Buffy" struggled some this season, but creator Joss Whedon still turned in one of the best hours of TV all year with a musical episode that didn't get a nod for writing, directing or even music and lyrics.

-------------------------

TV Guide

But what would Emmy season be without a few glaring omissions. Among them... perennial also-ran Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which moved to UPN last season and still can't get arrested. "Buffy's only noms were for hairstyle, makeup and music direction," sighs O'Neil (Emmy expert Tom O'Neil, host of awards website GoldDerby.com). "Last year it didn't get any, so I guess this is better than none."

Tell that to the show's creator, Joss Whedon, whose acclaimed musical episode "Once More With Feeling" was virtually snubbed. (The fact that it was left off the original ballot in the writing category couldn't have helped.) "The musical episode was not nominated for directing, writing or music and lyrics," says O'Neil. "That's shocking." (TV Guide critic Matt Roush) adds that Buffy should consider switching networks yet again. "If Buffy aired on HBO, it would be a frontrunner."

Sidhe · 30th July 2002, 02:04 AM

:erm: ...yeah...anyway..

I think my fav quote you found was:

Quote:

TOO TRUE!

:naughty: Joss should include a few of those peoples as vamps that get dusted in a Big way!

not saying he would...ya know,..try to exact revenge..cause he's a way better person than them anyway

The 2002 Hugo Award nominations were announced recently.

Buffy was nominated in the catagory of BEST DRAMATIC PRESENTATION.

The nominees are:
------------------------
Buffy the Vampire Slayer "Once More, With Feeling"
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Monsters, Inc.
Shrek

Pretty good company, eh? An episode from a TV show is elevated to compete with a host of high-dollar, fantastically-successful feature films.

Hopefully, Joss will feel some compensation for the Emmy snub by this recognition.

Voting for the Hugo's has already been closed and the winners will be announced at the ConJose Sci-Fi convention, in Sunnydale... eh, I mean Sunnyvale, CA at the beginning of Sept.

[Edited later to say: Sorry, the convention is in San Jose, the address of the staff running the convention is in Sunnyvale.]

Now I'm not sure which one I want to win. If the categories were split for Tv and movies then I wouldn't have a problem.

VAMPette · 17th August 2002, 11:55 AM

A bit off topic here so I'll say sorry in advance...

I think we should have our own Buffy awards - you know -

Best fight sequence
Best kiss
Funniest moment
Best villian

etc. you get the idea. Anybody else up for that?

obcooke · 19th August 2002, 01:26 PM

[VAMPette: I think we should have our own Buffy awards... Best fight sequence;Best kiss...]

I have a head-start on that. In the "Top 5 Fav Buffy Eps?" thread, in explaining my picks.

Becoming - Best episode, Best Finale

The Gift - The second best finale. The best one-on-one fight.

Anne - The best Buffy vs. a whole gang of bad guys fight.

and to add to that:

Best Villian - hands down, Angelus with Faith a close second and Spike third.

Funniest Moment - so many - I think I laughed hardest and most consistantly over the Faith Christmas Special from "Faith, Hope and Trick", but the silent briefing by Giles in the classroom from "Hush" was a great comedy bit that lasted longer than a moment.

obcooke · 9th September 2002, 11:29 PM

A columnist for Variety, (www.variety.com) the Hollywood trade newspaper, came up with her list of top TV dramas (USA only).

Joyce Millman's Top 10 TV dramas series of all time
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. The Sopranos
2. Hill Street Blues
3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
4. Homicide: Life on the Street
5. Twin Peaks
6. thirtysomething
7. My So-Called Life
8. The Rockford Files
9. Gunsmoke
10. Law & Order

Then they decided to take a survey of dozens of TV critics.

VARIETY poll of favorite drama of all time
---------------------------------------------------
1. The Sopranos
2. Hill Street Blues
3. Homicide: Life on the Street
4. Six Feet Under
5. St. Elsewhere
6. thirtysomething
7. Twin Peaks
8. NYPD Blue
9. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
10. The West Wing

(It's nice to see Buffy finally beating The West Wing at something.)

And in the most fitting vote all, Buffy was the #1 "most under-rated drama of all time"
