Emmy's fact.

If you're the beautiful lead in a mainstream show, you won't get the nod.

From foxnews.com:
Sarah Michelle Gellar also never got an Emmy nod, despite the rave reviews she won for her starring role on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

I'm pretty sure the reason Sarah never got an Emmy nod for "Buffy" is due to the fact that she and Joss were never real "Hollywood" types. She won a Daytime Emmy for her portrayl on AMC and we all know she deserved an Emmy for countless episodes of "Buffy" as well as her performance in "I Will Remember You" on the first season of "Angel". She follows in the footsteps of people like Clint Eastwood and Mel Gibson and sooner or later her accomplishments will make the mainstream Hollywoodies take note. ;)

I'm cynical enough to believe the reason she never got a nod was because of the title of the show. Yes, I think the academy or whatever is that shallow and would never do anything as cutting edge as nominate the star of one of the most innovative and rich TV shows in the late 90's and early 00's.

Personally, I think she stepped it up quite a bit in late S5 through the end of the series. I honestly don't know how you can watch Bargaining, Afterlife, Dead Things, The Body, Normal Again, Help...so many others and not see she deserved an award.

I do hope she gets her day in the sun (although, I'm not convinced she wants it) because she *so* has it coming to her.

well she deserves an oscar that's for sure ;)

I agree with everyone's comments. Also I'm annoyed that the show it self didn't get any mainstream nods either.

I think I read somewhere that they had an Emmy nomination for Hairdressing for "Hush". If this is true it really shows how ridiculous the whole awards show is as Joss should have been nominated for his writing. If somebody knows if this is true please post and verify it.

It's true: web page Just scroll down, the Emmy's are in it's own section.

Seen what else they were nominated for? [img]graemlins/shake.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/shake.gif[/img]

Wow! :eek: They were nominated for a lot more than I realized. Joss was the one nominated for his writing in "Hush" and the Hairdressing was for "Hell's Bells" and "Beer Bad"! "Beer Bad"? They must have like Sarah's one million years B.C. look! [img]graemlins/wacked.gif[/img]
