TV Gal Awards and CC Promotion!

[Platypus]

TV Gal (who has generally been quite kind to and a big booster of Charisma Carpenter) is staging her annual "2004 Amy Awards". As always, she is letting fans choose the categories, the nominees and eventually the winners. Right now she's at the "nominate categories" stage, and instead of doing it by e-mail she's tallying posts at the Zap2It TV Gal message board.

This year to save me from carpal tunnel syndrome, we are going to try something a little different. You have until Friday, June 11 at 5 p.m. to post your Amy Award category suggestions to the TV Gal message boards. You will basically be voting for categories via the message board. So if you see a category you like post to that topic. The categories with the most postings will be the final 12 categories.

Can we rally together to make sure that CC gets a chance for some publicity here? Keep in mind, these aren't supposed to be the traditionally staid categories of "Best Actor", "Best Actress", etc. But someone has already started a thread for "Get this person their own show!", and I would LOVE to see that be a category, see Charisma nominated, and then win. Another possibility might be a category like "I'm so happy to see you again, because I missed you SO much!!" which would be for the best return of a character to a series (i.e., Cordelia in "You're Welcome").

The message board URL is here:

We have until June 11th to vote for categories, so let's try to get as many out there that can be used to accommodate CC nominations!

I nominated a best kiss category (thinking of the CC/DB kiss in "You're Welcome") via email. I can't seem to login in to the Zap2it message board.

[Penny Century]

Having a hard time logging in myself, but I'll keep trying!

[Ladystorm]

I was able to register and vote on the categories.

[Platypus]

I wasn't registered there, but once I did I had no trouble logging in. Keep trying - the voting for categories closes this Friday.

TV Gal Wants Your Nominations
(Monday, June 14 08:02 AM)
By Amy Amatangelo

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Please allow me to put this in technical writers' terms -- you guys totally rock.
I can't thank you enough for participating in the call for categories of the Amy Awards. A special shout-out to TV Gal reader Gennie who diligently helped tally the results on the message boards.

Now, remember in the Amy Awards you pick the categories, the nominations and the winners. Here are the guiding principles for the 12 categories. Out of your most popular categories, I picked 12 unique ones to give the Amy Awards some variety and 12 categories that would produce five viable nominations. I also removed any current character names from the category title since they might bias the awards (alas, every award cannot be named after Seth Cohen). I also collapsed some that were very similar into one category (hence worst guest star and worst new character are now in the same category). In some cases, I used category titles from past seasons, but when possible, I used your very clever category titles.The 12 categories are listed on the message board. Post your nominations to each category. Remember the nominations must be shows (either network or cable) from this season. Some of you may still miss "Buffy" (I know I do) but it's not eligible for any nominations this year.

Here are the 2004 Amy Award Categories:

1. Tell Me It's Not Over; aka Beloved Show (either new or seasoned) That Was Cancelled
2. The Amnesiac Cougar Award; aka Most Ridiculous Storyline or Plot Twist
3. The Bennifer Award; aka TV's Worst Couple
4. Get Off My Show; aka Worst New Character or Guest Star
5. Rewind, Let's Hear that Again Award; aka Best Quote
6. Til Death Do Us Part; aka Best Death or Character Exit
7. Emmy, We Don't Need No Stinkin' Emmy; aka Great Performance that Probably Won't Be Recognized
8. Character You Love to Hate and Hate to Love; aka Best Villain
9. Did I Have a Life Before This Show; aka Best New Show
10. I Want that Hour (or Half-hour) of My Life Back; aka Worst Episode of the Season (can include season or series finales)
11. Episode Most Worthy of an Immediate Rewind; aka Best Episode of the Season (can include season or series finales)
12. It's Like a Freaking Car Wreck; aka Best Guilty Pleasure
13. Fat Lady is Singing But Nobody Is Listening; aka Show that should be cancelled

You have until Friday, June 19 at 5 p.m. to post your Amy Award nominations to the TV Gal message boards. I'll announce the nominations next week.

What are your nominations for the 2004 Amy Awards? Post your suggestions to TV Gal message board.

I'm sorry, but the Angel quote is lame in comparison with the others nominated.

Agreed. There are far better ones, I'm sure.

And I can't help but be taken aback that Cordy's exit wasn't mention. I thought it packed quite a punch meself.

TV Gal Tears Open the Envelope

I can't say I thought the Angel quote was remotely the best, and that's not sour grapes, but congrats to Amy.

[Cordy's Bitch]

That was just ....well, underwhelming.

Sure, I liked the show, but in comparison to some of the other stuff out there it was sub-par.
