The Emmy Awards

In addition to fun medleys, this years Emmys holds a special place in my heart. So this year they did a special award for "Most Memorable Moments on TV" for Comedy and Drama. Now, these awards weren't chosen by an academy but by actual viewers votes. Each category had 20 nominees to begin with and went through a semi-final stage (down to ten) and then a final stage where the top 5 were show as the nominees on the Emmys. The winners would be award during the telecast. The shows ranged from anything from Seinfeld to The X-Files to I Love Lucy to Roots. If it was on TV at some point in time, it was up for grabs.

The great bit was that two of my favorite shows from the late 90s-early 2000s won these awards. Friends won for the Comedy Most Memorable Moment for "The One Where Ross Finds Out". But the great moment for me was the winner of the Drama award. Now, as most of you know I' m a big "cult" show fan. I love Xena, Daria, Lost, Fringe, and I'm even a bit of a fan of Star Trek (Voyager specifically). Because these shows don't necessarily target the masses, they generally get overlooked for Emmy's. It's only once in a blue moon that they actually win anything, no matter how high quality the production of the show actually is. So when I found out that the winner of the Drama award, I was a particularly happy girl. This "Most Memorable Moment" went to the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for the season 5 finale episode "The Gift" where Buffy dies (for the second time that is). Here's where you can find the full list of who was up for the awards: Most memorable Moment Nominees. But to finish off this post, here's the Buffy Clip! (Sorry it's the best version of the scene I could find...)
