Buffy & Sarah Michelle Gellar in the 25 Biggest Emmy Snubs

3. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER

Believe it or not, kids, before Lost, Emmy didn’t always understand shows with fanciful premises.

22. SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR

Can you believe it!? I guess it’s not too surprising that SMG was never nominated. The closest this classic ever got to a major nomination was a writing nod for the genius Joss Whedon (and the poor guy didn’t even win). But if there was one person that deserved that little golden angel it was Gellar (duh), who played Buffy Summers as a high school girl all high school kids could relate to. Sure, the goths may have claimed her, but Buffy blurred the lines of cliques and social circles and played into a fantasy any high schooler would envy: superpowers + important mission in life.
