Monday 20 September 2004, by Anonymous : Ooh! that’s cool.Thursday 23 September 2004, by Rachel : Didn’t "Buffy" win an Emmy for The Body? And wasn’t it nominated for Hush? It may not be big prizes, but I do belive we have some prizes at our hand, except for the "Buffy" award. Of course, what the series really deservs is the Best Dramatic Series Emmy, I was really disappointed the whole Emmy on Sunday, seeing medium series win so many awards. Saturday 25 September 2004, by Anonymous : Racheal: Amazingly, the Emmy voters managed to ignore The Body, one of the most gripping hours of television ever. The only major Emmy (meaning, something besides make-up or special effects) the show was ever nominated for was Outstanding Writing for Hush. For shame, Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. For shame.Monday 27 September 2004, by Ditto : Buffy has received NINE nominations. (I found the relevant link mid-post, so the following is somewhat redundant if you click the link.) I could have sworn I read somewhere that Once More With Feeling was nominated for Writing (or perhaps musical score...), but there was a mix-up in the ballot delivery. Apparently, the ballots were sent out to the votes sans-Buffy, and then a little card came in the mail a few days later - "Oh, yeah, and OMWF from Buffy from Joss Whedon." Obviously, that wasn’t going to jump into anyone’s voting box, since they had probably made their decision. Seriously, this has to be one of the best-written episodes ever. Joss wrote and composed all the music himself, PLUS this wasn’t just a schlock musical. It’s quite in vogue to just throw in an episode where everyone sings for no reason. This actually had a cause for the singing, and it advanced the storyline loads. Since the first major one, Bitter Suite in Xena, everyone jumps on the bandwagon. Half of the time they don’t do their own vocals, as was done with OMWF. These comments are an anwser to this article : And the "Buffy" Goes To... - A New Award Is Born ?
