Individual Awards

This is my favorite part of the event. The time when I give out single rewards. You'll catch on the idea fast, but with only five major awards, this things gets slow. But there are always minor awards, and getting these still matter. So on we go into the awards. Enjoy.

Best Acting for the Season: Michael Emerson (Ben on Lost)~ Easy choice. First off, in case you didn't know this he won the Emmy for best guest star in a tv show for his job on "The Practice" and his acting has not decreased at all. He cleaned up in this award.
Runner Ups: Kyle Chandler (FNL), Michael Ealy (Sleeper Cell)
Best Acting in a Single Episode: Matthew Fox (Jack on Lost for "Through the Looking Glass)~ Jack usually wins the best acting award, but this year he had a horrible flashback, and then slipped a bit behind the scenes with Juliet. Not until the finale did he dominate like we are used to with his beautiful flash forward. Well done
Runners Up: Michael Ealy (Sleeper Cell: Fitna)
Most Improved Actor throughout the season: Adrian Palicki (Tyra, FNL) ~Did you know TV Guide is pushing her for best supporting actress. At the beggining of the show, she was horrible and by far the weakest link (although Lyla takes that away later on), however by the end she was a great character. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think she's Emmy worthy, but easily the most improved.
Runner Up: None
Best Newcomer: Gaius Charles (Smash, FNL)~ Most actors come from somewhere, but there are a few who are getting their first real tv gigs, and ace them. For example everyone on Lost has done something before, but Gaius Charles is completely new to the scene, and looks familiar to no one. Same with almost every single one of the kid actors besides Minka Kelly who has a little history but not alot.
Runner Up: Zach Gillford (Saracen, FNL)
Best Guest Star Within a show (meaning only one episode): Walter Perez (Reyes, FNL)~In this day and age there are not alot of one episode guest stars besides on procedurals, but I enjoyed the angry defencemen, even if he did play into a few stereotypes. Only appeared in one episode, so he fits the bill in this simple award.
Runner Up: None
Best Couple Within a TV Show: Skylar and Dale (Sleeper Cell): ~See, I don't hate all television relationships. They started out seperate, but the show never forced this relationship on us. It wasn't a weakly discussion, it practically was never put into the show much at all. And in the end they were togther, and guess what. They never spent a single second showing them fighting or not getting along. Great couple
Runner Up: Darwin and Gail (Sleeper Cell:AT)
Best TV Mother: Kirsten Cohen (OC)~Possibly my all time favorite TV mother, I will be sad to see her go
Runner Up: Tami Taylor (FNL)
Best TV Father: Noah Bennit (Heroes)~Well, this was an easy choice. The only good actor in Heroes really, and by far the best father on television this year, because he absolutely loved his daughter. Now this was a strong year, despite the lack of perrenial winner Michael of Lost, but he was the rightful winner.
Runner Up: Sandy Cohen (OC), Harry Morgan (Dexter)
Best Kid Actor (12 or Younger): Jae Head (Bo on FNL)~ By far the youngest winner of this award ever, but he was amazing at only 7. I loved that little kid and his relationship with Riggins.
Runner Up: Noah Gray-Cabey (Micah on Heroes)
Best Television Family: The Cohens (OC)~This is an easy one. They were such a perfect and enjoyable family even with all of their drama. They belonged together. Its sad that for the first time in awhile this award is up for grabs, but it will be.
Runner Up: The Taylors (FNL)
Best Fight: Mikhaal and Jin/Kate/Locke (Lost)~Weak year for the fighting department, but hey, thats what Ryan and Luke perfected three years ago. The orginal fight in the beautifully written Enter 77 was not too chereographed (a problem Alias had) but wasn't lackluster either, unlike the rest of the choices.
Runner Up: Darwin and Russel (Sleeper Cell:AT)
Worst Couple Within a TV Show: Morris and Chloe O'Brien (24)~This isn't what you expected, but as painful as Jim and Pam was, this was just so much worse, because this was pointless, disturbing, and once again pointless.
Runner Up: Jim and Pam (The Office)
Best Television Animal: Mr.Muggles (Heroes):That dog was everyones popular pick for a changeling, even though it never happened. He was just a cute dog. Animals don't really populate the shows I watch, but I will always have this award.
Runner Up: Vincent (Lost)
Show I wish I watched when orginally shown: Sleeper Cell: American Terror~ Easy choice. If I watched my DVD two weeks earlier, these awards would look alot different, but luckily for alot of shows, this did not happen.
Runners Up: 30 Rock, Veronica Mars
Best Fan Group: Jericho~ To be quite honest, this award was only created so I could once again congratulate this super human effort. You know what I liked best about these fans who create an insane website (www.jericholives.com) to try and save their show. That the most important thing is to be nice and polite. And its true. So my hats off, you are great people, cause anger solves nothing (trust me, on the stories of the year event, there will be alot more about this)
Runner Up: Lost (Nice fangroup, but wasn't even close)
Most Disapointing New Show: Vanished~ I enjoyed the Nine at least a bit, but Vanished is the first time that a show I consistantly watched was cancelled and I didn't care. I mean, this was the show I was most excited coming into the season, but failed the most
Runner Up: None
Most Disapointing Returning Show: 24 ~This was a tough call between two, but 24 edged it out because the fact that it started so well, and just became a disaster.
Runner Up: The Office
Best Music Within a Series: Jericho~ This was one as soon as they played "World" (FfF) at a key moment, and then fans started quoting it themselves. Week and week out they end the episode with great songs (The Coldplay song for Johnny Cash for one example).
Runner Up: None
Show I am Saddest to See Go: OC~ Well, Jericho had this award all wrapped up, but I am sure they are happy that they don't anymore. OC had to go sometime, and it went out on top like it should. The final scene, absolutely perfect.
Runner Up: None
Best Entire Cast on a show: House MD~ An easy choice. Even with Foremans slight decline within the season, it still has the strongest cast from top to bottom out of any show.
Runner Up: Sleeper Cell
Best Special Effects: 24~ Despite the weak season, they still love to blow stuff up, and make it look fancy. Every other show has some weakness in this regard. Action scenes still look best in this.
Runner Up: Lost
Best Network: NBC~ Ah yes, an award that matters. This was Fox's award last year, but NBC put out two of the best new shows, and survived on that alone. ABC wasn't close with only a single show, and all of Fox's shows declined or were cancelled. CBS was fine, but this was NBC's all along.
Runner Up: CBS
Best Night of Television: Wednesday~ Just think about what was on this night... Lost... Friday Night Lights... Jericho, and heck even the Nine was here for awhile. This was by far the most dominant night. The ironic part, one of these shows is definitely not returning to the night, and the other two aren't scheduled yet. So the dominant Wednesday could only have one year (although, Gossip Girl is on Wednesdays).
Runner Up: Monday (Heroes, 24, Prison Break)
Most Promising New Show Next Year: Gossip Girl (CW)~ So, this is obviously a premeditated award, but all the trailers for next years shows have been released (and I've watched them all), and they look absolutely terrible. Now, don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean much, cause Vanished won this last year and we saw how that worked out. But this show by the OC creator looks good, and its based off books (with Kristen Bell) So for now its the bright spot
Runner Up: Pushing Daisies (based on critics alone)
Best Show Someone Else Introduced Me Too: How I Met Your Mother~ This show is tolerable, and I have fit it into my summer schedule. Can you believe that this is the only show anyone introduced me to this year... Its quite sad really, but oh well. Its decent so congrats to Thiell for finding it.
Runner Up: Sadly none.
Best Gameshow: 1 vs 100~ It's the gameshow that actually has questions involved. This year was filled with horrors like Identity, and simplic mumbo jumbo like Deal or No Deal, but behind all that (and the terrible host) 1 vs 100 is actually pretty good, and entertaining.
Runner Up: None
Best Reality Show Contestant: Ozzy (Survivor)~ The problem with this award is basically I am choosing my favorite character from both seasons of Survivor on during this year. While Fiji was better, Ozzy was my favorite. So I there you go.
Runner Up: Dreamz
Best Scene of the Season: The Brig (Lost)~ This is such a specific question, that its hard to handle, but the best scene of a TV show this season has to be when Sawyer killed his dad. It was monumental for the shows movement, and more importantly for Sawyers character development. For this season, it was the best scene.
Runner Up: Smash's Walkout on FNL

And the most important individual award of all:
The Boone Memorial Award (Best Televised Death): Charlie (Lost)~ A very tough call this year, but Charlies death in the finale was fantastic. Well acted, well set up, and very symbolic. Now, don't get me wrong. This award is named after the greatest TV death of alltime, and this still doesn't hold a candle to Boone (or even last years winner, Westmoreland of PB) but Charlies death did the job well
Runners Up: Eden McCain (Heroes), Tom (Lost)
