Oh I know she carried the show, and she is a good actress, but I didn't quite love Buffy the character the same way you do you know? So I'd probably not have noticed.
Exactly. While I know shows like Supernatural or say...Doctor Who if it was an American show are more genre then anything else, that doesn't mean they wouldn't deserve to be looked at. Or even shows that aren't so good but have good actors in them, it happens.
But it usually is the same shows over and over again getting nods. House, 30 Rock, Mad Men. :shrug: They need some new blood.
