Hmm, no Amber, as could have been expected, but no Sarah, Emma, Anthony either... Guess I can live with that (with that... <wry G>)

Hmm. Anyone here a member of ATAS? We need a report. And you need to take a fellow kitten as your guest. ;)

I do think it is funny that they ask you to RSVP no later than one day after the event...

that they watch and nominate only one episode of the season, they dont watch the whole season. so, unfortunately OMWF was brilliant enough for them to get a nom even if the season as a whole sucked and the ending was horrid. i'd love it if Amber got a supporting nod for this. that would be quite cool even if ME's full of lying bastards and she deserves it after all this crap.

See that is the thing I hate the most about this season, is I love so many things and OMWF is what really hooked me. I wouldn't think that there is enough acting in OMWF to really allow the show to the voters much about the characters. Oh well, we shall find out in a month.

Rane: the way the nomination rules read they can make one nomination per category per show and actors and producers can both nominate with actors nomination taking precident over producers in the same category. so would appear several eps could end up getting noms for different categories?
In any case I'd love to see amber get a supporting nom but I have to wonder who would nominate her over hannigan or MT since both of them are regulars and amber is a guest star



their webpage on "events" says:
"These include behind-the-scenes evenings with the most popular and acclaimed shows currently on the air."

do these idiots really think buffy a show with sinking ratings on a weblet no less that has been universally dissed this year by the few critics who bother to pay it any attention, is popular and acclaimed? I wonder how much FOX/UPN had to "lobby" for this little event? Interesting thing the "star" who has just come out in the media as NOT wanting to move from WB, NOT wanting to do a movie and knowing NOTHING about the cartoon/wanting to voice the cartoon, and NOT at the AFI awards is also NOT at this little gathering. I'd say SMG is making a statement alright.

Academy of Television Arts & Sciences
Activities Committee

Co-chairs:
Conrad Bachmann and Bryan Byrd

Throughout the year, the Television Academy presents activities for members and their guests at the Academy's state-of-the-art Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre. These include behind-the-scenes evenings with the most popular and acclaimed shows currently on the air. For a look at past activities, click here. The Activities Committee also presents workshops and seminars on employment, career and social issues, as well as conferences on emerging technologies and information systems.
All activities are subject to change, check back often for updates. All events and activities are provided by the Academy as a service to our members. No endorsement of a program, or contents therein, should be implied.

RSVPs are only accepted after invitations to an event have been mailed. And we DO NOT accept reservations by phone. You may RSVP by fax, snail mail or e-mail to activities@emmys.org. Also note that we distribute tickets in excess of theatre capacity -- admission is not guaranteed. Admission to all events are on a first-come, first-served basis. All events will have a no-host parking fee of $2.
Unfortunately, our theatre holds only 600; this allows only 300 members plus one guest to attend. At this time we are considering larger venues for future events that exceed the capacity of our theatre. We are doing our best to accommodate our 11,000 members and hope to rectify this as soon as possible.

[/quote:eff361e50b]Actually that's not really true. Submissions before nominations are purely voluntary and sort of like advertising for a nomination. Much like the OMWF DVD that went out as a glorified "For Your Consideration" ad. Once a show is nominated then 6 episode from the season are submitted to the voting panel for consideration. Nominated actors submit one episode of their choice. You can read all the procedures and rules at emmys.org

Good luck hellcat in scoring some tickets, and I too would be very interested to see what spin comes out of ME/actors with this little presentation. I also found it interesting too that Sarah isn't part of the panel.

I think Sarah may still be in New York. She was on Regis & Kelly yesterday and Freddie was on today. I am also very interested to see if the panel discusses the Tara/Willow situation at all. Especially Alyson.

I think from events like this that have been done in the past they do entertain questions from the audience. If one of us gets in be ready and choose your words carefully.

Hmmmmm im thinking if Amber cant get an emmy nod for supporting actress as a regular, the ballot should be stuffed for an emmy nod as a guest star for Entropy..She was so awesome in that last scene, the whole episode...Well, here's hoping she gets something :love

Good luck to anyone trying to score tickets. I'm very interested in what they will be saying. Even though I'm pretty sure it'll end up as more PR bullshit.

Hopefully some faithful little kitten will get in and some intelligent questions will be asked.

Could any of the male Kittens go and hang outside and pass out copies of the Lesbian Cliche?' That way, folks wouldn't perceive the guys as "man-hating" dykes. :evil
Nah. Prolly not a good suggestion (but it made me feel better! :) )
Never mind!

Oh hellcat I am so excited for you, and also for us "kitties" getting a chance to hear what is said. Have fun and I hope the panel's answers gives us a better sense of what happened in season 6, and maybe a little look into the future for next year. Also yeah it would be great of you could get some pics too!

You might want to take some time to think of a carefully worded question that does not come across as sounding overly emotional or defensive. I am pretty sure these events include questions from the audience, and I for one would like to see some pointed questions asked.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Ah hellcat, you're a star. Lucky you, and yes, I'm excited for you as well. Hee!

Agreed though; a well-worded question would be appropriate rather than something that buys into the image a lot of [b:01dcd9060d] other[/b:01dcd9060d] people seem to have of us these days...

what would you ask if there?

Postby AutumnT » Mon Jun 17, 2002 11:56 am

I might ask why a show that has always been such a positive show for women decided to change its tone so sharply this year and leave all its female characters degraded, despairing, or dead.

Or I might ask why it was important to the writers to destroy the only (and very positively received) long term gay lesbian relationship on television and what impact they thought that might have on gay youth.

Or I might ask why, when given the state of the world today and the terrible events that have shaken the U.S. they would take a show that has always been funny through its darkest and most depressing season when viewers are desperately looking for positive messages. And why did they seem to think that the audience "needed" that as they have stated.

Something along those lines.
