Great to hear that Aly's getting some recognition for six years solid work. It's about bloody time.

You probably have to actually be in the opening credits to be recognized.

Willow: Yes! It's very...you know, kind of old south.
Buffy: But without the unpleasant slavery associations.

Congrats to the show and to SMG,JM, Aly, and MT you all deserve it. I hope they sweep the awards. Bummer Amber didn't get a nod.

yay for Buffy! It's good to see so much of the cast getting recognition, hopefully someday Amber will get a nod as well, all of us here know she deserves it.

What about him? *snigger*. Sorry.

As for the Amber thing, I really don't think she's been in the show long enough to be "recognised" for her work. Although, admittedly, she's done a sterling job of portraying a gay character and probably should get recognition for that.

Thanks for the info Xita! I sure hope Buffy wins something, they've had little recognition (that I know of anyway). Especially hope Aly wins
