yendiOkay, the Emmy's don't go to good shows, anyway (hello? How often has The Simpsons won for best comedy? And name a single year from 1993-1999 when it wasn't the best one). But they could at least let the voters screw the show, instead of fucking it up in advance.
For those who don't want to follow the link, here's what it says:
A LOT AT STAKE The Academy accidentally omitted ''Buffy'''s acclaimed musical episode, ''Once More With Feeling,'' from ballots
Vampires and demons know better than to mess with Buffy, but apparently the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences didn't get the memo. The Academy accidentally omitted ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'''s acclaimed musical episode, ''Once More With Feeling,'' from Emmy nomination ballots in the drama writing category, TV Guide Online reports.
The Academy tells TV Guide that they realized their error almost immediately, and sent out an addition to the ballot. But a source at ''Buffy'''s production company tells the website that most voters will probably ignore the addition, thus dooming the episode's chances of getting nominated in that category (the show wasn't omitted in other applicable categories, such as best drama series). The Emmy nominations will be announced July 18; the ballots department at the Academy will have stakes plunged into their hearts on July 19.
