Ern’s picks for round 2 of Twop’s Tubey Awards

• Best new show- Girls (honorable mention to Homeland)
• Best returning show- Breaking Bad (for the finale alone)
• Best drama- Breaking Bad (but almost picked Game of Thrones)
• Best almost-romantic-but-not-quite relationship- Nick Miller and Jess Day, New Girl (I wanted to pick like ten of these couples)
• Best non-romantic friendship- Abed and Troy, Community (definitely NOT Walter and Jesse, TWOP, but this was a hard category to pick from too)
• Best Family Relationship- George and Tessa, Suburgatory
• Best Guest Star- Carrie Preston, The Good Wife
• Best Musical Moment on a Scripted Show- Teach Me How to Understand Christmas, Community (I thought of this before even reading the categories)
• Best Musical Moment on a Reality Show- Lindsay Pavao’s “Say Aah” on The Voice
• Worst Reality TV Moment- Tyra Banks sucks Tyson Beckford's thumb in her Modelland reenactment (America's Next Top Model). So many of these choices were deserving, but I still have nightmares about that one.
• Favorite actor- Aaron Paul, Breaking Bad. The boy needs more recognition for playing such an unintelligent character so convincingly and so that he’s the heart of the show. He’s like the angry, criminal Forrest Gump. There needs to be a spin-off where Jesse hunts child killers (HM: Matt LeBlanc, Episodes)
• Favorite actress-  Claire Danes, Homeland “My Kingdom for a green pen!”
• Worst Crime Against Fashion- Kurt's midriff baring, one shoulder poncho sweater thing (Glee)
• Most egregious product placement- Disneyland (Modern Family)
• Most Unwelcome New Character- Rory, Glee. Hate to say it. Love you though, Damian.
• Most Welcome New Character- Jessica Tang (Southland). I bet Leeard picks J’aquen Hagar. Level of knowledge that I probably didn’t spell that right = 10/10. Level of interest = 0.
• Most Appalling Reality Star- All of them, but I gave it to Paris Hilton (The World According to Paris), because she wasn’t even entertaining enough to get viewers.
• Most Appealing Reality Star- Out of the choices they gave us, Phillip Phillips (American Idol). They didn’t give us much variety though.
• Worst single episode of a comedy- "Extraordinary Merry Christmas" (Glee). I couldn’t believe that episode.
• Worst Single Episode of a Drama- "This Is The Way The World Ends" (Dexter)
• Supporting Actor/Actress deserving of a starring role- Jewel Staite (The L.A. Complex and Firefly)
• Best Reality Smackdown- Nikki calls Lindsay out on having a fake emotional moment (The Glee Project)
• Most wrongfully underused character- Jaime Lannister (Game of Thrones). But, as someone who has read the first three books, I understand why.
• Most cringeworthy moment- Jim Bob Duggar tries to evangelize to an atheist Scottish street performer (19 Kids and Counting). I saw this on youtube. Sooooo awkward.
• Best on-screen death scene- Gus Fring (Breaking Bad) No freaking contest.
• Most Ludicrous Plotline- Kristina drove three hours to stop her niece of legal age from having consensual sex with an unwed city council candidate (Parenthood). I picked this, because I was the angriest about it. But everything on that list was also valid, especially Sue’s pregnancy.
• Worst Payoff- Mona is A, or is she? (Pretty Little Liars) Sorry, I hated it. The whole reveal, Mona’s acting, the fact that people associated with the show TOLD US it wasn’t going to be Mona, and how predictable it was.

Also, I'm one season through Supernatural. So far, it's cheesy, but everyone assures me it gets better. I liked the finale. I know lots of y'all have been wanting one of us to get into this show for a long time. Dean > Sam.
