Leeard's Picks - Tubey Award Finals Round Two

Favorite Actor - Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones
As far as I'm concerned, this is the only appropriate choice. Ian Somerhalder is great as Damon and Jon Hamm is the only person that could be Don Draper, but it's gotta be Dinklage.

Favorite Actress - Maisie Williams, Game of Thrones
I was torn between Maisie and Amy Poehler. I kind of want to give it to them both because they're so different, but I had to go with Maisie Williams. If you've seen her cinnamon challenge video, you'll understand.

Favorite Character - Abed Nadir, Community
Oh god this is the hardest category. Obviously Tyrion, Arya, and Leslie Knope were all in the running. I picked Abed partially because he really is an awesome character and partly because I'm afraid this is the last time I'll think of Abed as an awesome character. I have no idea what the new showrunners are going to do with this weirdo.

Least Favorite Character - Ellis, Smash
Man do I hate this guy. I hate him more than Joffrey Baratheon, which is saying something. At least a) Joffrey is played by a talented actor and b) I can usually understand Joffrey's motivations. Ellis is just a horrible, horrible person.

Best Almost-Romantic-But-Not-Quite Relationship - Nick Miller and Jess Day, New Girl
This one hurt too! Massive shout-out to Arya and Gendry, because they are my real OTP, but I've already given Game of Thrones so much love here. Also Elena and Damon from The Vampire Diaries, obviously. And Castle and Beckett, but that's now the wrong category for their relationship (yay!), so I couldn't pick them for that reason.

Best Non-Romantic Friendship - Troy and Abed, Community
I was this close to picking The Liars from Pretty Little Liars, but we got to see some real depth from Troy and Abed this year, so I picked them. Also, again, because I'm afraid the new showrunners will ruin Troy and Abed and I want to show them love while I still can.

Best Family Relationship - Marshall and Lily, How I Met Your Mother
Lily can honestly be the worst person on TV occasionally, but the Eriksen marriage is one I'd like to emulate. That's love, bitch.

Supporting Actor/Actress Deserving of a Starring Role - Candice Accola, The Vampire Diaries
I think I've said this before, but if you told me during season one of TVD that Caroline would become my favorite character, I would've literally laughed in your face. She's the best now.

Best Season Finale - Castle
I wanted to pick The Vampire Diaries, because it was amazing and I loved it, but I have to go with Castle. No other episode of a show has made me cry two months after airing based on a single gif. Such a wonderful episode.

Worst Season Finale - The Office
I'm so over this show. Season 9 better be the last, because I'm sick of it. I can't bring myself to stop watching, though; I've been with it for 8 years. That's hard to give up.

Worst Single Episode, Drama - "Bombshell", Smash
Honestly, it's the only episode on that list that I've seen, so it was the only one I could pick.

Worst Single Episode, Comedy - "The Spanish Teacher", Glee
So, so stupid.

Best On-Screen Death Scene - Sammy the dog, Revenge
Still not over it.

  1. Just here to beg you guys to please, please recap the Gossip Girl series finale when the episode rolls around. You don't need to watch the final season because let's face it, it's sure to suck, but recap the finale! We all need closure in the awful Gossip Girl period of our lives.

    On a sidenote, remember when that show was actually good? Lol.

    1. Seasons 1-2? Yeah, they were the best.

      And remind us when it rolls around. Like, the night of, and we'll do it, haha.

    2. The only thing I want from the show is a Carter Baizen/Serena reunion. Literally. That's it; that's all I want. It won't happen, but it is and forever will be the endgame in my head. This is how I felt about Rory and Jess too. None of my ships are ever endgame. I'm still rooting for Elena and Damon, but I'm losing faith. All my OTPs are doomed. Tragedy.

    3. That's...kind of a weird Gossip Girl OTP, haha. Agree about Rory and Jess though. Elena/Damon will happen at some point, but I think Stefan will end up with her.
