Nathan Hoobler · Post by **Nathan Hoobler** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 1:33 pm

All,

The Soda Fountain and AIOHQ are getting ready to hold their traditional “End of Season Awards” for the Fall 2005 season. We’re looking for nominations in the following categories:

Best Actor
Best Actress
Best Scene

We’re also looking for unique categories. Last season, we did "Best Moral." Should we continue that category or do a new one? Your thoughts?

As a reminder, here are the episodes that aired this fall:

Odyssey Sings!
Back to Abnormal
Prisoners of Fear, Part 1
Prisoners of Fear, Part 2
Prisoners of Fear, Part 3
The Business of Busyness
All-Star Witness
Always
Tales of a Small-Town Thug
A Christmas Conundrum
Silent Night

Thanks for the input and we look forward to getting everyone’s votes!

Nathan Hoobler & Shadowpaw

I think we're supposed to nominate the best actor and actress for their performance in a specific show.

Oh...I didn't know that. Is that true?

Well it's not mandatory... but it definitely helps if you say "Will Ryan - Prisoners of Fear I" so we have a reference for what show you think he deserves a best actor nod for. For example, I would nominate Jess Harnell for some shows where he plays Wooton, but I wouldn't for some where he plays a character on Kid's Radio.

Oh, ok. Thanks for you help. But, I think that Eugene was the best male actor in all of the episodes...is that okay?

When they put it up to vote, they'll put something like "Will Ryan as Eugene in 'Prisoners of Fear' " or something like that.

Nominees for Best Actor

Bart Rathbone in "Odyssey Sings"
Grady in "Back to Abnormal"
Eugene Meltsner in "POF, Part 2"
Gobir for "POF, Part 3"
Tom Riley in "A Christmas Conundrum"
John Avery Whittaker in "Silent Night"

Nominees for Best Actress

Connie Kendall in "Odyssey Sings"
Tamika Washington in "Odyssey Sings"
Katrina Shanks in "POF, Part 2"
Aubrey Shepard for "Always"
Bethany Shepard for "Always"
Liz Horton in "Tales of a Small Town Thug"

Nominees for Best Scene

Harlow Doyle sings a 27-Second Opera in "Odyssey Sings"
Wooton Bassett sings an Ode to Macaroni in "Odyssey Sings"
Eugene connects the dots, and realises that his parents may be alive in "POF, Part 1"
Yoseph stops Gobir just in time for Eugene and Katrina to get away, in "POF, Part 3"
Gobir makes a crucial decision in "POF, Part 3" weither to tell the truth to Kwame about the bridge, or not.
Ben and Aubrey spend their last father-daughter moment together in "Always"
Eugene realises he is doomed to be recognised as he discovers the gas leak in the Odyssey Middle School in "Tales of a Small Town Thug".
Eugene explains to Grady the true meaning of gift-giving in "A Christmas Conundrum"
Whit and Lester walk off to spend Christmas together bearing many gifts in "Silent Night".

I believe that "Best Moral" should still apply as a part of this year's awards. If nothing else, it forces the fans to think about what the episodes have tried to teach them, and reinforces what they've already learned. Afterall, the writer deserves an award when they're able to communicate their lesson/moral inside a story, better then someone else.

I can't remember far enough back to nominate much... but the scene with Jason, Janna, Jenny, and Whit after Jerry's death in Silent Night deserves a nomination for Best Scene for sure.

Ditto. Very tough choice, they are both excellent episodes.

STRYPER · Post by **STRYPER** » Fri Dec 23, 2005 1:16 am

Wait, are we to nominate the ACTOR (Will Ryan, Ed Walker etc) or the character (Eugene, Tom etc)?

I'll go with actor since that's what I believe Nathan wanted...

Best Actor:
-Paul Herlinger (Silent Night)
-Will Ryan (Prisoners of Fear, part 1 especially but really all of them)

Best Scene
-Christmas Conundrum (when Whit ties the gospel to Christmas)
-Christmas Conundrum (when Eugen ties the gospel to Christmas in the next scene with Grady)
-Prisoners of Fear (when Eugene finds out his father is alive)

Best Moral if we decide to do it
That we can never repay Jesus for his gift (Christmas Conundrum)

BEST SCENE: Whit and Jana's second phone conversation in Silent Night. Also, I believe D.J. Harner(?) (is that right?) deserves a nomination for BEST ACTRESS for pulling off the part of Jana (in Silent Night) so well after so many years, even over the phone!

For POF, 1, 2, and 3, best actor Will Ryan, best actress whoever plays Katrina.

Oba-rai · Post by **Oba-rai** » Sat Dec 24, 2005 12:24 pm

Best Actor: Will Ryan -- A Christmas Conundrum
Best Actress: Whoever plays Katrina -- POF parts 1 - 3
Best Scene: The Christmas Scene after Jerry Whitakker died -- Silent Night

(I blanked out, Katrina's actor is quite accomplished at acting)
