OUTSTANDING SPECIAL VISUAL EFFECTS FOR A SERIES

Remember, it won an emmy for best main title theme, which of course makes sense, since the original theme was so calming and incredibly rich, and the 4th season remix was powerful and promised a new hope for the future in DS9.
*sniff*
Mike Deeds -- let us know whether DS9 wins all of these or not, please. Do they show stuff like this on the Emmy awards?
Probably not. And, of course, you notice that NONE of the awards shows ever nominate any Star Trek shows for any of the major awards. I remember watching a awards show (can't remember which one) during which they had a big segment honoring Star Trek. They had the casts of Star Trek, the Next Generation, and DS9. (I think this was before Voyager.) It was nice to see, but I kept wishing that someone would comment "Since you guys think we're so great, how come you never nominate us for anything?" One of the awards for that night was for best ensemble cast, and DS9 wasn't even in the running! Compared to the shows nominated, DS9's cast outstripped them by light years! How about "Duet?" How about "The Visitor?" How about "Beyond the Farthest Star?"
It's discrimination, that's what it is!!!!!
I thought DS9 had four nominations...that's
what I heard on the Canadian sci-fi channel.
Star Trek was nominated one year and they destroyed the Catagory to keep them from winning.
They don't show those awards being gave. The art department isn't "sexy" enoght to recive an award on television. But it's really a prejudice agaist Sci fi that perminates everyone in hollywood. Case in point, Most of the top grossing films of all time are sci-fi. Only time a top grossing film won Best picture was titanic.
Hey, wasn't "Star Trek: The Next Generation" nominated as best drama series in it's seventh year? Either for the Emmy or the Golden Globe, I think.
Possibly the People's Choice, or one of those weird MTV ones...
Geez, American award shows! How many of them are there? No! Don't answer that!
I bet there's even an award show for award shows:
"...and the award for lamest, most stilted repartee between two award show presenters goes to..."
Anyway, thinking about it, I'm pretty sure that it was an Emmy, and I remember being surprised and delighted by the announcement (and, of course, disappointed that Star Trek didn't win! I think "Picket Fences" did, or perhaps "Northern Exposure".)
Anyone else recall this?
Nope. Of course, I was about nine at the time, so I don't trust any memories of awards shows… Actually, I just saw a parody of one on Saturday Night Live. MTV Spiritual Awards. Presenters like Maya Angelou and Marilyn Manson, Courtney Love, and Calista Flockheart and Jesus. And performing together were Natalie Imbruglia and Satan. (The real awards shows would do this if they could.)
Anyway, I recall that ST:TMP was nominated for a few Oscars that it didn't win. I think one of them was in music or scoring or something like that. And First Contact was up for SFX and makeup Oscars, which it didn't win. Seeing a pattern here?
I agree with all of you above, I find award shows truly dispicable -- however whenever a Star Trek show is nominated I get excited anyway. The only awards for Star Trek movies that I know of being nominated is ST:MP for music and ST:6 for makeup (of course it didn't win) and also ST:FC (it lost to The Nutty Professor -- these awards are definately not done fairly). To me award shows are nothing but stup*d popularity contests where all of Hollywood's so called "elite" nominate themselves and pat themselves on the back to boost their own egoes. Star Trek shows have mainly been nominated for hairstyling, SFX, and music -- nothing for good storywriting (which exceeds many other hopeless shows on television) IMHO.
B.F., I will post here whether DS9 wins or not. Rene, you are right - DS9 DID have four nominations. I accidentally left out the "Outstanding Hairstyling" nomination. Just for the record, here are ALL the genre nominations so you can see what DS9 is competing against.

And, yes, I'm rooting for Shatner.
And, yes, I'm rooting for Shatner.
Well, you have to admit it was good casting :-)
I just LOVE my Shatner Turbo 2000 toupee!
Can't stand Shatner. And why was Futurama not nominated for best main title theme? (For that
matter, why not DS9 or Voyager? I like theirs tons better than the shows that were up there.
I think DS9 and Voyager already won when they first came on the airwaves.
Ithink all of us Nitpicker should make a show of our ouwn and award it to shows that really do deserve it, like DS9. We could make our own little statue, and award it those movies that lost at the oscars, but really deserved it more. Take First Contact. It should have won for best make-up, but the Nutty Professor did. I think that First Contact deseved it better because there were far more borg, with more intricate make-up on, and only in Eddie Murphy, made to look fat. I do believe that First Contact deserved it more. We could give them our award, truly from the heart, and say that they really did deserve it, because Dammit, they did
ok, I stopped ranting
Preach it, Meg!!!

Roberto Benigni at the Oscars. Definitely.
They put in 90210, and no Trek? What the hell -?
Out of that lot, though, I'm going the Buffy one (even though we have yet to see that episode here, I have seen a download of that bit.)
Best show on TV.
Awards and "popularity" contests are racist and filled with the general hatred for Trek and it's fans, just see the "Why are we so hated" board over in Classic Trek Sink...
Anyway who won the emmy's last night? I didn't get to see them. Did Bill Shatner win for Comedy? And please tell me DS9 won all of the awards it was nominated for...
Alas, DS9 didn't win anything. Voyager got one Emmy, for "Dark Frontier"'s visual effects.
Also, I don't think racist is the right word, but I do agree that SF in general tends to get shafted in mainstream awards shows. Who was it that said that the Academy only recognizes SF with an X in the title? Maybe it should have been "Deep Space IX." ;-)
And the best moment in television in the past season was Rachel and Ross getting married?! I don't think so.
No, Shatner didn't win the award. That one went to Mel Brooks. And he deserved it.
The one I really was disappointed about was Christine Baranski, for her "Dr. Nora" role in an episode of Frasier. She was a perfect parody of Dr. Laura. She had the inflections, favorite phrases, "don't take no ****" attitude, troubles with her mother, everything! She was hilarious! The most perfect parody I've seen outside of a Weird Al Yankovic album! What did Tracey Ullman ever do for me, anyway?
That was pretty funny! Ana Gasteyer on SNL does a great impression of Dr. Lora too that had me cracking up.
