Season finale awards: Celebrate the good (call out the bad)

tv-finalesImage Credit: David M. Russell/CBS; Danny Feld/ABC; Mario Perez/ABCMay is coming to an end, and so is the TV season. You’ve arranged your life around your DVR for weeks, and we have the payoff: Look back on this year’s finales, and help us hand out awards to remember them by. Submit nominations for the categories we’ve suggested below (your winner and, if necessary, one runner-up) and/or create your own. Categories can range from the obvious — Best Death — to the very specific. Kate Ward, for instance, would crown the gigantic bedazzled skull belt buckle worn by Biggest Loser winner Michael Ventrella Best Accessory. Ninety-percent of the fun here will be reading other PopWatchers’ picks. A TV-wide spoiler alert, obviously.

      • Amy

        Dani…totally agree with the Weakest single twist!!!!

      • Kristen

        You must be very young based on your picks. Sorry, but must disagree.

      • Megan

        @ Kristen – do you have an opinion of your own, or are you just here to pass judjment on others?

      • Max

        Sorry we left out NCIS Kristen. And Nash Bridges isn’t new, otherwise we would have thrown in an award for them too. Isn’t there an early bird special that you need to be getting to?

      • Schmuck

        Jack vs. MIB was great. But, O-livia vs. Faux-livia on Fringe was better. You could tell they knew each others moves because they are essentially the same person. Very interesting.

      • Erin

        Best Death: Smokey/FLocke on LOST – Getting shot wasn’t enough. He had to get pushed off of a cliff too.
        Most Welcome Exit for an Unloved Character: Reed and Percy on Grey’s Anatomy – I didn’t like them, but I still cried for them during the finale.
        Best Overall Ending to an Otherwise Crappy Season: Grey’s Anatomy – They’ve finally given me an actual reason to keep watching other than habit and Kevin McKidd.
        Worst Overall Ending to an Otherwise Solid Season: The Office – Mentioning that Holly might come back doesn’t really equal awesome. And nothing else of note really happened in that episode. Except that Gabe is hilarious.
        Best Romantic Cliffhanger: Jeff & his trifecta (Britta, Annie, & Slater) on Community – Holy snap, Jeff. I honestly don’t know who I want you to choose. Except Slater. Don’t pick her.
        Best Non-Romantic Cliffhanger: Olivia being left in the alternate universe on Fringe – They finally give us what we want with Peter and Olivia, and then they take it away. What a tease.
        Best Kiss: tie between Jack & Kate on LOST and Peter & Olivia on Fringe
        Best Fight (Verbal or Physical): Jack vs. FLocke – Jack pulled out an Achilles move on Smokey…I had no idea he was that awesome at fighting.
        Top Tissue Moment (Single tear or sobfest): The entire episode of “The End” on Lost. Jin and Sun remembering, Charlie and Claire, and then the ending…I’m tearing up just thinking about it.
        Most Clever Single Twist: I don’t know if it counts, but Rita getting killed on Dexter. Most. Brilliant. Twist. Ever. Period. I have no idea where the show is going to go from there. And I love that.
        Weakest Single Twist: Olivia trapped in the alternate universe on Fringe – As soon as Olivia dyed her hair, I knew a mix up was going to happen. It was a great ending, but you could see it coming from a mile away.
        Funniest Half Hour: Cougar Town
        Spookiest Image: Walternate staring at Olivia in her prison and then leaving her in the dark on Fringe

    • Kristen

      I am sorry, but the best kiss was not Jack and Kate, but rather Juliet and Sawyer. Even Jeff Jensen gave more hanky’s to that moment than Jack and Kate. A close second would be Sun and Jin. Must disagree with those who say otherwise.

      • Coyote

        If Doc Jensen says it then it must be true. Stop slamming other people’s lists and come up with your own.

      • Emma

        The Jack and Kate moment was so special because of the YEARS of build-up. And because while completely unexpected, it felt SO right. I didn’t know who she would end up with, but in that moment I felt like it could never be otherwise. That is why that kiss was so singularly amazing. Go LOST! RIP.

      • Kristin

        Completely agree. I was physically relieved when I saw Sawyer and Juliet together. My kids and I were yelling at the tv: Kiss,kiss, kiss…

    • mw

      bah! i should not have read this. jack! no!!! so much for saving all the lost surprises until the dvds come out.

    • mary q contrary

      Best Death: Lost – I absolutely cheered when Jack kicked the Man in Black off the cliff, but Jack’s death march, and then his smile as he lay next to Vincent, is one my favorite, if not my VERY favorite, moment in television history. So, best death definitely goes to Jack.

      Most Welcome Exit for an Unloved Character: Grey’s Anatomy – a bullet in the head of that really annoying Mercy Wester with the pixie haircut. Never could remember her name.
      Best Overall Ending to an Otherwise Crappy Season: Grey’s Anatomy
      Worst Overall Ending to an Otherwise Solid Season: 10 Things I Hate About You – they ended the series run on several cliffhangers. Need I say more?
      Best Romantic Cliffhanger: Again, 10 Things I Hate About You. Kat and Patrick in bed together! What next?! Swoon! It just sucks I’ll never know the resolution!
      Best Non-Romantic Cliffhanger: The Vampire Diaries – Elena walking into her house, while Katherine is in the kitchen, having just killed Elena’s uncle/father. Haha! It sounds awesome just typing it!
      Best Kiss: The Vampire Diaries – When I thought Elena kissed Damon. Totally steamy, even if it did just turn out to be Katherine. Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder totally steam up the screen.
      Best Fight (Verbal or Physical): Lost – Jack and Man in Black. Hands down, no contest. EPIC.
      Top Tissue Moment (Single tear or sobfest): The entire Lost finale, but particularly the scene at the end, where it cut back and forth to Jack’s death march, and the church in the Sideways. Forgive me while I take a moment……
      Most Clever Single Twist: Lost – I know a lot of people didn’t love it, but I feel like I completely understand it the way it was meant to be understood, and I thought it was beautiful. My favorite finale EVER.
      Weakest Single Twist: All those former Idol contestants and winners on one stage. A few I can understand, but really, they all sounded like crap together.
      Funniest Half Hour: Modern Family
      Spookiest Image: Grey’s Anatomy – Bailey being dragged out from underneath Mandy Moore’s bed, after watching the killer shoot her colleague. I must point out that entire scene as being one of Chandra Wilson’s finest. Superb.
      Most Rewound Moment: Tie – The Vampire Diaries (I’m not ashamed to admit that I rewound and watched the kiss between Nina and Ian several times.)/Lost (I’ve probably watched the last 12 minutes no less than 8 times. And by probably, I mean I did.)
      SPECIAL AWARD: Biggest Regret That I Didn’t See It, I Just Read About It – The crash scene on Brothers and Sisters. I stopped watching last season, but it sounds like I missed something awesome.

      • Renee

        Chandra Wilson is absolutely amazing! Every week I am astounded by what she does.

    • cwswifty

      the vampire diaries kicked some butt this season, the last episode was the best yet….I don’t think anyone thought it would have been Katherine at the end…Can’t wait for season 2

      • Garrett

        Why is no one sad about Anna dieing i loved her and Jeremy together and i thought she had so much more depth.

      • mary q contrary

        Me, too, Garrett. I was so mad, because I really thought she had potential to be a good recurring character. Right now the only younger love interests they have available are Elena and her friends, and I think that’s kind of lame. I guess they were just trying to get Jeremy to a darker place for next season, and needed her death as a tool to achieve that. But really, they killed his only 2 girlfriends! WTH?!

        It’s called Season Finale Awards! Not Last Couple of Episode and Season Finale Awards! You can’t put Sun and Jin’s death! And BTW for the finale of Ugly Betty, it’s London, not Paris.

      • mary q contrary

        I agree with Romy. You’ve got a lot of moments on here that aren’t from finale episodes, and you even mention the word finale when referring to the last episode of Lost.

      • teresa

      Good one Carol, but I would put her as runner-up and Whitmore as best.

    • murley

      absolutely. it wasn’t a finale moment but it was definitely the most welcome character death in my opinion.
