Wow Paul Wesley, just wow! he was the best this season and doesn’t submit himself for Emmy as lead actor…Geez, how i love this man!

Sorry I love ian but Damon compared to klaus and Stefan this season has to comparison, he didn’t do much but what the hell ya vampire diaries I hope him and specially Joseph gets through

ikr…aww love Paul so much <3

I’m sorry, are u saying Ian is not good in his role as Damon? I  really don’t see the point of comparing the actors, they are all brilliant in their respective roles. To say Ian is not as brilliant as Paul and Joseph is just not right. Yes, Paul and Joseph had better material this season but that doesn’t discount Ian from being true to his role. He was brilliant in S1&2 because of the material he had. Paul didn’t do much in S2 but he was still great as Stefan, nobody was telling him then he wasn’t a brilliant actor.

I dont know are we watching the same show with the material that he had in S3-Ian did a wonderful job, just as Paul and Joseph did,if anything I question the writing nomination, since the writing in the last half of the show was lacking in many ways, but to say that Ian did not do much this season sorry beg to differ,just my humble opinion. 

I agree with that. The writing went down-hill since 3×12 imo. I, as a Stelena shipper have been offended twice because of the writing and if I was a Delena fan, I wouldn’t be too pleased either. Also, the first half of the season was much more witty and funny in comparison because of the better writing, character development etc. 

Damon this season was lackluster imo, and it’s not because he developed into a ‘better man’ (I liked that he was helping Stefan, despite what has happened between them in the past because Damon is right, Stefan is the only person he can truly rely on; it’s Damon that pushed Stefan away because he was pissed at him/jealous and/or difference of opinion. Episodes such as: 3×15, 3×16), even though in regards to Elena, it seemed pretty contrived since his true colours show quite prominently how selfish he can be with Elena. What Damon does for other people he cares about, especially Stefan is his humanity, not Elena (her purpose in his life is to help him open up to his humanity instead of ‘turning it off’ and killing people. Damon was like Stefan this season but he was ‘bad’ for a different reason and it is in Elena’s nature to help people as she is a kind, warm-hearted, compassionate individual. I just love Delena’s friendship, I would like to see a platonic relationship to develop by the end of the show. I for one, believe Damon and Elena both help the other grow as people (they are all part of journey, and both of their relationships with Stefan are equally, if not more important. The show wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Stelena and they are the main leads but no relationship could beat the Salvatore Brothers’ bond, except maybe Klaus/Elijah since they are an older version but they are not in the main trio so that doesn’t count, although I love them as well, of course) but as a relationship it would just become a mess, and they don’t need to be in relationship romantically to help each other and care about each other. Besides, the guilt would be too much eventually, as these two love Stefan a lot and he’s not going anywhere (even, if he pulls a Ross and claims he’s ‘fine’ and is in another relationship. We all know he will be dying inside)

Back on tangent, sorry I ranted for so long. Good luck to Nina, Ian and Joseph; they are all very talented in what they do, too bad Paul isn’t up there with them as he’s just as good (if not, even slightly better than the rest, no offence but imo) Anyway, it would be a great honour for TVD to win something at the Emmy’s as it is my favourite TV show (no bias) but credit is due to the cast and crew so they deserve recognition and this is the highest level and type of award they can receive, and ‘The End of the Affair’ and ‘The Reckoning’ are among my favourite episodes (I can’t name a single bad episode of TVD, there’s always something good in the episode for everyone, even though some aspects of it do not to everyone since we are all mostly divided in our opinions, but who wants everyone to see things in the same way with ease. Boring, right?)

My bad I just did not like the writing this season and especially the second half, guess went with a kneejerk reaction and did not pay attention to ep. names, was just sligthly teed off about suggestion that Ian acting was not as good as Pauls and Josephs wich it was, nuff said

LOL… U just said exactly what Leah said that Ian is not a brilliant actor compared to Paul and Joseph, he isn’t worthy of an Emmy nomination but Paul and Joseph are!!! Here we go again comparing one to the other and who is worthy for what nomination. Everyone sees their favorite better than others but that doesn’t mean they are. Paul is great but I don’t think he is an Emmy contender either. Neither is Ian and neither is Joseph. They all have a some way to go before they can get there.

And why isn’t Ian not worthy of an Emmy nomination compared to Paul and Joseph? What exceptional performance has Paul or Joseph done compared to Ian? Yes, they had better material this season, that doesn’t make them any better or worthier than others…

Yup!they owned it!but Paul not submitting his name just shows how humble he is about his own acting, I don’t know if I should feel glad that he is tat humble or angry because I feel tat he was awesome this season and should have submitted his name:)

Yes, but Damon is the tritagonist, whilst Elena is the protagonist and Stefan is the deuteragonist (The Vampire Diaries is essentially Stefan’s story as it has been stated in the Pilot). Remember, he is the third main character and just because he is part of the trio, doesn’t make him a lead, just the second male lead. Also, why would Ian nominate himself under ‘Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series’ if he was a main lead. Sorry, but from a show POV, sure he is a a main but so is Klaus, Matt, Caroline etc. (Secondary main characters, and quoted by JP “Stefan and Elena are the true epic love story of the show. Damon is the third point of the triangle.” It is just the promotion of the love triangle that makes him a main (even, Wikia states that Stefan is the male lead, and Damon is not and since each movie/show with two male/female leads, one is more of the lead and that happens to be Stefan in this case, and nothing is ever equal. Sorry DE/Damon fans but he does get a lot of screen-time so it’s not all bad)

I considered him a main before, and he still technically is one of the leads, but he is the least significant and important lead out of the three (It’s just that he is so popular with the fans for whatever reasons, I’m not going to delve into that though or generalise or stereotype the main reason why because that’s not fair. Or maybe the DE/Damon fans are more vocal and present online since the majority of the viewers are not that interest in DE since 3×19 had the least number of viewers in TVD history. 3×20 was not much better but I’m guessing it was because majority of the viewers are neutral about the love triangle and dislike the ping-pong game between SE Vs. DE because it’s annoying and makes Elena look like a hypocritic, indecisive person. That is why episodes devoted to one in particular, consecutively is something that should not happen again because people don’t like it because it does not please hardcore shippers – except for a little while and the rest of the fans who don’t care about the love triangle)

If Anna Paquin can win a Golden Globe or Emmy or whatever for playing an annoying useless twit, then Nina Dobrev deserves one for playing an annoying twit AND an awesome, feisty, manipulative vampire…
