Today’s the day we’ve all be waiting for... 

THE OSCARS ARE HERE! 

The winners for each category  - along with their virtual Oscars - have been placed under the cuts below.

Our presenters for the event?  Why Lee and Kara of course!

 

Lee's suit is a grey Burberry number while Kara is dressed in Givenchy haute couture.  Special nods to coffeesuperhero for working as stylist for our two stars.  They look FANTASTIC! 

THANK YOU also everyone who came out and voted!  We had forty-nine people members of the Kara / Lee Academy cast their ballots, the last two votes coming in mere minutes before I closed the polls.  .

Thank YOU ALL for your EPIC participation! 

I’ve had an AMAZING time hosting the Oscar week countdown, but YOU are the reason it was so successful.  Special thanks go out to nazkey and sci_fi_shipper who spent endless amounts of time walking me through this DPP process.  And a HUGE shout out to the fangirls on twitter who kept me laughing as I stayed up late into the night posting.  You guys ROCK!

This will be the last post of the week.  Unlike the other Oscars, I won’t be rushing people offstage...  Take your time, and enjoy this final post of the week.

Winners – please come on down to the stage and post your acceptance speeches.

Lee and Kara are here to hand you your award.

wooooooooo-hooooooooo!!!

**runs up to stage, kisses presenters, thinks about trying to cop a feel but doesn't want to be Ellen Tigh, takes awards and tears up**

Wow! Thank you Shipper Nation! There are so many people that had a part in these fics, and really these wins are theirs too. First, I have to thank our stars, the indefatiguable and highly athletic Kara Thrace and Lee Adama who always go the extra mile--and then some. We all would not be here tonight if they were not so lovable (and let's face it, totally frakked up) as they are. Thanks also go to our host, kag523 whose stamina almost puts pilots to shame! Her enthusiasm and talent are such a welcome addition to fandomland. Next, I have to shoutout to my constant and clever betas, rayruz and thrace_adama, who inspired and encouraged me and kept me on the straight and narrow, as well as all the fangirls who so willingly brainstormed with me, including but not limited to wisteria_, workerbee73, and csm37, whose email support network was instrumental while plotting Academy Pilots. I also need to thank one man, whose utter ineptitude when dealing with the romantic lives of pilots gave birth to hundreds of thousands of words of fic, not just by myself but by all the fine nominees and winners here tonight. That's right, Ron Moore, I thank you for your tremendous FAIL! And last, but absolutely not least, I want to thank all of the fangirls who read and commented and voted for my fic. I am honored and humbled and you're all amazing! Come drink with me at the bar! AMBROSIA FOR EVERYONE! Thank you and goodnight!

**stumbles off stage clutching statues and at least one if not both pilots**

Adama is very excited about the Shipper Nation Oscars and would like to congratulate all the winners and nominees.

[thrace-adama.livejournal.com]

LOL, best. acceptance speech. ever. Congrats! You deserved it. Now write us something new to beta! ;)

Re: CONGRATULATIONS OSCAR WINNERS!!!!!!!!!

[thrace-adama.livejournal.com]

Seconded!

[damao2010.livejournal.com]

Loved your acceptance speech. Just perfect (especially the RDM part).

Congratulations on winning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[damao2010.livejournal.com]

CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners. YOU ALL ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And THANK YOU K. for being such an amazing host this week. YOU ROCK TOO!!!!!!!!

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

I just want to say thank you all so much for this wonderful crack-tastic award! It makes me feel very proud and very victoriously silly. I tend to wear my serious face a lot, so I'm beyond delighted that it was the laughter you most enjoyed sharing with me -- YAY!!

And I'm indebted to all of the nominees and winners and so many more wonderful fans whose amazing talent and creativity has made this such a wonderful community. When I look at the tremendous skill and enthusiasm and love and generosity on display here over the last week, I just hope everyone feels as pleased and proud as I do.

My special thanks to taragel for her wonderful support and encouragement for this Musical, to all those who reviewed it with so much enthusiasm while I was working on it, and to all of you whose insightful discussions on these boards transformed the way I thought - and laughed - about the epic story of Pilots.

In conclusion, I would like to nominate kag523 for a special Oscar -- she kept herself out of the running this time, but we all know what prolific and jawdropping contributions she's made over the last year. I think we have all benefitted not just from her artistry but also from her encouragement and the way she reaches out to others in the fandom. I think she deserves an award for "Best Collaborator," which I intend as the highest praise rather than as something which will get her thrown out an airlock :)

My thanks to the Academy.

Would someone PLEASE tell Lee that Kara stepped into the powder room and is waiting for him? The little stripper number would do SO much more with her involved. *grins*

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

;) Soon! Soon! There's renewed interest in my Cutting Edge fic from some A/R peeps so I started rereading it and I really miss it. After work calms down just a little bit, I'm gonna try to dive back in!

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Hehe. Where would we be without RDM? So many things to fix, so little time!

Congratulations Tara! Great job!

[kag523.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Thank YOU for coming out every day! It's been an amazing ride! ♥ K

[damao2010.livejournal.com]

Wonderful speech, Rach. (Particularly like the little "Collaborators" joke, at the end. And you're surprised you humor has won you a prize... I'm not. LOL)

And I totally second K.'s nomination. She more than deserves it.

[kag523.livejournal.com]

Congratulations Rachel!!! You are so gracious and deserving in your win! And thanks for the kind nomination. *hugs* You are too kind. :>)

YAY!!

No airlocks, only love <3<3<3

[shah-of-blah.livejournal.com]

Congratulations to the winners! Twas an honor to be nominated. And THANK YOU kag523 for organizing an awesome DPP week!

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Certainly well deserved and then some.

*mad applause!!!*

CONGRATULATIONS RACHEL!!!!! You are one of the most amazing authors in the fandom. I know I haven't commented much on your fic, but I do lurk & read them. The breadth and depth of your writing is astounding.

*makes approximately the face that Kara is making in icon*
*takes stage*
*gives hugs and kisses to Kara and Lee*
*maybe feels Lee up a little*

Hey, if playing grabass with the CAG is wrong, I don't want to be right, y'all. *general audience laughter* *Kara nods in agreement* *Lee blushes*

Okay, for real, though: thank you, to the Academy, this wonderful Shipper Nation, for being the amazing, fun, vivacious community that you are. "The Adama Brothers" started its life as a short, simple little late-night piece for bsg_pornbattle, and without your encouragement, it probably would have stayed that way, but thanks to you, I've been able to indulge my love of this little AU for awhile longer. Thank you for reading, for all of the compliments you've given me, for being patient between updates (especially this last long break while I've been stuck in Big Bang land) and for just being the incredible people that you are. My life is absolutely richer with all of you in it. So much love for you!
