ANTM & Tyra Banks Nominated for Tubey Awards
June 28, 2009 by Erin Balser
Every year, Television Without Pity gives out awards honoring the latest, greatest and outright weirdest in the past year on television. With categories like “Best American Accent by a Non-American” and “Most Ludicrous Plotline”, it’s a fun way to look back at the highs and lows we watched on the tube.
This year, Tyra Banks is nominated for “Worst Crime Against Fashion” for all her outfits at panel. She’s got some stiff competition, as she’s up against Betty’s entire wardrobe from Ugly Betty; Leslie Knope’s masculine buisness suit and haircut for the awards banquet from the season finale of Parks & Recreation; all of the Dharma jumpsuits we see on Lost; Kenley’s hip-hop outfit for Leanne on Project Runway; Ben’s flashback hair in the “Dead is Dead” episode from Lost; Howard’s eyepatch on The Big Bang Theory; Alex’s entire first-season wardrobe, hair and makeup on Ashes to Ashes; Lois Lane’s Stiletto outfit on Smallville; Claire’s wig on Heroes; Echo’s assignment outfit in “Echoes” on Dollhouse; Spinelli’s two-colored hooded sweater on General Hospital; Sharon Abbott’s hair on The Young & the Restless; Spencer’s beard on The Hills; Mindy’s wedding dress on Friday Night Lights; Howard’s entire wardrobe on The Big Bang Theory; Jack’s ’70s-era moptop on Lost; Paula’s big red Christmas bow on American Idol; Locke’s flashback hair on Lost; Echo’s white trash outfit in “Omega” on Dollhouse; Ben’s entire look in his 1988 flashback on Lost; Allison Iraheta’s entire look on American Idol; Vanessa’s lime-green leggings on Gossip Girl; and Kenley’s fascinators on Project Runway.
That’s quite the competition. The winner will be determined by readers’ votes and you can vote for Tyra (or save her from Worst Fashion fate) here.
Tyra’s not the only ANTMer who snagged a nomination. Half the cast from Cycle 12 of America’s Next Top Model are duking it out in the “Best Smackdown (Reality)” program. The catfight between Aminat, Tahlia, and Teyona vs. Celia, Natalie and Allison is up against
CT and Adam from RW/RR Challenge: The Duel 2; Evelyn rips into ruling alliance, grabs John’s key from RW/RR Challege: The Island; Jesse Ventura and Elizabeth Hasselbeck on The View; Jon Stewart vs. Jim Cramer on The Daily Show; Kara vs. Bikini Girl on the season finale of American Idol; Norma vs. Daniella on The Fashion Show;
Randy has fake immunity idol, talks trash, gets voted out, Crystal screams out reasons why on Survivor; Ryan Seacrest hands Danny Gokey a $6K cleaning bill on American Idol; Stephen Colbert v. Michael Steele rap-battle on The Colbert Report; William Wallace vs. Shaka Zulu on Deadliest Warrior; and Zbigniew Brzezinski calls Joe Scarborough “stunningly superficial” on Morning Joe.
If you want to see Aminat, Tahlia, Teyona, Celia, Natalie and Allison take home the prize, you can vote for them here.
