I have a fun idea...
Best Actor for the series.
I nominate Azula
I have to say, after watching sozin's comet again, i though Azula gave the most powerful performance of all the characters. Going from ultra manipulative, cold, calculating, calm, into paranoia, no self restraint, sobing, drueling, rolling on the floor.
When she was fighting zuco in the agni kai, her body language was tilted and leaning to one side, kinda like a drunk. And of course at the end of the fight, when she was chained to the floor, she was rolling over backwards breathing fire. Also the crazy hair cut she gave herself after she tried to defeat her hair as an enemy going against her, shows how paranoid and mentally unstable she became. This is a stark contrast to her usually mentally strong tighlty pulled and groomed hair.
However we may define good acting, wheather it be charisma, or realistic emotions, or being convinced that the charcater is a real round person, i think azula beat everyone in her powerful performance throughout the series.

Any other nominations... Maybe we can have a vote to all nominated.
Then best fight scene...

I agree... she was amazing. her character was amazing because of the voice or vice versa i cant tell but both were amazing. azula was the darkest and perhaps most intriguing character of all. almost sad to see her go.

I vote Azula. Acting crazy always brings an Academy award (or nomination). Have you seen her sinister face before attacking Zuko in the agni kai? That's epic.

I second that. Ozai's power and sexy deep voice and intimating presence was great. They did not even show his face until season 3.

my boyfriend whom was watching the finale with me says he was dissapointed because he kinda expected more from her since she was so together in the last few shows. i tried to explain to him that tylee and mai's betrayl broke her and that she was starting the crack since the beginning of the show. idk azula isnt necessarily my favorite. i pick Zuko for that heart touching performance with iroh at the white lotus campsite. i loved it.

That or being loose. Just look at Halley Berry, Julia Roberts, or Heath Ledger.

Azula FTW!
This is not the first time that Grey DeLisle has done a voice acting job that can only be described as outstanding - she also perfectly captured the right tone for Azula in the Boiling Rock. Also, kudos to the animators for doing a spectacular job with her (and everyone and everything else) in the finale.
Ozai ties for a close second with Aang.

Speaking of Heath Ledger, I just saw the new Batman movie and loved it. Both the Joker and Azula stand out as shining examples of how people are always capable of falling in love with the crazy villains.

Yeah the performance of Azula was absolutely amazing, certinl the best villain. I've always been amazed with her and she really added a lot to the character in the finale.
I was rooting for her against Zuko

If anyone deserves an award it was the animators drawing her. They really showed in her eyes, hair, and overall body posture and apearance her slow desent into madness.
