|
| |
| The three 2006 Emmy nominations for ''Battlestar Galactica'' were met with disappointment by the show's creators and fans, as the series was overlooked in the Best Drama Series category and received no acting nominations despite a heavyweight campaign by the Sci Fi Channel aimed at securing nominations for the series and stars [[Edward James Olmos]] and [[Mary McDonnell]].<ref group="commentary" name="bsg_mag_7_emmy_2006_disappointment_p9">{{cite magazine|magazine=Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine|issue=7|pages=9|date=October/November 2006|publisher=[[Titan Magazines]]|title=Battlestar Galactica gains three Emmy nominations}}</ref> ''Battlestar Galactica'' had also headed ''Entertainment Weekly'''s choices for the Best Drama Emmy in the run-up to the nominations' announcement and was mentioned in an Emmy report in the influential US film and TV trade magazine ''Variety''.<ref group="commentary" name="bsg_mag_7_emmy_2006_disappointment_p9"/>

| [[Ronald D. Moore]] immediately addressed the show's absence from key Emmy categories, explaining: "Sci-fi movies and novels have always been considered second-class material. You start with the premise that it's science fiction, it's called ''Battlestar Galactica'' and it's on Sci-Fi Channel. So our show has a lot of obstacles to overcome before anyone's even seen it."<ref group="commentary" name="bsg_mag_7_moore_emmy_comment_p9">{{cite magazine|magazine=Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine|issue=7|pages=9|date=October/November 2006|publisher=[[Titan Magazines]]|title=Battlestar Galactica gains three Emmy nominations}}</ref>

| Series developer and executive producer [[Ronald D. Moore]] and executive producer [[David Eick]] attended the Peabody Award presentation ceremony at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on June 5, 2006, along with cast members [[Edward James Olmos]] (Admiral Adama), [[Mary McDonnell]] (Laura Roslin), [[Jamie Bamber]] (Lee Adama), [[Katee Sackhoff]] (Kara Thrace), and [[Grace Park]] (Sharon Valerii).<ref group="commentary" name="bsg_mag_7_peabody_ceremony_p7">{{cite magazine|magazine=Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine|issue=7|pages=7|date=October/November 2006|publisher=[[Titan Magazines]]|title=Battlestar Galactica collects Peabody Award}}</ref>

| In their acceptance speeches, Moore and Eick paid tribute to the work of the show's cast and crew, plus the staff at Universal Studios and the Sci Fi Channel.<ref group="commentary" name="bsg_mag_7_peabody_ceremony_p7"/> Moore stated: "I'm often asked about the politics of the show: who's Bush? Who's Al-Qaeda? What are we saying about Iraq? The truth is, the show's about all of those things and about none of them. We ask our audience to think about the world in which they live but draw their own conclusions. Our characters are simply people like you and me: flawed creatures caught between their hopes and fears, struggling towards the light."<ref group="commentary" name="bsg_mag_7_moore_peabody_speech_p7">{{cite magazine|magazine=Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine|issue=7|pages=7|date=October/November 2006|publisher=[[Titan Magazines]]|title=Battlestar Galactica collects Peabody Award}}</ref> He concluded: "Thank you for this moment, thank you for this tribute and thank you for recognizing our work."<ref group="commentary" name="bsg_mag_7_moore_peabody_speech_p7"/>
