Nathan Fillion was featured as one of the top 10 overlooked performances of 2005 in an Associated Press Article.
Taken from article:"Nathan Fillion, 'Serenity'. Like Harrison Ford did three decades ago, Fillion plays a bemused, roll-with-the-punches spaceship captain. There aren't awards for such performances, but they help remind us that sci-fi and action movies can actually be good." Asscoiated Press article, 12/25/05
How's that for a Christmas present!! Serenity gets recongized as a kick ass movie and Nathan gets his props!! Go Captain Tightpants!!

This performance was much different from the show...Much harder edge...without the loss of the essence of the character
Oh...Good Bible

I think Summer was overlooked also.
Mal would kick Han Solo's ass.

That's great! And it's true. His performance in Serenity was brilliant, but overlooked for awards.

Shiny!
(And I'd expect Han would kick Mal's ass, but Mal would hang on so long that Han would get tired. Then Mal would kick Han's ass, but Han would hang on. . . Then, both beaten, bloody, and exhausted, they'd half-carry each other to the nearest bar. . .)

I think Nathan is destined for greatness. He seems to have a wonderful sense of humor, and he really enjoys his job. That, and the fact that he has actual talent, and is as handsome as all get out will take him far.
As for Summer, I can't say enough good stuff about how she portray's River. I have some real life experience with people who have mental illness and developmental issues. The treatments River got were supposed to have made her a lot like a schitzophrenic. She has it nailed. Remember the scene from the series when she talks about the apple bits? It tore me up.
The whole cast is great, but Nathan and Summer really stand out in my mind.

We can all bragg one day that we discovered both Nathan and Summer before they were "stars" and recognized the brilliance of both of them.
"I love my Captain"

I have to agree with Nathan's performance being overlooked and I think his performance in the movie and the series were top shelf. He's obviously a dedicated consumate actor and really mastered the character of Mal. Off screen he appears to be a warm,jovial always making people laugh human being that after meeting you'd think "I'd like to invite this guy over for some beers" or if you're a girl you'd probably think, "This guy is sweet, wonder if he's married or would ask me out on a date" yet he manages to wrap himself up in the constrained, conflicted hollowed out character of Mal when on screen and nails it everytime. I know this guy is going places and I think we've only seen the surface of his talent because he seems to have that professional zeal that drives people to excellence. I couldn't for the life of me imagine anyone else taking over the role of Mal in any future Firefly 'verse sequels or mini-series. For me it's Nathan or nutthin, plain and simple. "Oh, Captain! My Captain......." and all that. To show how devoted he is to his fan base he's even posted a Christmas greetings on the Browncoats homepage. Seems he and Mark Sheppard are very appreciative of the fans although I've heard praise of all the others too just haven't seen online postings which is ok since it's a very busy fast paced life in the world of Hollywood. Also, Summer Glau's performances in Firefly and especially Serenity are just plain fantastic. That girl has pure, raw talent as well as beauty and grace. From what I've read of the fan convention feedback she's very warm and down to earth in real life. Hope she gets the recognition she deserves. Hell, I hope all our Big Damn Heroes get the recognition they deserve.
Hope all of you reading this are having a very Merry Christmas or "Happy Holidays" as some whiners would say.
