Supernatural Fans Win People’s Choice Award – We Want Your Acceptance Speech!
Congratulations Supernatural Fans! We have won the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Fan Following! The SPN Family rules! Go figure, today we woke up normal people, and now we are all People’s Choice Award Winners!
Funny thing though, this award happened so suddenly, I didn’t prepare my acceptance speech. I don’t know what to say, there are so many people to thank. Since this is your obligation as an award winner, give us your speech. We don’t care how short or how long. Share your deserved words. It’s your moment to shine, so take advantage!
Congratulations Supernatural fans. I cannot think of a more well deserved honor.
OK, I don’t have a speech prepared, but when I get it done, it would include a mild correct to the PCA people, telling them that SPN fans are called “Saltgunners.” 🙂
As long as it’s us, I don’t care what they name us (in fact, I was one of the crazy people who came screaming when they wanted to break the fandom apart by having Jensen, Jared and Misha’s Minions – Wives… humpf! – separate nominations. And they expect us not to get what they were trying to do…). But in Brazil we call ourselves HUNTERS. I’ve seen the nickname being used worldwide.
Omg, thank you so much! I mean, I voted like a lot but thank you anyway! I want to thank Alissa for getting me into Supernatural barely like 3 months ago but I’m already obsessed. I’d also like to thank Misha Collins, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles for being so amazing, smoking hot that I couldn’t stop watching them. Also thanks to my mum and best friend for getting me season 1 and 2 for Christmas. YEARS OF OBSESSION, HERE I COME!
I’d like to thank the PCA’s, SPNFamily, cast & crew, & my right index finger for this award. (This thing has J2’s phone numbers engraved on it, right?) ROCK ON SUPERNATURAL!
I would like to thank my tireless – sometimes blistered and arthritic fingers for all the days and nights pressing the vote button. I would also like to thank all of you who re tweeted every one of my votes on Twitter. My inbox exploded each and every day with notifications of said re tweets. Thank you , Thank you! “air kiss”
Oh my Chuck! I knew our family because thats what we are, was amazing but to hear we won is just so amazing! I’d like to thank Godstiel & my fellow fans for all your crazy voting efforts & simply for just being you! Thank you Kripke for creating this amazing show, thank you Jared & Jensen for playing these amazing brothers & being part of our lives!
Thank you, thank you! We owe it all to the incredible people who make [i]Supernatural[/i], because without such a superb show, we would never have come together as a family to take our place on the People’s Choice Award stage. Thank you to ALL the cast and crew in Vancouver and Los Angeles, from the writers coming up with the stories all the way through the post-production wizards who assemble the end product we see on our screens! And thanks to all my Supernatural brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and cousins! We are FAMILY!
I’d like to thank the Cast, the Crew and all my fellow fans for allowing me to be part of something this spectacular. WE ALL DID IT !!!
Lets do it again next year !!!
Thanks to everyone who voted as maniacally as I did!!! We did it! We love Supernatural! We love the cast and crew! The SPN Family rocks and we have proof!!!!!
I wish to thank the PCAs for making this possible. I know that we gave them grief as a fandom last year, but they really made up for it this year.
Above all, a huge thank you to the Supernatural cast, crew and creative team who work so hard to bring us such a terrific show. It’s not hard to be a great fan when the show is such high quality and the people working to bring it to us are truly a class act and decent human beings.
And lastly a heartfelt thanks to all my fellow fans of the SPNfamily. Over the past years in this fandom I have met some wonderful people, developed great friendships, re-discovered my passion for writing, and have had the most amazing opportunities. And none of that would have been possible without a little show called Supernatural. I am proud and humbled to share in this PCA award with ALL of you! ~Liana~
I just want to thank the whole entire cast and crew making this show amazing. We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you. You guys make us who we are and you make us more and more proud everyday. We love you guys so much!! and SPN FANS ARE THE BEST FANS EVER! 🙂 Thank you soooo much!
Yay us! Thanks to all my fellow fans who make this so much fun. I feel like we all had a night out on the town.
I’d like to start by thanking Jared and Jensen, without you two, this would never have been possible. Thank you for bringing people from around the world together to laugh, and cry, and stare, awestruck, at your beautiful selves. Thanks to Jim, and Misha, for keeping our boys safe, for giving us the knowledge that they aren’t alone, and for being fabulous tweeters. Misha, thanks for letting us stare at your face lustfully too (wait, is that just me?).
Thank you to Gen and Danneel, for making Jensen and Jared happy husbands and fathers.
Thank you to the production crew, the rest of the cast, and all of the ridiculously talented writers and directors. Especially Kim, we Kicked It In The Ass, Kim.
Lastly, thank you to my fellow fans. Thank you for eight years of friendship, love, craziness, and GISHWHES. I love each and every one of you. Until next Wednesday, (WOOHOO!!!) goodnight.
I’d like to thank the cast and crew for creating such an great show. Their work is inspiring and I can honestly say that I’m glad our fandom is the SPNFamily because tonight I truly feel like a family.
I wanna thank d great actors of supernatural….cuz of them nd there really beautiful acting we r here…they make us glued our ass to d couch whenever there show was aired…so thankyou guys fr ur hardwork nd amazngly gud looks XD we r ur fans!:)
well … i don’t know what to say … guess we are one great family and we work so hard to support it and make it the best out there …everyone work hard for the sake of this awesome and great family … i said that before right ? but i mean what else ca i say 🙂 i love this family and yay we won
I’d like to thank the PCA for offering this award up. It was awkward at first voting essentially for myself (in theory) as I never vote for myself in any contest I’ve ever been in. But, as I voted for it, I thought of it differently.
I wasn’t voting for myself. I was voting for the rest of my Supernatural Family.
That meant the cast. This cast is so awesome, works so hard, and gives us their all every episode and at every convention. They go beyond the call for us, their fans, at ever turn. This cast inspires us in so many ways, be it Jared and Jensen’s gracious treatment of us—those of us who have been lucky enough to meet them know—and by calling us Family, to Misha’s relentless drive to inspire us to charity, to Jim Beaver for us to live with more compassion—those of us who’ve read Life’s that Way understand—and more.
I was voting for the crew. They do all the little things we might not always notice or appreciate or even know about. They take our boys God given beauty and make it better with make up and lighting and camera shots and everything else I don’t know about. They build beautiful sets, make hand crafted books for props, provide us with special effects, and do stunts so our boys stay pretty. They write the show, they direct the show, they find locations for the boys to tell the story in, they do all these things everyday.
I was voting for the rest of my fellow fans. Each and everyday I talk to some of them—and each and everyday they all inspire me. They inspire me to be better, to have fun, to see the better things in life. They stand by me when I have a bad day or when I’m trying to accomplish some lofty goal (like write a novel). They laugh with me. They cry with me. Most of all, they share my insane obsession with this amazing show so I don’t explode or babble at anyone else who will listen but might not care or get it. THEY GET IT. Even when we disagree about this or that, we all get it. We get that this show MEANS so much to us and is more than just a show. It is what brings us together, makes us do the things we do that bring good into the world, and we rally around one another.
So, this award is for all of you. To the outside world we might seem like a crazy collection of fangirls wasting time on a TV show, but we all know better. This show grabs us tight, hangs on hard, and changes all of us in fundamental ways—for the better.
Let’s do it again next year—only let’s get one of our boys a big shiny award for acting, too, no?
First and foremost, I’d like to thank Eric Kripke, for being the guy that created this show we all adore. Without him, I don’t think I’d be the same person I am today. And obviously I’d like to thank the flawless cast, who deserve all the awards for their supreme acting. And last but not least, to my fellow SPN Family, who share the same passion and love the show as much as I do. We may have our disagreements, but in the end we have one thing in common: the love of a beautiful show that means the world to us, and we couldn’t live without. 🙂
First I would like to thank the Alpha of our family. Eric Kripke for creating a wonderful show and selecting two amazing actors to bring the stories to life. I want to thank Jensen & Jared for making these characters so easy to love and their commitment to the show. Thanks to the entire crew in Canada for tireless work.
I could never have done this without the help of my newly adopted family and their never ending encouragement for me to keep on voting every hour of every day.
Thanks to Apple for the long life battery in my iPad so I could vote anywhere and not have to recharge. And last of all thanks to Advil for relieving the cramps in fingers after hours of voting.
SPN Family you are the best!
I want to thank the cast and the crew for working hard to make Supernatural the truly awesome show that it is. I remember the first episode I watched was “Playthings” over a year ago, and I just knew I had to look into it. Little did I know how much Supernatural would become a part of my life! I love the show so much so thank you Jensen, Jared, Misha, and the rest of the cast/crew who are the reason this fandom exists! Also congrats my fellow fans! We are awesome and yes, we conquered once more!
I watch lots of series but non of them are like spn
I find family here & read & learn, laugh & cry every single day with all the friends around the world no matter that I`m in Iran I want hug all of them
I survive & drown with my feelings 🙂
I wish show never end it is just the new begin.
It’s all for the show, the crew, and of course Jensen and Jared. They have greatly enriched my life with this show. May it forever reign
holy crap! we did it!! i’d like to thank the SPN Family for sticking together and kicking ass . . to sam and dean for kicking ass . . the cast and crew for kicking ass. Congrats!! Apple Pie for Everyone 🙄
Wow we actually did it!!! I am so excited and so honored to have meet so many wanderful fans who share my love for [i]Supernatural[/i]!
I spent that last few weeks voting for the #SPNFamily, because I believe in my heart that they deserve every award they are nomminated for. But we the fans are proud for them for all their hard work.
My life has changed so dramarically (in a good way) the show is brilliant, it is full of love, loyalty, drama, and amazing actor. Watching this show may make you cry or upset, but you look and see the love shared through the acting.
Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are extordinary actor and deserve this award! They have work hard to bring us an amazing show, and they pulled it off! I am so proud and so honored.
So all I wanted to say is thank you again to the cast and crew of Supernatural! And a big thank you to Jared and Jensen! You both rock and deserce the best in life!
Ha!
I’d like to thank my computer, which allows me access to Supernatural episodes, fanfiction, news, spoilers, and all manner of fansites! I’d also like to thank my wireless connection for being generally awesome.
But most of all, thanks to the writers, showrunners, actors, and crew of the Supernatural for creating something so loved by so many. You’d have to be blind not to see the heart, hard work, and devotion not only to the show itself, but to the fans. Thank you for giving me and so many others something entertaining to look forward to every night of the week!
[Shouts/Chants]: “4 more years! 4 more years! 4 more years!” LOL 😛
I am proud to be part of this amazing Supernatural family. This show is so dynamic that we had two incredible nominations for Best Dramatic Actor… no other show did that. So thanks to Jensen and Jared for their stellar performances and to the writers for their great story lines and of course thanks to Supernatural Family for their support above and beyond… we did kick ass! (I’ll have that piece of pie now)
I’m so happy we won! I’m beyond proud to be a SPN fan! I’d like to thank everyone involved with the show, you guys made this all possible for us and we would be nowhere without you! I’d also like to thank my son Dean for changing my life and being my mini SPN fan!
WE DID IT!
Okay, so this ended up being a novel but I have so many ~feelings~ right now!
I want to thank the cast & crew for making a show with values and a story worth fighting for. Your hard work and dedication are what gives us the passion we have for Supernatural. I am so thankful and truly honored to be part of this fandom. I have met so many amazing people here. And being a fan of this show has made me a better person.
A few individual thanks to our main men!
Jensen – Your heart is on your sleeve every moment that you are on that screen. Not a single person could argue that you do not give everything in you when you give us Dean Winchester, and you make us love him. But we love you as Jensen, too! You are talented and kind and I couldn’t imagine anyone else in your place. And I love your beautiful wife, Danneel! I’ve been a fan of hers since the very first season of OTH that she was on (S3!!!) I wish you both all the happiness in the world, and congratulations on Baby Ackles! We can’t wait to welcome him or her into the Supernatural Family!
Jared – Seriously, you are absolutely incredible. Your acting skills astound me. And not only because you act well, but because somehow between all the hundreds (thousands?) of hours of film footage you ruin with your hilarious antics, you still manage to portray Sam Winchester perfectly and with total sincerity. Honest to god, the only “supernatural” thing about this show is how on earth they gather enough footage for a scene! 😛 I am so glad that you are a part of this show, and equally as glad that Gen was too! You two are a beautiful couple (and you made a beautiful baby!) and we can see how in love you are. And to know that Supernatural is what made it possible is incredible and wonderful. And seriously man, you win an award and congratulate *us*!? Only in SPN Family would that happen – most actors would just thank their fans! It just shows that you think of us as equal parts in the success of Supernatural and truly do consider us all a family. We definitely notice it, we appreciate it, and we’re more than happy to help you guys get the respect and recognition you deserve for what you do. It’s what sets us apart from the other fandoms, and that is why this one is so, so special. So thank you.
Jim Beaver: You’re incredible. No other character could make me laugh and cry at the same time the way you have. Bobby is still one of my all time favorite characters on any show ever, and I will miss him always! You’re an incredible actor and an even more incredible human being. And your daughter is amazing! She IM’d me on Facebook during the awards show and we talked about some ideas for writing (and I told her to pass on my congratulations to you! I hope she did!) – she is such a sweet girl and I hope she continues to write. I see an amazing future for her in writing. One of the things I love most about you is that you’re obviously as wonderful of a father in real life as you are to Sam and Dean on the show. Thank you for bringing Bobby to life, for giving the SPN Family a father, and for generally being freakin awesome!
Misha: Oh good lord what can I say about you? You’re absolutely insane and I love you to death. You’re brilliant as Cas, you’ve been brilliant in everything else I’ve seen you in, and yet much of my thanks for you come from outside of your acting work. You are hands down one of the most inspirational people I’ve ever encountered. Considering I have never met you, I think that is saying quite a lot. You have inspired me to do random acts of kindness and to let my “Weird Flag” fly (and also my Christmas tree). Your dedication to just simply being compassionate is amazing. I feel there aren’t enough words for you. You’ve inspired me to run so I can participate in E4K this year – I have lost over 30 lbs doing this. I am not only helping others, but I am getting my life back because of you. I have found a passion for doing work for charity. If I could somehow survive on no money, I would do nothing but volunteer and help others. I wish I could, because it is the one thing in my life that I have found I truly love to do. I would love to act (but that is not working out!) so I’m becoming a nurse, and I hope to take annual medical missions to needy areas 🙂 So thank you, not only for what you have done for this show, but what you have done for me. I could never really put into words how much it really means. Much love to you, your beautiful wife, and gorgeous children.
And to the rest of the fandom: If I wasn’t completely sold on the show, I would have been completely sold on you all. You’re incredible, and I hope to meet some of you some day! Thank you for being part of my family, and allowing me to be a part of yours. I love you all very much
I love your speech, you really put your heart on it, it’s like reading what’s in my mind that I couldn’t expressed any better than this and that’s what I love about my SPNFamily xox
So happy we pulled this off!! I want to thank tumblr for making me give in and watch this amazing show. I’m so happy to be a part of this family, I feel so close to all of you. Thank you to the writers, cast, crew, just everyone. This year will be the best one for us yet, I can tell!
I would like to thank Ginny Hill for introducing me to the show back in freshman year. We held up in our dorm and had marathons everyday until I was caught up. We even spent one night with the lights on and the door salted! I would also like to thank Jared and Jensen for being amazing! And I can’t forget Misha, whose crazy antics have made me stick with the show even when it was going though a bad writing phase! I love all my fellow fans!

Thanks to everyone involved with rage SPN show. You make it easy to be a fan. Proud to be a part of the SPN Family. It is all about family. Thanks to everyone for supporting the family.
To the cast past,present and future this is an incredible honor to be part of the Supernatural family thanks for staying with us for the past eight seasons.Have a drink on us 🙂
Every comment in this thread illustrates why I love this fandom. The passion and love just shines through!
After last year, it is so gratifying to see our boys and the whole show get it it’s moment. Finally.
This is a special show and means so much more to people then the run-of-mill stuff on tv. I don’t know why it has the ability to grab us by the heart and not let go, it just does.
Yeah, this is pretty great. Pie all around. 🙂
Wow. I’d like to appear humble right now but I can’t. The SPN Family completely deserve this honour and I’d like to thank all of us who doggedly voted. This was another chance to come together as a community and show our love for – arguably – the best show on TV. That love encompasses the creator, writers, producers, directors, all the crew, and the cast. Cast that have such great chemistry, talent, commitment, appreciation for the fans, and all-round awesomeness that hooked us in from the start and continues to do so every week, every season. We should all be proud fans…proud of ourselves and proud of the show. And we are.
I’d like to thank the fans I know personally and the fans online who have let me live vicariously through them with every photo, meeting, convention story etc. It makes this Aussie feel not so out of the loop and brings ‘the boys’, the show, and the fans closer together.
I’d also like to give a quick congratulations to Danneel and Jensen on their wonderful news.
We are not to be trifled with!
I would like to thank Jensen and Jared for bringing the character of Sam and Dean Winchester to life. Misha & Jim and all the guest stars and recurring guest stars. To the crew members of the show that help make it a great show. The writers for telling amazing stories. A big thanks to the genius Eric Kripke for creating this show. And to the SPNFamily who voted tirelessly along with me and have stuck by the show. To all those who have converted friends and family to the SPNFamily (I know I have). Thank you all!!!!
Thank you, dear world, dear SPN, dear SPN family, for recognizing, that we are the best at what we do and simply the most lovable in our special kind of crazy!
Thanx to the whole spn family that means cast and crew husbants and eives and most important to all of my brothersand sisters around the world who let me be part of a fantastic swesome bunch of people..
I love my awesome SPNFamily! Together we’re invinsible!
I want to thank Eric Kripke for creating our wonderful Winchester family and having the brilliance to cast Jared and Jensen as Sam and Dean! I want to thank him for bringing in so many talented, creative people to nurture that initial idea and expand it into this intriguing Supernatural universe. Special thanks to Bob Singer, Jeremy Carver and the heart and soul of our show, Kim Manners.
SPNFamily is the whole of all of us, inclusive of the entire cast & crew, the writers, directors, producers and lastly, the fans. I have never been this invested in a TV show or the careers of all those who make that magic. I have never cared so deeply for fictional characters and the talented folk who bring them to life.
There will never be an experience to equal being here from the beginning and watching our Little-Show-That-Could triumph! It has been an amazing ride and it still thrills me, still inspires me, and still makes me smile. Just like the Winchesters, we are dedicated and loyal to our family. It is a priviledge to be a part of the Best Fandom EVER!
B.J.
at home applauding you, just like during the show.
We did it! We did it!! And it’s just because they are amazing at what they do. All in the name of Supernatural!
And Jared comes and thanks US! I was really really touched by his gesture, as well as both Js’ acceptance speech.
If it’s supernaturally possible, I love them even more now!
Thank to Jared Padalecki, your the reason why i´m started watching supernatural. Thanks to Jensen Ackles, your the reason why i´m one of the biggest fans. I mean i´ve voted 6000 times at all. Thanks to all the other fans from supernatural. Thanks to all the people who worked on this show.
First of all I wanna thank each and everyone on Supernatural show. From the main actor to the person who brings food for crew! thank you for working so hard all these years and make the most amazing hours of our lives!
and second, I wanna thank all my friends in SPNfamily because we earned the word family. We were together when this show wasn’t that good, when it was in its best times , when Jared and Jensen got married , when they won awards, when some people told stupid things about out show and we defeat them , when Jared became a daddy… we were all together! we are a family and family isn’t just blood you gotta earn it and we all did! no matter how different our opinions are about the show , we will never be divided. that’s why we are a family!!
Sorry for taking your time people…they say i should cut it off..so , THANK YOU AGAIN ACADEMY!!!
I would like to thank everyone in our fandom who voted their fingers ragged for our awesome show.
Thanks to the wonderful actors, writers, directors, producers,guest stars, location finders, lighting experts, car wranglers, bodyguards, stunt directors, CGI people, stunt guys and make up and hair stylers for this wonderful show which gathers such wonderful fans. Never have I seen another show with this commitment and love for it and that deserved it more!
Not to be sappy, but personally this show gives me reason to be happy and love life even though that life has been lessened by disability. This fan site gives me great pleasure to come here every day to discuss our show with like-minded others.
And bless Jensen and Jared and may they prosper in their private lives along with their beautiful wives and children.
Thank you guys for giving me strength and reasons to go on!
Love you all!
Sorry if I outstayed my time. So ‘bye now.
I would like to Thank Eric Kripke for creating this most awesome tv show with amazing cast and crew that work so hard every day. Would also like to thank the other Supernatural fans for voting. This is quite an honor and Glad to be part of this SUPERtacular fandom.
I would just like to thank my dad for turning me on to the show the tv show writers for writing amazing episodes. Eric Kripke for creating the show. My boys Jensen and Jared for being stupendous actors and the fans. They …we….made this possible
I believe not only the fans won, we are a big family The crew, the producers, the cast, the guest stars, the directors, the writers, their families, Danneel, Vicky, Gen, everybody!
That’s our family, we all won.
First I want to thank Jensen Ackles & Jared Padalecki, without whom we wouldn’t have Supernatural. I want to thank them for saving my life, as well for bringing me into the SPNFamily fold. And for… well… everything that I can write here because no one would believe me anyway. I love you.
Then I want to thank my children, Melody, Mayi & Daniel: they put up with this nutty Mama and love me despite myself; they love the show when I let them watch and I’m grateful that they have patience with/for me. I love you all.
Then I want to thank Jim and the entire net of Producers who pay to put this show on the air. I’d be lost without it.
I want to thank the writers for writing genius.
I want to thank every single guest star, long term & short, that has ever shown up on the Supernatural set. You are brilliant and you move me.
I want to thank the FX guys… ALL of them in every department. You make it believable.
I want to thank all the Directors (miss you Kim) who bring out the best of our men.
I want to thank Clif for keeping our men safe and coming out to play with us when he can.
I want to thank Lou Bollo for keeping our men standing & safe, as well as our delightful stunt men/women who keep our men & women on the show protected.
I want to thank the people who feed our men while keeping them fit & trim.
I want to thank those who dress our men, but please… less layers from, now on would be much appreciated. We need to see their … pecs… yea .. pecs more.
I want to thank those who clean up before & after the cast & crew go home. I hear the set is impeccable. IT’s because of you.
I want to thank our 2 musical geniuses who score our show. You keep it creepy yet beautiful.
I want to thank those who design the show inside & out; from our scouts to the set decorators to the designers to the art department to everyone who makes it look so pretty.
I want to thank Tara for putting up with the SPNFamily and is so good to us.
I want to thank everyone I forgot to thank because this speech has already gone over time & they are giving me dirty looks but know I love and appreciate every single person involved in Supernatural… and I always will.
More, I want to thank my other SPNFamily members. You keep me laughing, crying, smiling, .. and (scarily) sane. Family don’t end with blood… for which I am eternally grateful. I LOVE YOU!
Mostly I want to thank Dean & Sam Winchester. You’re as real to me as my own family & understand me better. Thank you. I will always love you {cue music}.
Wow! I’m speechless, but will try to come up with something! First of all this award is all about family. Supernatural is a big family, whether you just started watching or have been watching since the beginning. Secondly all families are made up of many people for who without everything would be meaningless. I am speaking about the cast, crew, and everyone involved with the show. Third and most importantly a family is a place where all are welcomed and treated like friends (at least when not fighting)! Thanks to everyone in the family!!!!
I have to thank TNT because that’s where I was first really able to see Supernatural, Sam and Dean, Cas, Bobby and all the unforgettable, characters that make the show so enthralling, yes, even the baddies; things would get rather boring without them 😉 I’m so very thankful to Mister Eric Kripke for his vision and wisdom in bringing forth such a particularly unique and at times, literally hauntingly beautiful show, along with every other behind the scenes artist who’s had anything to do with Supernatural’s production; without those producers, writers, makeup artists, location scouts, costume designers, directors, et cetera working so flawlessly together, this show could have been an absolute joke, but it is instead the best show ever, and lending far more than a little to this are the exquisite and inimitable actors Jared and Jensen, who in portraying Sam and Dean respectively bring us into a desperate, angry, terrifying and yet ultimately hopeful world that through it all is surrounded by, fueled by the love of family, and the entire rest of cast at any point, including future cast members are undoubtedly uncompromising as well in their ability to bring the absolute best out of this show, and last, but certainl not least, I must thank my fellow SPN family members; we don’t always agree and can even drive each other a little crazy at times, but we got each other’s backs; we really are a family, and it figures that’s the cornerstone of what brought us together, Supernatural is truly the best show out there, and I’m so very proud to be amongst those who appreciate that, I accept this award with the utmost gratitude, thank you again to everyone who made it possible!
I’ve had to take a few days to write this. I just never know what to say!
I want to thank my Supernatural family for this most extreme honor. Fans, actors, crew, writers, bloggers, publicists, network executives and even food truck drivers. We are all in this together, and always have been. This isn’t a victory for one person or one set of people. It’s for anyone that’s ever played a role in making “Supernatural†the show it is. That even counts the one guy on the couch that devoted a few hours of his life to watching while channel surfing.
My dear friend Lynn in the Fandom thread summed it up best, the relationships in this SPN Family are all based on mutual appreciation. The crew and actors are in awe of us just as much as we fans are in awe of them. That’s why the third highest rated show on a low rated network that most people haven’t heard of continues to thrive in the almost impossible to reach eighth season. A majority of TV shows don’t make it past their first season, and a much smaller number actually make it to 100 episodes. Once a show gets past 160 episodes, they are in really small company. Stuff like this doesn’t happen by accident. It requires teamwork.
I smile knowing that none of us knew what we were getting into when we started this. Think about it, Jared and Jensen were working actors who auditioned for parts. They had no idea what was to come of this acting job. The same can be said for Eric Kripke, who was a struggling Hollywood screenwriter of low budget horror. I’m sure a fan who was at home one morning doing housework and turned on TNT had no clue what was coming. I certainly couldn’t have imagined in my wildest dreams writing about my new favorite show would lead to all the amazing opportunities it has for me. But, you see, it’s more than that. I’ve gotten the chance to meet and know so many amazing people, online and in person. That’s the part I wouldn’t trade for anything. I’m not the only one. Thousands, perhaps even millions, can say the same thing. Watching this one TV show has impacted some in at least one way, and others the effect has been life changing.
If you notice, a lot have had babies and seen their children grow since Supernatural has come on the air. Some of us have lost loved ones. Some of us have had major health issues. Some of us have lost jobs, or found new ones. We have celebrated with and leaned on each other through the years, and having that support has made us stronger.
I’ve met numerous casts and crew from other TV shows over the years and I can honestly say only one other show has had this very special camaraderie that I’ve seen with “Supernatural†(that show was “Chuckâ€). TV related work is a job to most people, but with “Supernatural,†it’s a fellowship. It’s a family. And I’m a member of that family. We are entitled to celebrate our triumphs, because they are often few and far between from the usual daily grind.
So, today I’m grateful, humble, and I’m stretching out my arms for the biggest group hug that’s even been seen. I love you guys.
Thank you.
Ginger, yeah, SPN family’s really the collective, I’m partial to Hunter and just plain SPNer, and I think Saltgunner will grow on me after kicking it around a bit, but either way, I don’t mind the group fandom name being used, I appreciate the whole family thing is so ingrained in people’s minds. 😉 *beams proudly*
I’m not gonna even try to write a speech, whatever I write is so pale compared to what you guys have written already..
And Alice, your words touched me deeply, I still remember watching the first episode of the first season, and suffering like crazy some months later waiting for the show to be renewed for a second season – I could never have imagined that it would get 100 episodes, let alone – 8 seasons…
Wow, we have accomplished a lot of things…
Thanks Supernatural fans all over the world for sharing with me the love for this amazing serie.
Take care everybody and God bless you all.
Clarice; }
Would love to see Supernatural make it to 200 episodes…think we can do it gang?
I would like to start by thanking my family, friends and co-workers for putting up with my Supernatural obsession.
I would also like to thank Eric Kripke for coming up with this amazing show for us, without you we wouldn’t be here.
A huge thanks to all the cast and crew for making the show as awesome today as it has always been. You guys continue to astound me with your hard work and dedication to the show.
Finally i want to thank each and every member of the SPNFamily, or my real family as i have come to think of you. This is probably because i spend nearly all of my time with you either on twitter, tumblr or fb.
Since i became a proud member of the SPNFamily only a few years ago my life has been filled with so much more excitement, laughter and of course emotional turmoil. It has led me to support new charities, to take part in events like GISHWHES, and it is giving what i hope will be the holiday of a lifetime when i go to VanCon13 to meet all my SPNFamily this year!
Acceptance Speech: Best TV Fan Following
Winners: Supernatural Fans
Here goes…
Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking….. ( no, really..)
I guess my first thank you has to be to me for randomly turning on the telly 2 or 3 years ago and, if memory serves me right, catching half of “The Real Ghostbusters”. Noted the when and where of this programme and tuned in again and again. Soon glued to TV every Wednesday at 10pm ( and often every Sunday for the repeat!!)
When I realised how long the series had been going I investigated a little and just went for it: happy owner of seasons 1-6 bluray box set :D. ( goes without saying 7 has now been added to the collection). Went to my first convention last year – Asylum 8 – and have got 2 booked up for this year: Asylum 10 and a holiday ( first in years!) to… …..Vancouver in August!!! 😀 – so all being well I will actually meet Jared and Jensen! ( photo op booked! )
Cannot write an acceptance speech without mentioning the inspired Eric Kripke and the Supernatural cast and crew – what an amazing team! The acting, directing, photography&camera work, writing, special effects, makeup&costume, art dept&set design, location scouting, production team etc. etc. fantastic! Hope I have not missed anyone out, you all deserve our congratulations for the work you do – and for your award too!
Oh, can I finally mention… The amazing talented actors which have been at the core of this show since it’s inception: Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles: yes they are gorgeous – and I freely admit to being in love with Sam Winchester! – but I don’t think that looks alone would have carried the show through 8 seasons. They are hard-working, truly talented and loyal. As much as it pains me that Supernatural will end one day, I also look forward to their future projects with great anticipation…
…and I will always have Supernatural. I am guessing that I am not the only one when I mention watching the whole series through 2 or 3 times since getting my box set? – and dipping in and watching an episode or 2 stand alone for an evenings entertainment? Recently as one/two offs I watched: Born Under A Bad Sign, Yellow Fever, The Man who Knew too Much, and fab double-feature; I Know What You Did Last Summer + Heaven and Hell.
Thank you Supernatural cast and crew for producing the show. Thank you Supernatural fans for keeping it going.
Special thanks to Jared and Jensen.
I would also like to thank my friends and family for their tolerance and love and God for allowing Supernatural into my life.
Sue
Ps. My predictive text knows how to spell Padalecki …!
Pps. Did we win? Hell Yeah!!!

I would like to thank the entire SPNFamily for their tireless voting and incredible commraderie on twitter during the voting.
