Winner, Best Series Finale: Still M*A*S*H, no contest.
Runner-up, Best Season Finale: Buffy, season two, "Becoming": Drucilla kills Kendra; Buffy's expelled from school; Buffy makes a deal with Spike; Joyce threatens to kick Buffy out; Willow restores Angel's soul; Buffy realizes that Angel's soul is back, kisses him, then kills him to stop an apoclypse; and Buffy leaves home while Sarah McLachlan's "Full of Grace" plays in the background and KKC weeps.
Winner, Best Season Finale: Buffy, season five, "The Gift": Buffy sacrifices herself to defeat Glory and save Dawn. It's one of the most beautiful and heart-wrenching moments of television I've seen. "Buffy, NO!" "Dawnie, I have to." Buffy voices-over while she's dying, "Tell Giles that I get it-- and I'm okay." Her friends see her lifeless body and fall to the ground... and KKC sobs.
