If NY does garner a nomination, I think it would be fantastic to do something above and beyond, to show all SAG members (the entire membership votes on the nominations, not just the Nominating Committee members) how much fans love CSI:NY. Perhaps we could get fans to contribute to collectively taking out an ad in one of the trades. If I recall correctly, a 1/2 page black and white ad in Variety or The Hollywood Reporter goes for like $2,500. Yes, I realize the bulk of the fans online are dirt poor, but it's really not all that much money. Alternatively, there are other publications read by SAG members (namely the unemployed ones) that have far cheaper rates - like Backstage West. And we have truly talented fans (*cough*Kimmy*cough*) who might be willing to design the ad, as well as fans with the legal knowledge (*cough*me*cough*) to negotiate with CBS for use of their trademark and copyrighted images in an ad (hell, we'd be doing them a favor). We can worry about the logistics of that much later, as trying to reach a large population of SAG members falls further down the road in this process.
