!!Tropes associated with Sarah Michelle Gellar:
* [[invoked]] AwardSnub: Critics were outraged when Gellar wasn't even nominated for an Emmy for her work in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.
** [[invoked]] Also subverted; while she never got recognition for the role from the Emmys, she did win six Teen Choice Awards over the course of Buffy's run.

!!Tropes associated with Sarah Michelle Gellar:
* [[invoked]] AwardSnub: Critics were outraged when Gellar wasn't even nominated for an Emmy for her work in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.
** [[invoked]] Also subverted; while she never got recognition for the role from the Emmys, she did win six Teen Choice Awards over the course of Buffy's run.
Gellar’s roles:



* DeadpanSnarker: See ACupAngst above for one example.
* HappilyMarried: To Freddie Prinze Jr., who also plays her love interest in ''Film/ScoobyDoo2002''.



* IronicFear: Starting with ''Buffy'''s second season, almost all of the graveyard scenes were filmed in fake cemeteries. This was a concession to Sarah, who is phobically afraid of [[BuriedAlive the real thing]]. And this was ''after'' she actually needed to film a scene where she's buried alive in the episode "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E10Nightmares}} Nightmares]]".
* JustForFun/OneOfUs: To call her a huge Buffy/Angel shipper would be putting it lightly, at best. Whenever she’s asked to name her favorite of Buffy’s love interests, she will, without a moments hesitation, say Angel. She has on various occasions referred to them as “soul mates”, saying that they are two bodies that share one soul. She has also stated that whenever she was doing emotional scenes involving the characters, she wasn’t acting.
** Her dedication to the ship is one of the MANY reasons she is outspoken about her intense dislike of the sixth season.

!!Tropes associated with Sarah Michelle Gellar:
* ACupAngst: [[PetitePride Averted]]. A TV Guide interviewer once asked what she thought of a rumour that she'd had breast enhancement surgery. Gellar's response was to cackle[[note]](seriously, that's how the guy wrote it up in the article; see AnnoyingLaugh below)[[/note]], point to her breasts, and say "If I'd paid for these, don't you think I'd want them to look better?"
* AnnoyingLaugh: To the point that she tries not to laugh in public when she can help it. Her hubbie, Creator/FreddiePrinzeJr, has described her laugh as "a hyena suffering through an epileptic fit."
* [[invoked]] AwardSnub: Critics were outraged when Gellar wasn't even nominated for an Emmy for her work in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.
** [[invoked]] Also subverted; while she never got recognition for the role from the Emmys, she did win six Teen Choice Awards over the course of Buffy's run.
* DawsonCasting: She almost always played a teenager when she was in her mid- and late-20s, to the point that it was jarring when she ''didn't.'' For example, in the same year (1999) she played a high schooler in ''Film/CruelIntentions'' and a co-owner of a restaurant in ''Simply Irresistible.''
* DeadpanSnarker: See ACupAngst above for one example.
* HappilyMarried: To Freddie Prinze Jr., who also plays her love interest in ''Film/ScoobyDoo2002''.
* IAmNotLeonardNimoy: Although she's done other work, including situational comedy, she only really has a single character; a greater or less intense version of the ActionGirl she played in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. Also, people who know Gellar personally have said that when she acts, she's often just playing Sarah Michelle Gellar in a costume.
* IronicFear: Starting with ''Buffy'''s second season, almost all of the graveyard scenes were filmed in fake cemeteries. This was a concession to Sarah, who is phobically afraid of [[BuriedAlive the real thing]]. And this was ''after'' she actually needed to film a scene where she's buried alive in the episode "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E10Nightmares}} Nightmares]]".
* JustForFun/OneOfUs: To call her a huge Buffy/Angel shipper would be putting it lightly, at best.

She has also stated that whenever she was doing emotional scenes involving the characters, she wasn’t acting.
** Her dedication to the ship is one of the MANY reasons she is outspoken about her intense dislike of the sixth season.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
** In the ''Buffy'' episode "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E16BewitchedBotheredAndBewildered}} Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered]]", her character is transformed into a rat by a witch's curse. This was due to Sarah being booked to host ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', leading to the writers turning Buffy into a rat so she could get some well-earned rest.
** In the episode "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E11Gone}} Gone]]", Buffy gets an ImportantHaircut because Sarah had asked to cut her hair shorter in real life.

Self-revision: apparently this is the plural of Emmy.


** [[invoked]] Also subverted; while she never got recognition for the role from the Emmies, she did win six Teen Choice Awards over the course of Buffy's run.
