History Awesome / Nashville

* Whatever his reasons, Jeff gets one for [[spoiler: saving Juliette from jumping off a roof in "Please Help Me, I'm Fallin'"... even if it becomes a DyingMomentOfAwesome for him]].

* Scarlett letting Deacon have it in "Stop The World (And Let Me Off)" [[spoiler: for his behaviour after Scarlett turned off Beverly's life support]].

* Will [[spoiler: finally coming out]] in "Before You Go Make Sure You Know."

* Scarlett telling off her mother for good after [[spoiler:she refuses to donate part of her liver to Deacon]], outright calling her a terrible person before coldly saying "You're burning daylight."

** In the same episode, Caleb defying ProtagonistCenteredMorality by telling Scarlett everyone else on the donor list has their own loved ones and deserve a shot just as much as Deacon, so he's not going to pull any strings for her.

* There's a point in Season 3's opening when Juliette and Avery are still at odds, and she auditions for a drama to play Patsy Kline. The actor opposite her propositions her off-set, but for once Juliette doesn't jump straight into someone stranger's arms assuming it will fix her problems. Can we just get a round of applause for Miss Barnes?

* Scarlett throwing Gunnar's 'all I felt was music' line back in his face. She's still not convinced he's chasing her for the right reasons, and she's not about to repeat her mistake of getting back with an ex because it seems familiar.

** Followed by Sadie [[spoiler:finally just shooting him when he comes after her again.]]

* Rayna's verbal emasculation of [[spoiler: Pete, Sadie's ex.]]

* Avery telling off his father, saying that all his overbearing parenting has gotten him is two kids who want nothing to do with him, and he's not going to raise his own kid like that.

* Lamar going {{Papa Wolf}} on Teddy after the divorce starts. "An oath. Kind of like a vow, isn't it?"

* Rayna and Juliette's duet, with a song they wrote together. Despite their distaste for each other, they're able to be professional and give an epic performance (which also makes it a real life MomentOfAwesome for Connie Britton and HaydenPanettiere).

* Mario van Peebles' guest spot as Jeff's boss who outright asks him if he has problems with women after managing to lose both Rayna and Juliette as mentioned above.

* The season 3 premiere seamlessly incorporating two live performances into the episode.

* Michelle Obama's guest appearance, introducing a concert at a military base.

* "It's All Wrong, But It's All Right" features back-to-back Moments Of Awesome for Juliette; first by refusing to apologize to the religious bigots who have been wrecking her career (and doing so in musical form to boot), and then giving Jeff a much-deserved TheReasonYouSuckSpeech [[spoiler: telling him that she may have just torched her career, but also took him down a few pegs in the process (as she points out, losing two of his biggest acts in his first six months running a record label - Rayna quit and Juliette was dropped - isn't the smartest thing to do)]].

* Scarlett calling out her mother for a lifetime of emotional and physical abuse, through song.

** Concurrent to this, one for Glenn, who tells Jeff he didn't know she'd do it...and if he did, he'd have advised her to a) call Jeff out by name and b) suggest he perform an anatomically impossible bowel function with the [=TelePrompTer=].
