Yahoo! Another Emmy Nomination!

[Czas na Zywiec]

Thanks to FOX's constant pre-empting of episodes and the lazybess to air them, Futurama was elligible to get nominated for an Emmy this TV season. Here's some info I found out about it.

Last year, Futurama won the Emmy in its main category even after FOX forced the production to discontinue. Now, the 55th Annual Primetime Emmy nominations are in and Futurama again conquered one of the precious 5 slots allotted to the creative arts category of "Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming Less Than One Hour)". The competition looks as follows:

As Told By Ginger - And She Was Gone
Kim Possible - Crush
The Simpsons - Three Gays Of The Condo
SpongeBob SquarePants - New Student Starfish/Clams

Futurama enters the race with the episode "Jurassic Bark" which stirred up quite some discussion and dissent among fans. The day after it aired we got a lot of hits from search terms like "Futurama Dog" as people who previously didn't get invovled into nerdy internet discussions joined in. Even by today, this episode is the most reviewed one on this site.

The winner of this year will be announced on September 13th at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Last year, E! aired a 2 hour special. I don't yet know if they will do so again.
Ironically, FOX's strategy of death by installments makes Futurama eligible for another Emmy nomination next year.

That episode oif the Simpsons was awful, and I'm a big fan. So if Futurama doesn't win, we'll know it's rigged. I got this info from www.gotfuturama.com

Joy.
