This Just In!
I just found out that The Simpsons won the Emmy for Best Animated Program (against South Park, Family Guy and others). This category is included in the "Creative Arts" ceremony which was held last night. The major categories will be awarded a week from tonight in the televised ceremony.
Proving that sensationalism doesn't necessarily equal a statuette, The Simpsons won for Outstanding Animated Program for the ninth time, beating out South Park's Scientology-skewering "Trapped in the Closet" episode, which had been pulled from Comedy Central's rerun schedule until it garnered an Emmy nod last month.
"This is what happens when you don't mock Scientology," The Simpsons executive producer Al Jean said while accepting the best series honor. Kelsey Grammer also notched a win for his voice work as Sideshow Bob.
Go Simpsons!
