The Creative Arts Emmy award winners were announced this week, and while The Simpsons were in contention for Outstanding Animated Series for the episode ‘Gone Maggie Gone’, it failed to bring home the goods. Instead, South Park took the award, thanks to their episode ‘Margaritaville’. It is the third time South Park have beaten The Simpsons in this category.
It wasn’t all bad news though, as Dan Castellaneta was awarded his fourth Emmy in the voice-over category for his work as Homer Simpson in ‘Father Knows Worst’. This means that contenders Harry Shearer and Hank Azaria missed out, but at least the award stayed in the Simpsons family. Congratulations Dan!
The Simpsons was also nominated in the Outstanding Musical Composition category for the music in ‘Gone Maggie Gone’, but lost to ABC series “Legend Of The Seeker”.
Haha, nice picture. Good for him!
This year the award went from “juried” with multiple winners to a regular category with five nominees and one winner.
