Congratulations Horrible team! You guys deserved it a hundred times. One will have to do for now, though.

This is a sign that web content can get Emmys, too. Maybe next year it will be Felicia Day's turn, or Lisa Kudrow's, or the next big star hoping to make a splash with web-only shows. This is legend....ary!

Just Awesome.

Felicia is all happy too. She tweeted "Dr Horrible WON!!!!!!!!!" and then " Is that the first time a show won an Emmy and never was on tv? :D"

Isn't this also an amusing fact that Joss Whedon's first Emmy victory is a show not involved with any television network involvement?

Artists who struck for a place in the middle class
Produced this themselves and kicked some creative ass
Attend the tale of Dr. Horrible
An Emmy statue is unignorable!

Yes. And see if someone can printup some Emmy cardboard cutouts or something else similar to put up at the theater! Maybe catch some newbies!

I totally heart how Dr H has gone from a random geek thing to being the little web production that could. And did.
I just feel like hugging everyone. But then, I'm kinda drunk, so...?!

At the point of the strike, I remember joss posting a kinda-of call to arms thing here, where he referenced a bunch of us and - in effect - asked for our help with the situation. Kinda. Sorta. I remember him asking me (in said post) to help them get their word out. And I remember thinking 'How? Big Media has all the money and all the power of their platform'.
I replied to joss, here, saying respectfully - you've got that fight, we can try and help you win it, but you have the platform of fandom and talent to get something out there. A message.
I've no idea if he read that, or if anybody did since I loves me some speechification. But he and his friends went on to make an entirely indy production which won a fucking Emmy.
That speaks volumes to people I can't even begin to type (plus, iPhone). So happy.

Congratulations Team Horrible!!! Joss is finally an Emmy winner. How ironic is that?
I can't wait to tell my son. All of a sudden a week or so ago my son told me he was a huge fan of Dr. Horrible. It was so weird because I didn't get that feeling at all before. I mean we went to the sing a long at the Paley Center last spring and he enjoyed it, but I did not get the feeling he was all that keen. NOw he LOVES it.
Damn, I wish I could get a ticket for him for the show in NYC on the 21st.

wiesengrund | September 13, 07:40 CET
sarahisavampire | September 13, 07:43 CET
No, only nominations *sigh*
Emmy Awards:
* Outstanding Hairstyling For A Series -- "Hell's Bells" (2002)
* Outstanding Makeup (non-prosthetic) for a Series -- "Hell's Bells" (2002)
* Outstanding Makeup (prosthetic) for a Series -- "Hell's Bells" (2002)
* Outstanding Music Direction -- "Once More with Feeling" (2002)
* Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series -- "[Chosen]]" (2003)
Krusher | September 13, 07:44 CET
Encore!
jcs | September 13, 07:57 CET
Hm, according to IMDb, we'd have to add:
* Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series -- "Hush" (2000)
* Outstanding Cinematography for a Single Camera Series -- "Hush" (2000)
* Outstanding Hairstyling for a Series -- "Beer Bad" (2000)
* Outstanding Makeup for a Series -- "The Zeppo" (1999)
* Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series -- "Lover's Walk" (1999)
* Outstanding Makeup for a Series -- "Suprise"/"Innocend" (1998) Won
* Outstanding Hairstyling for a Series -- "Becoming I & II" (1998)
* Outstanding Makeup for a Series -- "Welcome To The Hellmouth" (1997)
And I guess OMWF was "technically" nominated for writing.
I don't know how reliable IMDb is for that kind of stuff. But I do remember that "Hush"-nomination being mentioned on other places too. ;)
wiesengrund | September 13, 08:04 CET
ETA: Hush atleast lost to The West Wing & Aaron Sorkin, there's no shame in that. The Once More With Feeling ballot thing on the other hand was just stupid.

So, when do we start the campaign to get Emmy recognition for "The Guild"?

Considering that E! has the broadcast rights to the ceremony, don't expect anything like this until Friday when it airs, unless someone in the audience bootlegged it, which I doubt.

With Joss's gracious permission and assistance, CSTS events were allowed to show Dr. Horrible and the Commentary this year and it was very well-received by everyone at our event. A lot of positive comments - and new fans! :)
samatwitch | September 13, 13:03 CET
Off-topic, the final CSTS event this year, in Dublin, is a Dr. Horrible screening that accidentally happens on my birthday.

I've located the WHEDONesque Joss-post you mentioned: here and while Joss was asking us for ideas/ways to help get the word out specifically about the Pencils 2 Media Moguls strike campaign, what is actually fascinating to see today about his post is that it's obvious that Joss was already working on Doctor Horrible when he mentioned you & the rest of us. Note that his post contains:
"EVIL LEGION of EVIL"
"E.L.E."
"Best, Dr Horri -- a man"
It's very cool to notice in retrospect - knowing what we know now, and via his sly hints - that he was already working on his Emmy-winning production just a few weeks after the strike began.
