The Creative Artsys Emmys 2009 awards precedes the televised Emmys every year, and this particular year had some great winners.

Comedy Central’s South Park won its fourth Emmy in the Animated Program (less than one hour) category.  Two Saturday Night Live talents won Emmys for their hilarious acts in the weekly late-night show.  Former cast member and writer Tina Fey won an Emmy for her perfect and timely portrayal of Sarah Palin, and recurring host and musical guest Justin Timberlake snagged an Emmy for his comedic triumphs during this past season.  The two Interactive Media awards went to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Lost for their awesome web content, the Digital Experience and “Dharma Initiative,” respectively.

Lastly, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog won an Emmy in the short-format live-action entertainment program category, a category, mind you, that was essentially created for the hit web act.  Congratulations Joss Whedon, the Whedon sons, Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day, Nathan Fillion, Maurissa Tancheron, and the rest of the Dr.H cast and crew.  You most definitely deserved an Emmy for your unique, crafty, and spectacular work.  We are all looking forward to a repeat win next year for the oft-rumored Dr.H sequel!

Make sure to catch the 2009 Emmy Awards next Sunday at 8PM on CBS.  It’s hosted by NPH, so it’s a must-see.
