Emmy loves Shaun   (04.10.10)
  

   No, Emmy's not a girl-sheep, dearest reader. She's a shiny
   American television award given out by the International Academy of    Television Arts and Sciences, and she's highly coveted amongst
   executives and producers around the world. This year's nominees
   have just been announced and it's been a bumper year for the Brits,
   with UK productions included in nine of the ten different award
   categories that will be up for grabs come November 22nd,
   when the winners are revealed.

   Best of all, Shaun the Sheep has been given a nod in the
   Children and Young People category. And that's the second time
   he's been nominated. In fact, he won the thing, back in 2008.
   Aardman Animation must be doubly delighted this time!

   On the night, Shaun will be up against 13 at War
   (NPS Broadcasting Organisation / The Netherlands),
   Do-Re-Mi-Factory (TV Globo / Brazil), and Happy Birthday
   (Fuji Television Network, Inc./ Japan), and you can bet we'll
   be keeping our hooves and paws crossed for him
   and Aardman...
