Early Emmy Awards

« on: Sep 10, 2007, 12:52 PM »

The "Scientific" Emmy Awards (aka "The Emmys no one wants to see on the live broadcast) were given out Saturday. One award that I was extremely interested won:

OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL MUSIC AND LYRICS

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, Composer & Lyricist
JORMA TACCONE, Composer & Lyricist
KATREESE BARNES, Composer
ASA TACCONE, Composer
AKIVA SCHAFFER, Lyricist
ANDY SAMBERG, Lyricist

Saturday Night Live
Host: Justin Timberlake
Song title: “Dick In A Box”

If you have never seen this segment, go out to youtube and search for it. But don't do it at work. The "Dick" in the title refers to a male sex organ. It is hands down THE funniest things ever to be shown on Saturday Night Live.

I am still stunned that the Emmys used the correct name for this song. And that it won.

Didn't the Emmys threaten to pull the nomination if Timberlake didn't change the name and he absolutely refused?

I didn't hear about that but there is speculation that the song (probably edited to "Junk in the Box" like it is on reruns) could be performed on Sunday night's telecast of the "real" Emmys. Andy Samberg is ready and Justin Timberlake is in LA this weekend.

Of course, with Kathy Griffin's remarks being censored for the E! telecast of the Technical Awards (shown Saturday night from the earlier ceremony), the Emmys already have one big controversy to deal with.
