Can't get enough Futurama
In Color

Creative Emmy Ceremony today

Short reminder: Today at 8pm, E! will broadcast a 2 hour summary of the 54th Creative Emmy Awards where Futurama won the Emmy for best animated program.
As the original cerermony was longer and had no commercial breaks, it's not yet sure if the Futurama part will be shown.

Update: Thanks go to Don Del Grande for this transcript of David X. Cohen's acceptance speech
This is a huge surprise; in fact, all I have with me is my concession speech, so if it's okay, I'm going to read this, but wherever the word "lose" appears, I'm just going to have to stick the word "win" in, so bear with me. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, and, frankly, extremely angry that we had to win tonight. I don't mean to win my temper, but literally hundreds of people worked hard and pointlessly to produce this winning episode, including Stewart Burns, who wrote it; Rich Moore, who directed; our animators, the cast, Matt Groening, and all the writers and producers here with me now. As you can see, just by looking at them, they're all just a big bunch of winners. Now, I say we all head down to the bar and drink until we win consciousness. Thank you very much, everybody.

They DID show the presentation, but E! had edited the entire show cutting out any walking up/back to the stage so it went quickly. The speech was funny though, they said they would simply read their concession speech but replace "lose" with "win". The Speech was funny, the "It's great to work with a bunch of 'winners'" and "Now we will all go to the bar and drink til we 'win' consciousness" were good lines. There was a whole South Park "behind the scenes" thing before the award so it took away from Futurama putting more emphisis on South Park, but still congrats Futurama.
Also, Matt looks a bit chubby.

Sounds great. Not living in the US, I didn't get to watch it. Did anyone record it and could do a transcript of the cohen speech? Would be nice if someone could mail it to me for publishing.
