Superbowl Halftime Show Grabs Emmy Nods

Prince's magical rain-soaked performance at the Superbowl was just nominated for 2 Primetime Emmy Awards, according to emmys.tv, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences website. The halftime show was nominated for Outstanding Special Class Program and Outstanding Technical Direction, Camerawork, Video for a Miniseries, Movie or Special. Although Prince himself was not nominated, these nominations are a reminder of a spectacular show and a tip of the hat to the work that camera crews did in treacherous conditions.

Desrevedly so... probably the show of his life.
The team must've made serious contingency plans regarding safety too. Spectacular.

Prince is so willing 2 do the work, that all his accomplishments and blessings are coming in from all directions. All the crew members, staff, photographers, fans; etc that made the Superbowl halftime the best in its history is just another great moment in Prince History. The creator of the Symbol stage was truly a work of art. Purple Rain, Purple Rain, Purple Prince.

Someone had asked what this "Special Class Program" is. It's kind of a catch-all category. Here are this year's nominees in that category, according to the Emmy website:

Outstanding Special Class Program

79th Annual Academy Awards • ABC • Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
Producers TBD

The 64th Golden Globe Awards • NBC • Dick Clark Productions, Inc.
Producers TBD

Jerry Seinfeld - The Comedy Award • HBO • The Comedy Festival
Producers TBD

Prince Super Bowl XLI Halftime Show • CBS • Don Mischer Productions in association with NFL Network and White Cherry Entertainment
Producers TBD

The 60th Annual Tony Awards (2006) • CBS • White Cherry Entertainment in association with Tony Awards Productions
Producers TBD

Maybe I'm naive, but I actually think he has a chance to WIN it!

I was just doing some digging in the Emmy archives on their website, and as far as I am able to tell, this is the FIRST TIME that a Superbowl Halftime Show has been nominated for an Emmy Award!

The Outstanding Special Class Program category is not given out every year. It appears to be a category that comes and goes when enough events garner enough votes to fill up a nomination slate in a given year. But I don't see any other Superbowl-related anything on the list of past nominees and/or winners.

So no matter what happens, this is a big deal and a reminder of what a magical show that was.

And if we're in need of a silly omen, maybe we can use this:
Barry Manilow won an Emmy last year, and we've been accusing Prince of lifting from "Could It Be Magic" (Chopin prelude...whatever) in "Planet Earth." HA HA! Maybe it's a sign...

i wonder why this isn't on the 3121.com site. i mean- Prince isn't nomimated but he's the reason the show was great. and i think the camera work of the show was great. i wonder why Prince wasn't nomiated. there's a category he would have been perfect in- i forgot what it was though. lemme check.

Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Special <<< not Prince himself, but the halftime special could go in this category.

Outstanding Individual Performance In A Variety Or Music Program -- Prince could have been in this category. I mean, Ellen Degeneres is nominated for hosting the Oscars.....

i really think thats gonna be a hard one to beat for the next halftime shows.

I finally figured out why they call it the 'Wonder Bra'... coz when she takes it off you wonder where her tits went.

No fuses blew. The guitar was just turned down in the mix in favour of the audience singing along. A mistake in my book though still a great halftime show.

yeah...thinking back on it...there were some GREAT camera shots that added greatly to the entertainment value. Lots of long range pans to close-ups...great angles...plus all of that coupled with the impediment of the rain....BRAVO camera crew and technical direction people...U made da man look good when it easily could have been dissasterous.

One bright day in the middle if the night,
2 dead boys got up to fight.
Back 2 back they faced each other,
drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf Policeman head this noise,
he came and shot the 2 dead boys.
