That's really good news. The show was spectacular!




Congratulations to Prince and all those nominated for all the hard work, that made it go off without a hitch, in such adverse conditions!

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 was in the dance cast on the field...ya think maybe they got one of those Emmys set aside for me?

Wow that's incredible. Prince did the damn thing and thensome. Prince is just in a different zone from everyone else and it's great!

Prince ! Wow! Congrats!

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.....

it was very well put together i thought... when i was watching it live i was just sitting there waiting for Purple Rain i knew he had to play it lol. and he didnt fail to impress it was great

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

for camera/tech ppl's
well deserved nominations- it's often the behind the scenes ppl's who get 4gotten

but,
if Prince hadn't put on such a great performance.....
so, 4 P 2

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.

When will the Emmy's show be televised?

WOW! Great news.

That show Prince did was great.

CONGRATS 2 "PRINCE", HIS DANCERS, VOCALISTS AND BAND 4 A GREAT SUPER-BOWL PERFORMANCE!!! U GUYS WILL PROBABLY WIN THOSE 2 NOMINATIONS, BUT IT'S GREAT 2 B RECOGNIZED 4 SUCH AN ELECTRIFYING AND SPELLBOUNDING PERFORMANCE(REMINDS ME OF MS. DIANA ROSS'S NEW YORK--CENTRAL PARK (RAINY) PERFORMANCE!!!!) U GUYS KEEP UP DA GR8 WORK!!!

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.
