With My Freaze Ray I Will Stop The World

Well the Emmy nominations were announced today and I was supper exited at one of the nominees. About 6 months ago my friend introduced me to this:



As stated on wikipedia: "it is a 43-minute musical film, initially produced exclusively for Internet distribution in 2008. It tells the story of Dr. Horrible, an aspiring supervillain; Captain Hammer, his nemesis; and Penny, their mutual love interest.

The movie was penned during the WGA writers' strike. The idea was to create something small and inexpensive, yet professionally done, in a way that would circumvent the issues that were being protested during the strike."

I could not have said it better my self. I thought it was very hilarious when I first saw it and I was supper exited today to see that it has been nominated for an Emmy. That's right EMMY!

Its category is:

Outstanding Special Class - Short-format Live-Action Entertainment Programs

and the nominees are:

30 Rock's Kenneth the Web Page

Battlestar Galactica: The Face Of The Enemy

Bruce Springsteen Super Bowl Halftime Show

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog •

The Daily Show: The Daily Show Correspondents On Jon Stewart


I read today also that Niel Patrick Harris Dr. Horrible himself is going to host the Emmy's and that he might even reprise his role as part of the shows entertainment. All this boils down to I AM WATCHING THE EMMY'S THIS YEAR.

Amen.
