Awesome!! Does anyone know if a cancelled series has ever won an Emmy "PostMortem"?

They will learn: Can't take the sky from us!!

Way to go, guys! You were winners with us without the Emmy!

I think both Futurama and Family Guy both picked up Emmys. I'll need to go and double check though.

Okay, went and check out the info at IMDB. Both shows won Emmys in 2002. Doesn't look good for Fox, does it?

I think it is great the Firefly won the Emmy. Amazing how Fox can cancel shows that pick up Emmys before the awards are even won. Guess there is no accounting for taste.

Yes, there have been canceled shows that have won Emmy awards.
The Emmys is not about viewership. They are voted on by members of the Academy ( http://www.emmys.com/membership/index.php).
The cool thing is that your peers honor you.
Take THAT Fox.

Has anyone heard if Joss intends to use the same effects and cinematography crews? I really hope so. They did some really amazing stuff in my opinion. It was subtle, but the innovative lighting and camera techniques had a lot to do with the intimate feel of the series. I'm hoping they retain that for the movie, but I'm concerned that they may feel the need to go with something more 'epic' given that it's a feature film and not a serial drama.
