Or, you know, The Guild, which won just as many awards as BSG: FotE.

You're right. We'll amend the story.

The Guild was brilliant and season 2 has been running, I believe, and I need to catch up. You can also talk about the fact that Felicia Day was also involved in Dr Horrible and it is undeniable that she contributed to its success. She's becoming quite the web-maven.

Saw the Streamys online and thought it was really well done...a couple of rough spots here and there but overall what a great job...Love The Guild and Felicia Day's speech was great...probably got the biggest reaction of the night...Sweet....

I ADORE Felicia Day! It's frightening how much appeal she has in Dr. Horrible. (Also love her in the new Best Buy ad.) I will definitely have to investigate further The Guild.

Oops, it's a Sears ad, evidently, not Best Buy. Could swear she's wearing a blue shirt in the ad, but gues not.

It's great to see this medium finally get some recoginition . It's the new media after all.
I was a little disappointed the sci-fi series After Judgment got snubbed with 6 nominations, but that's how these things can go. It's such an interesting show and a bit different from sci-fi stuff out there.
