And these include the Following Nominations
-Outstanding Children's Animated Program
-Outstanding performer- Nancy Cartwright (As Rufus)
-Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and composition- Adam Berry
-Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing- Melissa Ellis and Fil Brown
-Outstanding Achievement in sound editing- Paca Thomas and Robbi SmithOne correction:

The KP nomination in Outstanding Performer is not for Nancy Cartwright (that was last year) but for Christy Carlson Romano herself. Here's the full category:

MEL BROOKS, as WILEY THE SHEEP in JAKERS! THE ADVENTURES OF PIGGLEY WINKS (PBS)
JOAN CUSACK, as THE NARRATOR in PEEP AND THE BIG WIDE WORLD (TLC)
KEVIN MICHAEL RICHARDSON, as THE JOKER in THE BATMAN (KIDS WB)
CHRISTY ROMANO, as KIM in KIM POSSIBLE (DIS)
HENRY WINKLER, as NORVILLE in CLIFFORD'S PUPPY DAYS (PBS)

That aside, I think it's super cool to see Disney yet again get shown it doesn't always know what's best when it comes to how long shows should be in production.

Wayne Brady won back-to-back Emmys as best talk show host (2002 and 2003), the second after Buena Vista Syndication (surprise, Disney) cancelled the show for lack of pickup by the know-it-all local stations. (Never made it on air in DC -- which stuns me. Talented African-American performer, predominately A-A city ... sounds like a no-brainer to me).

Not to mention the prime-time Emmy he won (also in 2003) for "Whose Line?" another show ABC couldn't find a home for (among other things).

I'd love to see CCR win here to put it to Disney and their dictatorial practices. But the Academy usually gives categories like this to lovey-dovey PBS which makes, to me, Winkler the favorite especially since John Ritter didn't get the win last year as Clifford. (Joe Alaskey as Duck Dodgers won)

KP should be honored. Outside of PBS and other preschool programming blocks' animation entires, it's one of only five animated shows (The Batman, Duck Dodgers, Lilo & Stitch, and Brandy & Mr. Whiskers are the others) to receive a nomination.

You know, since KP still has a bunch of episodes to air this year (and production was still going on 'til last week), technically it would be eligible to be nominated again next year.

Anyways... let's hope KP can win at least one award this time around.

Noted Steve and Thanks for the correct info (Must have gotten the wrong link for Soap.net..

but as for this I tend to agree they sure don't know how good this is.. after all when you think about the last 3 years KP's Been Nominated at least 9 times.. and has yet to win at least 1.. Let's hope Christy Romano gets at least the Actress Nod.. and maybe the Show could win "The Best Series award, but with PBS throwing out "Postcards from New Hampshire" this will be a real fight to see if Kim can land at least 1 award..

:coyote:

[One Radical Dude]

KP oughta win at least one (hopefully more). I hope that it does win.

[I.R Joey]

Just to remind everyone you shoud probably keep this discussion out of the "65 episode" debate. Mods might not like that.

Anyway, I'm glad that Kim's getting some recognition from the daytime emmy people. Even if it doesn't win I think it has little to be ashamed of. And I really am curious to see whether So the Drama keeps up the level of quality.

CHRISTY ROMANO, as KIM in KIM POSSIBLE (DIS)

With this list, I have to make a prediction. Romano has a uphill battle against some of the more experienced actors like Henry Winkler and the Out-of-Gas Mel Brooks. Although I would like to see Romano take this, her chances are about 25-35% to win. My prediction either Winkler or Cusack. Sorry, Christy.

Actually I.R. I think So The Drama might be the one that shows that maybe Kim Possible Should have been... and a Lot more.. and in fact the promo for the Movie shows this off quite well.. (After all So the Action, So the Comedy, So the Drama...)

You're probably right. But (to quote Ellen Degeneres) I will freak my deak if Christy wins. Heck, even if KP wins even ONE Emmy, I'll be happy.

[N310DA]

Glad to see KP getting the recognition it deserves. Hopefully KP will win at least one award, it absolutly should!

[tucsoncoyote]

Glad to see KP getting the recognition it deserves. Hopefully KP will win at least one award, it absolutly should! I hope so too N310DA and in fact if anything an Outstanding Children's Animated show award would be the icing on the cake.. of course if Miss Romano Won the Best Actor/Actress award or one of the lesser awards won, it might be the Cherry on top for this now "Outgoing " show.. if Kim Possible walks out with 2 awards, in any of the five nominations it will be well worth the 3 years of work this spunky cheerleader has put in..

:coyote:

[BigKPFan76]

I hope KP wins. She deserves it! :)

[kimpossible1fan]

I think KP really should win this year, I am though still amazed that I watch an emmy nominated show. The greatest thing? KP is nominated more than any other DC show this year, she's almost leading the emmys.

Fingers crossed,
Kp1fan

[RonDrakenfan17]

Yah let's hope Kim Possible does win than those jerks at the Disney department will be sorry. Seriously though lol I hope she wins, the show is a great show and deserves respect than what it gets, Will should have been nominated as well for best voice character actor along with Christy but oh well. Any who hope the show wins as well as Christy.

[Lonestarr]

...but I must be the voice of dissent. I'm glad to see the show getting recognized by major, award-giving organizations, but...well, I noticed something at the Daytime Emmys nomination page:

Outstanding Children's Animated Program
KIM POSSIBLE * DIS
BILL MOTZ, WRITER
BOB ROTH, WRITER

And the only episode they've done that was aired during the last year is...*gulp*..."Ron Millionaire". So what, you may be thinking? What's wrong with that episode?

What, indeed. (http://tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/EpisodeReviewPage/showid-8258/epid-262542/blockid-89407/)

Again, good to see the show get nominated, but I honestly can't say I'll be rooting for it to win. I mean, would you give Scorsese an Oscar for New York, New York as opposed to Raging Bull?

I mean, would you give Scorsese an Oscar for New York, New York as opposed to Raging Bull?Well Lonestarr thanks for cleearing that up, but when you think about some of the other shows that are out there running for the "Best Animated Children's show", would you want Arthur with the Episode Postcards From Connecticut to win? if that's the case, the PBS Deserves to show us that indeed there's a lot wrong here.. and that it proves one thing in general..

A lot of Mediocre Movies this year got nominated for Best Picture.. and a lot of "Mediocre Animated TV Shows" get nominated for "Best Children's Animated Series." Which Proves one thing.. People who watch these shows that are part of the Emmy Nomination process aren't willing to look at other shows..(within a given series..) and it shows.. After all I think when you compare this to the Incredibles winning "Best Animated Feature" at the Oscars this year.. you do have to wonder just what TV Nomination experts are really watching..(I wouldn't be surprised if for the Primetime Emmys Desperate Housewives gets just as many nominations..and that's just for starters..

:coyote:

[Freedom Fighter]

And the only episode they've (Bill Motz and Bob Roth) done that was aired during the last year is...*gulp*..."Ron Millionaire". So what, you may be thinking? What's wrong with that episode?I remember that episode. Yeah, let's not go there.

Hmmm... I was first thinking about bashing the Emmy judging panel for picking that episode. But then again, I seem to remember (and correct me anyone if I'm wrong) that the networks themselves decide which episodes of each eligible series are submitted for consideration to be nominated, so then the blame should squarely go to Disney Channel.

Then again, I don't wanted to be bashed out of here by the mods, so... let's go for a bland generalization.

Basically, I think the network executives for each network (and maybe in some cases, crew members of the eligible shows) get together, pick out what they THINK would give them the best chance to win an award. They send their entries to the Emmys, and once they have all of those in, their own judging panel looks at the possible nominees and picks what they THINK is worthy of being nominated... and, down the road, worthy of winning the award outright.

Notice the key word? I bold-printed it twice. THINK. No person on any of these committees would be willing to flip channels, record programs, or anything like that on a daily basis so that they can see every eligible episode of every eligible show. No one's that insane, and people have a life. When it comes down to it, it all comes down to personal opinion.

Let's take KP's writing nomination this year, for example. Yes, the writers for 'Ron Millionaire' got nominated... but I know there's a good number of KP fans, myself included, who thought the past year brought other, better-scripted episodes. Think of it this way... this might not have been the only KP episode considered for nomination (in any of the writing/producing/artist/etc... categories) that Disney Channel might have sent to the Emmy's board. But the Emmy board decided to pick out this one as a nominee because they thought it was one of the best (of the ones they had to choose from).

It's basically all up to the judging boards. But I'm pretty sure every single nomination in every category is subjected to the strictest criteria... if it's in there, the board thought it deserved to be nominated. Sure, there will always be fans who'll disagree... these are opinions, and opinions don't come without disagreements! So instead of worrying why we think KP got a bad or 'padded' nomination (depending on how you want to look at it), we should just cheer her, cast and crew, on at the show and hope they at least bring one Emmy home this year.

'Cause being Emmy-nominated in back-to-back years is one thing. Being known as an Emmy-winner, especially with only a handful of categories dedicated to TV animation... that would be something special! :D

[Schooley]

The Emmys are full of arcane and mysterious rules that we can barely figure out.

But I think can field this one:

According to the academy, writers who do a certain percentage of episodes during the eligibility year get named in the nomination. Bill and Bob wrote "A Sitch in Time," which counts as three episodes in addition to "Ron Millionaire," thus they were named in the nomination. The nomination is not based on any single episode, though one is chosen to be viewed by the judging panel. Also, the eligibility period includes both season two and season three episodes.

Hope this clears up the confusion.

Hope this clears up the confusion.Thanks again for clearing that up Schooley and I hope Kim does take home at least one Trophy.. if not two or three..(at least I'm being optimstic here)..at least Mr. Berry's Work on Music is perhaps the best modern music to come down the pike in a long time from Disney.(at least i love the BG Music for the shows.)

[sag_2002]

Looks like KP's got two awards under her belt tonight! She already won for Best Sound Mixing at last week's Technical Emmys, and I do believe I saw Christy walking off with the Best Voice Actor trophy! YAY!

[loyalheart]

christy didnt win. =/ , her and Kevin did get the biggest applause though.

What happens to the "best cartoon" nomination?

[sag_2002]

Darn. I saw someone that I thought kinda looked like her, but it must've been one of those people who walk the winners off stage after their acceptance speech.

I did hear that Christy would be presenting tonight.

I probably should've made a talkback for this, but seeing as the last time I did that in 2003, it bombed, I went against it.

[loyalheart]

she introduced the weekend awards clip along with that guy from 'Blues Clues'....

did we ever find out who won 'Best Animated Program' yet?

[Burgundy Ranger]

Here's what was announced last week:

Outstanding Children's Animated Program: Peep and the Big Wide World, TLC

Outstanding Special Class Animated Program: Rolie Polie Olie, DisChan

and, if you're interested,

Outstanding Pre-School Children's Series: Sesame Street, PBS

Outstanding Children's Series: Reading Rainbow, PBS

And here's a paragraph from the news wire about tonight's awards:

The voice of Elmo on "Sesame Street," Kevin Clash, was honored as best performer in a children's series; Oscar the Grouch accepted the award for him. Henry Winkler also wasn't on hand to pick up his first Emmy for his voiceover work on "Clifford's Puppy Days."

[Freedom Fighter]

Only one award out of five, huh? Bummer. Still, one's better than none. Even being nominated five times in one year alone is an honor... there are plenty of animated shows out there that run for several years and don't even get one nomination. The KP crew should still be proud, no matter what the result.

Say what you will about Elmo but it's remarkable that the same guy voices him AND Muppets like Hoots the Owl and Clifford.
