Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog Takes Home the Emmy!
New Video sends along the good word that Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog took home an Emmy!
The blockbuster internet phenomenon took home an Emmy this past Saturday at the Creative Arts Primetime Emmy Awards held at the NOKIA Theatre in L.A. “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” won for “Outstanding Special Class- Short Format Live-Action Entertainment Program”. From beloved creator Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dollhouse) and starring Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle), and Felicia Day (The Guild)—along with Simon Helberg (The Big Bang Theory) as Moist—this game-changing sensation is available on DVD from NEWVIDEO NYC.
Born during the Writers’ Strike in 2008 as a free streaming internet miniseries, DR. HORRIBLE’S SING-ALONG BLOG became an instant success, premiering on iTunes as the #1 downloaded TV season for 3 weeks running, and currently still residing in the Top 10 of all TV shows. The soundtrack of such hit songs from the film as “My Freeze Ray” and “My Eyes” debuted at #1 in soundtracks on iTunes and made the Top 40 Album list on release. High schools have performed the piece as their spring musical and fans have created their own action figures.
