You guys already know that I’m doing a happy dance for “Dr. Horrible” and I’m hoping that these wins for “Pushing Daisies” is making ABC regret canceling such an unique and talented show. (Grrr… grumble, grumble!) Still, we can bemoan that these great shows weren’t nominated in more heavy categories as they deserve, but these wins show that scifi is slowly seeping into the Academy’s minds. Resistance will be futile!
