Emmy Spotlight: Legend of the Seeker, Battlestar Galactica Win Creative Arts Emmys

The Emmys are coming! The Emmys are coming! This week the Nice Girls will preview some of the contenders for Emmys in a variety of categories, focusing on our faves.

When Legend of the Seeker debuted in syndication last season, I’m sure the cast and crew would not have expected to be nominated for an Emmy, but that was exactly what happened. The show received a nomination in the category of Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score) for Joe LoDuca’s beautifully melodic music that is featured in this new show based on the books by author Terry Goodkind.  On Saturday, September 12 the Creative Emmys were handed out and against musical competition like 24, Castle, Ghost Whisperer, The Simpsons and The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, the little “syndicated show that could” – Legend of the Seeker – won its first Emmy.  Congratulations to Mr. LoDuca and to the cast and crew of the show.

As most TV viewers know, Battlestar Galactica just completed its four year run as one of the most innovative series on television, garnering a Peabody Award, countless positive reviews by critics and fans alike and has been nominated for at least several awards over that time.  This year is no different as BSG received 6 Emmy nominations. As mentioned before, the Creative Emmys were given out on Saturday, September 12 with BSG winning one of the six nominations for which it received; that of Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series.
