It said that Destination Imagination won, which was a movie that concluded the series. So the series ended with that movie, and it happened to win.

I don't think it was canceled so much as it reached that length where Cartoon Network shows are forced to end, regardless of how popular or not popular they are.

Well, I'm just glad an anime was nominated, and then an anime-related production role actually won an Emmy. First time ever. Little victories, people, little victories!

I haven't watched Afro Samurai, but I thought Foster's was a fun show, especially the movie that was nominated for this award.

I've watched Afro Samurai: Resurrection. I'm glad it lost. It is so stupid and moronic that if it went up against Pokemon - yes, that Pokemon - I would root for the latter. Even the fight scenes were boring. In an action movie that is unforgivable, especially since that was all the franchise had going for it anyway besides "Snakes on a Plane" Samuel L. Jackson.

Yeah...lets all wait on the outrage for something that actually deserves an award.

Did...did you just imply that Samuel L BMF'in Jackson is only noted for Snakes on a plane?

I think you just implied that. How DARE you.

To keep on topic, Yeah, Resurrection did kinda poo all over the first one, and Fosters was the far superior movie.

I liked Fosters Home, so I'm happy it won over a anime that wasn't even that great.

I adore Fosters and am glad it won. Great show. Can't say I'm a particular fan of Afro Samurai.
