Look at how many non-mainstream-genre things were nominated this year! Not many of them won, but look how many there even were on the list! That's got to be a first for geeky-type shows, right? It's much-needed attention for these shows, and it's welcome! If the flap of good scifi and fantasy shows continue, though, I wonder if they'll get their own category so they're competing against their actual peers and not just everything that came out?
