- An animated short based around the audio from a 14-year-old’s 1969 interview with John Lennon snagged an Emmy at the 36th annual Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony on Saturday (August 29th) in L.A. Examiner.com reported that I Met The Walrus — “(a) five-minute, 10-second film, won in the category ‘New Approaches — Daytime Entertainment,’ which honors films from the Internet and otherwise outside the sphere of television.” I Met The Walrus was nominated from You Tube and beat out ABC’s All My Children video podcast, among other entires.
