complained about sci-fi seems to be restricted to the ghetto of visual effects when Emmy nominations come around. But this year, sci-fi and fantasy shows are literally all over the Emmy awards, from acting and writing to sound and editing to, yes, special effects.
The darling this year is
Pushing Daisies, with tons of nominations including lead actor (Lee Pace) and supporting actress (Kristin Chenoweth), as well as writing and a slew of creative and technical nods.

Well, it’s a LITTLE bit inaccurate to “practically all” of the past and present Companions appear in “The Stolen Earth”/”Journey’s End.” Just off the top of my head, we don’t get to see Harry Sullivan, Jamie McCrimmon, Vicki, Jo Grant, Liz Shaw, Turlough, Tegan, Nyssa, Romana, Leela, Dodo, Victoria, Polly, Ben, Ian, Barbara, Zoe, or Peri. And I’m pretty sure I missed more than a few. Certainly, there are “all” of the present companions (not counting the short-lived Adam), plus Sarah Jane, but that’s it.
Yes, I was talking about companions from the new series, and “practically” was the exemption for Adam. (Some people count Lynda as well, which is interesting — she performs “companion-like” duties.)
