Star Wars Uncut Wins an Emmy

[Vartok]

Didn't find this here when I searched, sorry if a repeat!  From the NY Times television blog...

"Hundreds of Internet users remade "Star Wars: A New Hope" into a fan film last year, 15 seconds at a time. This month they all played a part in Emmy history.  The finished product, "Star Wars Uncut," won an Emmy last week in a relatively new category, interactive media, heaping new attention onto a project that its producers call a "user-directed broadcast."

The award is all the more remarkable because, in a world in which television heavyweights like HBO and NBC mount big-budget campaigns to win Emmys, "Star Wars Uncut" is just a hobby for its creator, Casey Pugh, a 26-year-old Web developer who lives in Brooklyn."
