Last Monday (26 April), I had the honor of attending the 31st Annual Sports Emmy Awards in New York City for the first time since I started working at ESPN two years ago. I was nominated for two Emmys along with the graphics team for the SportsNation show. As the phrase goes, it was an honor just to be nominated.
The awards were held in the Frederick P. Rose Theater. Our pre- and post-show receptions were held in the Time Warner Center overlooking Columbus Circle and Central Park:
The reception room:
For the category “Outstanding Graphic Design,” MLB Tonight won. But so did SportsNation (and the post-announcement video clip featured “Walk the Plank,” one of my touchscreen games!):
So now I’m an Emmy winner!
A terrific honor, for sure, and I’m proud to share the award with the rest of the SportsNation graphics team. I work with some very talented people.
Post-show reception over, waiting for the buses to return us to ESPN:
Congratulations to the entire SportsNation graphics team on the Emmy win! And congratulations to all the other winners!
