Already a two time Emmy winner, PUSHING DAISIES can add another statue to the counter at The Pie Hole. Tonight PUSHING DAISIES took home the Emmy for Outstanding Direction of a Comedy Series - Barry Sonnenfeld, “Pie-lette”

Barry had this to say when he took to the stage…

I have written something down
because I’ve been known to speak scatologically.

(Laughter.)

Surround yourself with people who are smarter than
you, and you’ll make a great show and get all the
credit. I’d like to thank producers Dan Jinks and
Bruce Cohen, who sent me the brilliantly written
script by Bryan Fuller, Peter Roth and Steve
McPherson, who championed our show. We had a
fantastic crew and a wonderfully talented cast.
I’d also like to thank my daughter Chloe and my
beautiful wife. Sweetie, it is shocking that
Sweetie has married the neurotic man that stands
before you. And all that I am or ever hope to be,
I owe to her. Love TV and fear the Internet.
Thank you.

(Applause.)

PUSHING DAISIES was already awarded the Emmy for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series and Outstanding Picture Editing for a Comedy Series.

PUSHING DAISIES was nominated for 12 Emmy awards after only a 9-episode first season. Congratulations to the cast, crew and everyone involved in making PUSHING DAISIES such a wonderful TV experience.

PUSHING DAISIES was well represented by star Lee Pace at the Creative Arts Emmys which took place this past weekend. Check out these swanky pics of Lee on the red carpet and on stage as a presenter.

Time to rejoice kids… According to the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, PUSHING DAISIES is a semi-finalist nominee!

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Wire,” “Friday Night Lights” and “Pushing Daisies” are among the semifinalists for this year’s Emmy nominations.

Ten drama series and 10 comedies emerged as the top vote-getters in balloting by members of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the academy said Thursday.

The final five nominees in each category will be determined after blue-ribbon panels screen submitted episodes this weekend, with the results to be announced July 17. The awards will be held in September.

Now don’t get too excited, as mentioned there is still another panel for Bryan Fuller’s masterpiece to wow but I’m feeling pretty confident. Congrats to Fuller, the writers, cast and crew for making it one step closer to that glorious statuette.

The Hollywood Reporter (THR.com) posted a new video in their Emmy Watch series and this one features Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller!

While the TCA nominations are the real reason to celebrate tonight, this honor just rolled in as well.  PUSHING DAISIES is America’s Favorite New Show according to a recent AOL poll.

From Reuters:

After a U.S. prime-time television season notable for its lack of breakout hits, the supernatural fantasy “Pushing Daisies” emerged as the favorite new show of viewers in an AOL poll released on Tuesday.

The ABC series about a pie-maker possessing the power to bring the dead back to life with a single touch — and to dispatch them again with a second touch– ranked as the best new TV show among 24 percent of survey respondents.

Congratulations to PUSHING DAISIES for it’s nomination as ‘Outstanding New Program’ by the Television Critics Association (TCA). The TCA Awards are voted on by some of the top TV critics across the country.

The awards will be handed out on July 19th.
