Just came across this video on C-SPAN's website of last September 27th ceremony of the News and Documentary Emys. It was a wild ride for the Studio Macbeth team, and (some of) our faces show it!
Ray Downing was awarded an Emmy for "Outstanding Individual Achievement in a Craft: Graphic Design and Art Direction" for the creation of the Virtual Abraham Lincoln.
If you don't want to watch the whole video (it's over 2 hours long), just scrub to 1:34:40 to see Dan Rather struggling to open the envelope and finally name the winner as we were all holding our breath. And then watch how we made him wait - sorry, Mr. Rather, but we were seated in the balcony and it took a while for us to get down to the stage.
What a great night it was!
