Destination Imagination already has an Emmy... she has long red hair, a spiky ponytail, and wears a green hoodie over a Mojo Jojo shirt

Seriously though, DI is worthy of an Emmy award or more.

Even though I have yet to see it, I hope "DI" does get the win. From what I've heard on here, it's a fantastic episode.

This is fantastic!

I really hope Destination Imagination wins the Annie Awards. It truly deserves it.

Unfortunately, Avatar: The Last Airbender beat out Destination: Imagination for Best Children's Animated Television Production as well as the other category they were up for, Best Direction in an Animated Television Program or Short Form.

All Annies won by Cartoon Network were for Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II. All nominees and winners can be seen here.

A major disappointment to be sure, but there is more to life then award statuettes and the most important thing is that DI made a lot of people very very happy and in the big picture isn't that what matters the most?

[Slightly off topic]Geez what's with all the Kung Fu Panda love? That film took like every other award. Between that and the wins for Avatar, the conspiracy theorist in me is led to believe that Paramount may have greased the judges wheels a little...if you know what I mean? Of course the realist in me believes that is far from the truth, but stranger things have happened.

I read the news earlier this afternoon, and I am too sad to see the outcome. Ditto on what T said. It's just a statuette. And I believe D:I made more people happy than Avatar has. It's the judges who for some reason thought Avatar deserved the award better, probably because they were looking for certain qualities that Foster's doesn't have, and possibly was never even meant to have. No one should hold that against Foster's. We of course don't.

I'm feeling quite ashamed right now.

Before I saw Destination Imagination, I was really rooting for Avatar to win, but since seeing DI, I really didn't want to put you guys down if I said that Avatar would win, but now that it won...

I really don't know what to say. I hope you guys forgive me for this. I never thought that DI would lose to Avatar. It's just that I am a Foster's fan, no doubt about that, but I'm also an Avatar fan, so I just really don't know whether to feel happy... or feel like a retard for going for Avatar and not Foster's.

I hope you'll forgive me!

Er...I do. It's not like Foster's is even my favorite show of all time, and I run this place.
