Blaise Koller, Bazz McClain and I received our first Rocky Mountain Emmy awards last Saturday for "Flight Path: The Flyway Project," our documentary detailing the process from creation to completion of artist Robert Wilson's controversial (at least to a certain westside City Councilor) jetty jack sculpture near the Open Space division headquarters on Coors Boulevard.
The honor was bestowed during ceremonies at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ., which unfortunately, none of us could attend.
We won in the category of Politics/Government-Program Feature/Segment or Program/Special, which may not be the most prestigious, but it's definitely one of the longest categories.
Anyway, I never thought I'd get excited about a trophy, but damn, it's heavy and shiny, just like the real Emmys. By the way, the Rocky Mountain Emmys are a division of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the folks that give out the nationally televised awards each year.
