This being BrilliantButCancelled.com, we thought you’d be interested in who won the Emmy for “Cinematography for Nonfiction Programming -- Multi-Camera Production.” To those who follow this sort of thing (all of us TV geeks), the winner was clear:“The Amazing Race: Here Comes the Bedouin!”

And what about the Emmy for “Technical Direction and Camerawork, Video, for a Series”? That honor went to “Dancing with the Stars, Episode 204.”

And in a stiffer competition than usual, this year's Emmy for choreography went to “High School Musical.”

The bulk of the awards went to HBO, for miniseries such as “Elizabeth I” and “Rome.”
