As usual, the show got nominated in the Animated Program (Less Than
One Hour) category; the episode submitted for the final judging is
"The Seemingly Never-Ending Story". Its competition:
Family Guy (PTV)
Camp Lazlo (Hello Dolly / Over Cooked Beans)
Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (Go Goo Go)
South Park (Trapped in the Closet)
However, this was the only nomination the show received; none of the
songs from any shows this season made the cut, and Alf Clausen didn't
get any other music category nods either. (For that matter, neither
he nor Danny Elfman got nominations for any show.)
Under a rule created a few years ago, the show is limited to 14
producers, 3 writers, and 4 directors who would actually receive Emmys
should the show win. Because of this, the following people (I think
all of them would have been eligible, although I am not sure about the
last three) were left off the list:
Executive Producer Sam Simon
Co-Executive Producer Marc Wilmore
Supervising Producer Larina Jean Adamson
Producer Dan Greaney
Producer Matt Warburton
Producer Ron Hague
Producer Tom Gammill
Producer Max Pross
Producer David Mirkin
Producer Mike Reiss
Co-Producer Jeff Westbrook
Produced by Richard Raynis
Produced by Bonita Pietila
Produced by Denise Sirkot
Produced by Richard Sakai
Animation Executive Producer John Hyde
Animation Executive Producer Mike Wolf
Post Production Co-Producer Dominique Braud
Animation Co-Producer Richard K. Chung
Associate Producer Felicia Nalivansky-Caplan
Associate Producer Alexander Duke
Story Editor Daniel Chun
Additional Timer Ray Claffey
Additional Timer Douglas Gallery
(The two nominees in the hour-or-longer animation category are
Discovery Channel's "Before the Dinosaurs" and Nickelodeon's "My Life
as a Teenage Robot" (for the hour-long "Escape from Cluster Prime").)
There are two other categories in which The Simpsons can win;
individual achievement in animation (that is, something that a
particular animator does that stands out), and voiceover performance.
There are no nominations in these categories; instead, each entrant is
pretty much given a yes-or-no vote on its own, so it is possible that
there can be multiple, or even no, winners.
The animation awards are given out as part of the "Creative Arts"
(read: "not enough people care to make them part of the main show")
Emmy ceremony, on August 19; a heavily edited version of the show will
air on E! a week later.
(Say, Nancy Cartwright is a Scientologist, isn't she? I wonder what
would happen if she were to win a voiceover Emmy - she hasn't won one
in over 10 years - and then South Park wins the animation Emmy for its
Scientology episode?)

This is only the second time in the show's history that this has
happened. (The first was in 2000.)

it would intensify the Cartoon Wars, if family guy should win the
animation award this year.
