While the "main" Emmy Awards nominations are months out for a ceremony that will not occur until after the summer, the daytime ones follow a different schedule. While the show will no longer be televised (due to cost being too high compared to the low ratings it gets), the nominations were announced this week and Transformers: Robots in Disguise and Transformers: Rescue bots each received nominations in three categories total. The winners will be announced on April 29th. For those not aware, the Emmy's are TV's version of the Oscars in the United States so those in the television business do covet the nominations and hoped for wins. The full list of nominations are here.
Update: The winners were announced on May 1st and Transformers: Rescue Bots Feff Bennett won for best performance in an animated program. Complete list of winners here.
