5 TV Spots Earn Emmy Nominations
In addition to its usual
glitzy TV effort, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences nominated five TV commercials for an Emmy. It's the 15th time it has done so. The awards will be presented in September.
Included in the mix is the high-profile and controversial "It's Halftime In America" spot for Chrysler featuring Clint Eastwood. This comes from Wieden + Kennedy. The commercial gained
notoriety airing in the Super Bowl earlier this year. It is one of three spots nominated for W&K.
Deutsch LA got two nominations, both for its critically acclaimed Volkswagen
campaign. "The Dog Strikes Back," focuses on an out-of-shape dog looking to up his fitness level, chasing a Volkswagen.
Another, "The Bark Side," features a chorus of dogs barking out
the theme from "Stars Wars," which tips its hat with another Deutsch commercial, a Super Bowl spot featuring a "Stars Wars"-minded kid who is looking to work some magic on a VW.
Two other
Wieden + Kennedy commercials made the cut as well. One is called "Best Job" for Procter & Gamble corporate branding, which shows tireless efforts/support from mothers all over the world getting
their sons/daughters ready and trained for Olympic-like contests.
Another called "Color Changes Everything," for Target's Spring Apparel, Home and Beauty, shows a fantasy of multicolored
appareled gymnasts in gymnastic mode magically changing color/style of average people in different real-life settings.
