Raunchy satire and foul-mouthed humor cashed in big at the 2008 Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
The ceremony, which serves as a prelude to the higher-profile Primetime Emmys on September 21, delivered an award for outstanding music to comedienne Sarah Silverman for her parody, "I'm F*ckingMatt Damon" (pictured). Silverman's short quickly became an internet sensation after debuting on then-boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show as a gag.
While accepting the award on-stage, Silverman cheekily paid tribute to Kimmel, whom she parted ways with in July: "The person for who this video was made, Jimmy Kimmel, who broke my heart, oops ... who... will always have a place in my heart."
South Park's twisted trilogy Imaginationland won a prestigious award for best animated program longer than an hour -- beating out Family Guy's Star Warsspoof "Blue Harvest."
Other honorees included: *The Simpsons, which was named the best half-hour animated show for the 10th time running; AMC's *1960's advertising agency drama Mad Men and NBC.com's interactive websites for sci-fi show Heroes.
