Drive got an Emmy nom for visual effects (in the category Miniseries, Movie, or Special). Ookay.

Too funny!

What Laura said. Sheesh.
Hah!
(But I can't help but hope it wins.)
Firefly got nominated for the same thing in 2002, and won. Same company, too.
That's terribly amusing. It'll probably win, too.

Well, those were pretty awesome effects.
I'm surprised they used 'The Starting Line' to submit -- I thought it was fairly weak VFX wise. There's a chase in the second or third episode where the camera flies through cars with glorious abandon which I remember being particularly cool.
It feels like they traditionally submit pilots for some reason. Which is really odd, because those are rarely the best episode. But I guess they're the best episodes to view out of context, since the voters haven't necessarily seen the series at all.
