Dekortage writes "The New York Times discusses the new Emmy category 'for outstanding original programming for computers, cellphones and other hand-held devices, including the video iPod.' The nominees include 24: Conspiracy, Sophie Chase, and It's JerryTime!." From the article: "... lesser-known video creators are getting recognition as well. These include 'Sophie Chase,' an online series based on an attractive detective; 'Stranger Adventures,' a weekly interactive game where participants get e-mail messages and watch live-action video to help solve a puzzle; and 'It's JerryTime!,' created by two brothers from Massachusetts, Orrin and Jerry Zucker."

That's the NY Times for you. They (as part of the mainstream media) don't understand that other media players exist than the iPod.

And that chick in Sophie Chase wasn't very hot.
Apparently she's Angelina Jolie's body double. And for the "OMTWTFG THEIR ARE OTHER MEDIA PLAYERS BESIDES TEH IPOD!!!!" crowd, her website refers to the award as the "New Media Emmy Award". And who are you to doubt Angelina Jolie's body double?
