Fallout: Vault 33 just won an Emmy, but what is it?

I don’t want any of you sarcastically commenting “the show, duh.”

While it might not be the awards you were expecting, the Fallout show has in fact won a couple of Emmys.

Not that many people had doubts, but the Fallout show is now Officially Good, at least if winning an award from a long-running awards body is the thing that determines such a thing. It was the 76th annual Emmys last night, where a whole bunch of awards were given out to, mostly, Shogun (it took home 14 all in all, a record breaking total). But the incredibly popular Shogun wasn’t the only show to win awards, it couldn’t win them all after all, and everyone’s favourite video game adaptation this year ( it was never going to be you, Borderlands movie ), took home two of them!

The first is one you probably won’t even be aware of as a category, which is Outstanding Music Supervision , an award that goes to the very specific role of music supervisor, who is someone that picks out any licensed music a show uses. Had no idea such a role existed but hey, there were some great picks in the Fallout show, so kudos! The other award was in the Outstanding Emerging Media Program category for Fallout: Vault 33 specifically, which is an award given to shows that further enhances the show with behind-the-scenes looks, story and character extensions, engaging its audience in interesting ways - essentially all the extra stuff that just winds up online these days (RIP DVD extras).
