Mobile content to get Emmy category

This news out of the New York Times totally sounds like something from the Onion, but it’s apparently legit.

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is expected to announce tomorrow that it has “created an award category to recognize original video content for computers, cell phones and other hand-held devices, like the video iPod and PlayStation Portable.”

The academy is not the one that presents the prime-time Emmy awards but, rather, the “Daytime Emmys,” aka “The Oprahs.”

The awards would debut next year at the Sports Emmys ceremony, held at an Elks Lodge near you.

But who would be in the running for such honors? The Times has a rundown.
