Neil has won his first Emmy Award – Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog took home the award for Outstanding Special Class – Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Programs at last night’s Creative Arts Emmys, beating off stiff competition from Bruce Springsteen, Jon Stewart, 30 Rock’s Kenneth the Page, and Battlestar Galactica. Neil was there to pick up the award along with Felicia Day, Nathan Fillion, Simon Helberg, Maurissa Tancharoen and all three Whedon brothers, and you can see some pictures from last night in our gallery. And there’s a photo of Neil and Nathan posted on Twitter by Maurissa, here.
