Pushing Daisies is Resurrected for Emmy Awards

The now-buried "Pushing Daisies" received a brief 60 seconds touch of life on Sunday at the Emmy awards. The Bryan Fuller series, now cancelled, won four Emmys this season, including one to Kristin Chenoweth for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Chenoweth was in between laughing and crying during her acceptance speech Sunday night. She thanked "the academy for recognizing a show that's no longer on the air," said Chenoweth, while also adding, "I'm unemployed now, so I'd like to be on 'Mad Men.'"

The show also received three other awards at the Creative Arts Emmys in Outstanding Art Direction for a Single Camera Series, Outstanding Costumes for a Series and Outstanding Makeup for a Single-Camera Series (Non-Prosthetic). It placed fourth on the shows in terms of Emmy's won, tying with "American Idol."

The irony of the situation was not lost to Fuller as he said, "It's a tremendous honor to see 'Daisies' win in so many categories -- and in the spirit of the show, win posthumously," he said. "Now can we please make the 'Pushing Daisies' movie?"

Or perhaps even a full resurrection of the series? A reality show can die in its place.
