30 years have passed since The Simpsons entered our lives and it doesn’t seem the yellow family is showing signs of slowing down. Now the long-running animated show adds another prize to its list by winning the Outstanding Animated Program award at the Creative Arts Emmys for the episode Mad About the Toy.
This is the 11th time the show wins this award. Thus it has widened the gap between itself from Southpark, which has won this award 5 times over the years.
The other contestants in the category were Bojack Horseman with the episode “Free Churro,” Big Mouth, Bob’s Burgers and Come Along With Me. Bojack Horseman, in particular, was considered a likely win with the episode in which Bojack delivers a bizarre eulogy throughout it. This would have been a first win for the Netflix show in that category.
The writer of the winning episode, Michael Price, joked that the show used to be outrageous but has now been around so long it’s no longer shocking. “I think we’re just happy to be where we are,” he said.
