More photos! Cristina's Court's Emmy night

Cristina Perez moments aftr her winning her second Emmy

So is anyone still talking about the Daytime Emmy Awards? In the case of the Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program, the answer is resoundingly "Yes." The second win in a row by Cristina's Court not only is giving new attention to judge Cristina Perez and the show's production team--but has a lots of execs pointing fingers for canceling the show midway through its second championship season!

Senior supervising producer Lisa Brennan and executive producer Peter Brennan

Our favorite story is the one about the Fox exec who uttered these immortal words when he got the news: "Oh, sh#$!!"

Cristina with fellow two-time Emmy winner Dean Manibog, who produced and did most of the field camera work for the award-winning episode.

We've got more exclusive photos. Why stop the party now?

Mike Darnell is the new Sheila Nevins


By the way, Fox's Octomom special was chilling, frightening, unflinching, compelling, eminently watchable television. Crafted in true verite form without narration, editorializing, bells or whistles, it was a chancy two hours of prime time that allowed viewers to judge for themselves while demonstrating clearly there were no network newsmagazine-style deals in place to make Nadya Suleman "look good." And she didn't. Neither did the TMZ-infected "paparazzi" with their cellphone cameras nor the unseen doctor who allowed it all to happen in the first place. The only ones who looked good were the producers-- including Tabloid Baby pal Doug Bruckner-- and Fox reality chief Mike Darnell. Had Octomom: The Incredible Unseen Footage run on HBO, it would surely be up for an Emmy. Had HBO given it a theatrical run, it would be nominated for an Oscar®.

Octomom special shows the kids being born


If you're going to watch the Octomom special on Fox tonight, stick around til the very end.

We've learned exclusively that the two-hour Octomom: The Incredible Unseen Footage special about Nadya Suleman, her octuplets and six other kids closes some really incredible footage: more than four minutes of video showing the octuplets' birth.

The footage is shot inside the delivery room by one of Nadya's friends. Nurses hassle her and try to cover her lens but she gets the video of the babies coming out.

We told you a couple of weeks back that the special features the birth tape. For some reason, Fox has not been giving a lot of publicity to that very teaseable part of the program.
