VENICE, CA, April 3, 2009 – "Bad Day," an NFL Fantasy Football spot directed by Wayne Holloway of RESTLESS and created via agency Mering Carson, has been honored with an EMMY nomination as Outstanding Sports Promotional Announcement – Institutional, in the 61st Annual Primetime EMMY Awards.
Also known as "Fantasy Football Blues 2008," the commercial features comic vignettes conveying the misery of fans who had a losing season in Fantasy Football. The bright side to their plight? NFL.com’s Fantasy Playoff challenge, a free contest in which they could win a trip to Super Bowl XLIV.
Holloway was out in the California desert shooting a Snickers spot via BBDO/Moscow, and could not be reached for comment, but one presumes he is pleased. And thirsty.
RESTLESS partners: Sabertooth, Film Realitè
Is the game on live in the US this weekend, does anyone know?
