CNN is reporting that Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone (collectively known as The Lonely Island) have won a Creative Arts Emmy for their SNL Digital Short Dick in a Box. Upon receiving the award, Samberg said, "I think it's safe to say that when we first set out to make this song, we were all thinking 'Emmy!' The other thing we were thinking was, 'Hey! Here's this young up-and-comer, Justin Timberlake, who is clearly very talented and could clearly use a break,' So, Justin, if you're out there, congrats to you, kid."
The Creative Arts Emmys, which recognize technical and other achievements for the 2006-07 season, will air September 15 on E!, the night before the Primetime Emmy Awards on Fox.
