Step one: write a hilarious mock up of a Color Me Badd style sex romp slow jam. Step two: get nominated for an Emmy. Step three: win the damn thing? That could be the case for Justin Timberlake, Andy Samberg, and their Saturday Night Live collaborators behind the digital short "Dick in a Box." Today the song garnered an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. (And who even knew there was such an Emmy category? Thought that was only Oscar material.) If I was a betting man, I'd put my money on the tune winning, as its competition comes from much lesser known songs from Scrubs, MADtv, and Family Guy.
Oh, and speaking of boxes, the big one above contains the uncensored version of the digital short, in case you've been living in a cave for the past year and have never seen it.
