Congratulations to the cast and crew of Star Wars: The Clone Wars for the Emmy win for outstanding special class animated program at the 40th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.

The maker himself, George Lucas, accepted the award in person. This was his first Emmy win, and only his second award win.  Lucas was recently awarded the NAACP Image Awards 2012 for his WWII movie about the Tuskegee Airmen, Red Tails.  He had also been nominated twice previously for Ewoks and The All New Ewoks.
