Variety reports that "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" took home the Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography for a Scripted Program at this year's early juried Emmy Awards.
Other winners included Adult Swim's "Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal," and FX's "Archer."
According to Variety, "Juried categories DON'T include nominations, but instead all entrants are screened by a panel of professionals in the appropriate peer group. Winners are determined by a one-step evaluation - which include an open-discussion deliveration of each entrant's work - followed by a "'thorough review of the merits of awarding the Emmy.'"
The Emmy for "Zoey's" went to choreographer Mandy Moore.
The series centers on Zoey Clarke, a whip-smart computer coder forging her way in San Francisco. After an unusual event, Zoey, who always preferred podcasts over Pop songs, suddenly starts to hear the innermost wants, thoughts and desires of the people around her - her family, co-workers and complete strangers - through popular songs. At first, she questions her own sanity, but after getting some guidance from her musically adept neighbor, Mo, and making a breakthrough with her ailing father, Zoey soon realizes this unwanted curse may just be an incredibly wonderful gift as she connects with the world like never before.
