Sarah Silverman, who infamously declared her "relationship" with Matt Damon via a delightfully dirty little ditty, is now being recognized by the TV Academy. Her song, "I'm F**cking Matt Damon," has been nominated for an Emmy. Her very funny television show, The Sarah Silverman Program, however, got snubbed.
But it looks like the joke in on Silverman: The nomination is listed under Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which is where the song first debuted as part of a prank Silverman played on longtime boyfriend Kimmel. The couple publicly split earlier this week. Awkward!
The song is nominated in the category of outstanding original music and lyrics, where it will compete aginst two songs from HBO's Flight of the Conchords, a song from Disney Channel's Disney Phineas and Ferb, and a song from Fox's MADtv.
At least, if she wins, Silverman will have a little gold friend to keep her company. Or she could call Ben Affleck.
