The YES WE CAN SONG video was honored with an Emmy in the first-time ever “New Approaches in Daytime Entertainment” category that recognizes innovative production techniques and the use of media enhancement to support content. The award was handed out at the 35th Annual Creative Arts & Entertainment Daytime Emmy® Awards ceremony in New York City.

Originally posted at Dipdive.com on February 2, 2008 right before Super Tuesday, the video has become a viral phenomenon on the Internet through YouTube, MySpace, and other video sharing sites.

Earlier in the week at the Webby Awards, where will.i.am was recognized as the Artist of the Year and acceptance speeches were limited to five words, he proclaimed, “Now we know we can.”
