GARNER -- When Scotty McCreery brought home the "American Idol" crown, he also brought a great deal of pride and attention to Garner. Now, his hometown could play a role in giving something back to the Fox show that made their favorite son a star: an Emmy.
The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced Wednesday that Scotty's "Idol" homecoming trip to Garner has earned the show an Emmy nomination. It's in the Outstanding Short-Form Picture Editing category for "Scotty's Home Story" - the short video clip of Scotty's May trip to Garner, including visits to Garner High School, the Lowes Foods where he worked, radio station WQDR and Lake Benson Park, where a parade and concert were held.
