With a dash of charity and some posthumous help
from Elvis Presley, smash hit "American Idol"
clinched its first Emmy in six years on Saturday
to avoid becoming the biggest loser in the
history of U.S. television's highest honours.
The amateur singing contest that ranks as
America's most watched TV series won its prize
for outstanding technical direction for a $76
million benefit special in which producers
created the illusion of Elvis performing a duet
with Celine Dion.
