Sarah Silverman's song up for Emmy

On Thursday Sarah Silverman, 37, was one of those lucky enough to be nominated for an Emmy, PEOPLE informs.

The TV Academy nod is linked to what she did on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, an over-the-top music video in which she and the Sexiest Man Alive flaunted their affair to Kimmel, all set to music in a ditty titled, "I'm F------ Matt Damon".

Silverman is up for the gold in the category of outstanding original music and lyrics, along with her fellow writer-composers on the ditty Tony Baubirei, Wayne McClaucey, Sal Lacono, and Dan Warner.

Their competition for the statuette are those who wrote the song "I Ain't Got No Rhythm" for the Disney Channel's Disney Phineas And Ferb; "The Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room)" and "Inner City Pressure," both from HBO's Flight of the Conchords; and "Sad Fitty Cent," from FOX's MADtv.

The Emmys will be handed out Sept. 21.

He really became a star as the frenetic title ghoul in Tim Burton's dark comedy Beetlejuice (1988). The next year he played Batman in Burton's big-budget movie Batman; it was considered casting against type, but Keaton worked well enough ...
