'Galactica' producer expects Emmy snub
Battlestar Galactica's supervising producer David Weddle believes the show will miss out on Emmy Award nominations because of its genre.

"Well, we're in the sci-fi ghetto still," Weddle told SyFy Portal. "We're still a science-fiction series, and the vast majority of voters don't understand the show or haven't even seen the show. But I would love to be surprised."

However, Battlestar Galactica's home on the Sci-Fi Channel does have its advantages, according to Weddle.

"Because our profile is so low, we've been able to tell the kinds of stories we've been able to tell," he said.

"We're off the radar because we're just a sci-fi show and we've told some pretty amazing stories because we're just a sci-fi show. We're not on the radar of the networks or the censors. To me, that's a positive way to look at it."
