Oustsanding Main Title Design
I don’t care if you likeHalo 4, or any game in the series for that matter.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawnis far and away the best example of how to adapt a videogame franchise to a live-action setting. I watched it expecting little more than an hour and a half of marketing hype, and was treated to a well produced live-action videogame adaptation instead.
The Academy of Television Art & Sciences seems to recognize this in some capacity, nominatingForward Unto Dawnfor an Emmy in Outstanding Main Title Design. Cynics may point out the relatively low esteem of the category, but it’sa freakin’ Emmyfor a one-off web series, and is going up against HBO’sNewsroom, FX’sAmerican Horror Story: Asylum, Starz’Da Vinci Demons, CBS’Elementary, and History Channel’sVikings.

Congrats to the folks at Machinima and 343.
