So he wasn't elected president. Big deal. How many other presidential candidates have an Emmy and an Oscar sitting on the shelf at home?
Former Vice President Al Gore took home an Emmy Sunday night for creative achievement in interactive television for Current TV, his youth-oriented television channel.
"We are trying to open up the television medium so that viewers can help them make television and join the conversation of democracy and reclaim American democracy by talking about the choices we have to make," Gore said as he accepted the award.
Current TV reaches about 40 million homes in the United States.
Earlier this year, Gore received an Oscar for his global-warming documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."
