My good friend and mentor Art (one of my instructors at Otis College who worked on the original Tron) informed me that the two hour backdoor pilot of Knight Rider is nominated for an award by the VES (Visual Effects Society) for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Broadcast Miniseries, Movie, or Special.
Here are the other contenders:

Just thought I would share that with the fandom out there, since this is news you're not likely to find broadcasted in the trades or on television.
The 7th annual VES Awards Ceremony takes place February 21, 2009 at Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel
in Los Angeles, CA
I designed a poster for a VES event a while back when I was in college and you can see it below.
