“The Simpsons” added to their long-standing record for most wins in the Best Animated Program category when they picked up their 11th trophy at Saturday night’s Creative Arts ceremony for the episode “Mad About the Toy.” The victory was a shocker since the show was ranked last in our predictions center with 9/2 odds of winning.
