His previous Emmy nominations were as supervising producer of Billy Crystal: 700 Sundays, Ricky Gervais: Out of England and Bill Maher: The Decider, all for HBO. Fujita O'Brien makes sure the metaphorical gears turn smoothly. She ensures the accuracy of everything from the timing of show segments and presenters' instructions to arranging for operational essentials before the team even realizes they're needed. "There are always new challenges, but the important things are always there," she says. Fujita O'Brien has produced many television specials, including several Miss America pageants, CBS: 50 Years from Television City, Motown 45 and Special Olympics Opening Ceremonies for ABC as well as A Gala for the President at Ford's Theater and The First Family's Holiday Gift to America: A Tour of the White House, among others.
