The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

Shonda Rhimes won the Black Reel Award for Outstanding Writing, Drama Series and the series was recognized at the NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Drama Series. Kris Bowers's score and soundtrack, containing reinterpretations of pop songs in a classical style, was well-received, with Alicia Keys's song "If I Ain't Got You" being nominated at the MTV Video Music Award for Best Video for Good.
