Mattel using Drupal
Mattel, the world's largest toy company, just relaunched Mattel.com on Drupal. The site was built by Vancouver-based work [at] play. Mattel products include Barbie dolls, Hot Wheels, Matchbox cars, Masters of the Universe, and much more. For once, my kids and family will understand what I'm talking about. ;-)
Emmys using Drupal
Glamour, glitter, and champagne all around because Drupal has gone Hollywood. The Emmys website has just switched to Drupal in preparation for the announcement of nominees tomorrow, and the subsequent annual Emmy award ceremony later this year. The Emmys are annual awards to outstanding television programs and performers.
Emmys.com was previously a static HTML website, with a few custom PHP components. The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (the parent organization) migrated to Drupal largely because of the positive experiences various Academy members and other industry leaders have had with using Drupal.
The new Emmys.com is a joint project of volunteers from the Academy's television industry leadership, its staff, and Emmy magazine -- they built the site with the help of Metal Toad Media. In addition to migrating their main website, emmys.com, they're also in the progress of converting some of their other related properties.

EA using Drupal for Battlefield Heroes
Computer and video game developer Electronic Arts (EA) is using Drupal for their upcoming shooter game called Battlefield Heroes. I'm not big on games, but their trailer looks fun so maybe I'll give it a try. It sounds like, for a change, I wouldn't repeatedly get killed by a ultra-skilled 15 years old ...
According to the trailer, they have big plans for their website. They want to use it to host a long-running territorial conflict meta-game. Curious to learn if that will be built in Drupal too.
Rock Band using Drupal
The website of Rock Band, a music video game for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 is using Drupal. The game was developed by Harmonix Music Systems, published by MTV Games, and distributed by Electronic Arts Partners, but who built the website?
