Actually, heres the scenario:

Dude A managed to Polymorph an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn into the field. Since he cheated it into play, Emrakul does not get the casting bonus. Now its Dude B's turn and topdecks a Journey to Nowhere. He then casted it (Dude A has 0 cards in his hand). Journey resolves, then targets Emrakul. Dude A says it will not work because Emrakul has protection from colored spells. Dude B argues back that when Journey resolved, its actually Journey's 'enters the battlefield' ability that targets Emrakul, not the spell.

In this current scenario, which player is right; Dude A or Dude B? Also, would this apply to Oblivion Ring as well?

Thanks!

Spells only exist on the stack. In this case, the targeting is done by Joyrney of Nowhere when it's already on the battlefield. Because of that, it's a permanent and not a spell, and the ability can target Emrakul. Same thing with Oblivion Ring.

Prepare to keep answering to this question for a long time in future now.
