Katherine Heigl on T.R. Knight missing from 'Grey's Anatomy'

17 July 2009 3:25 PM, PDT | From Hitfix.com | See recent Hitfix news

  While conducting a press conference to discuss her upcoming romantic comedy "The Ugly Truth" with co-star Gerard Butler and director Robert Luketic, Katherine Heigl bluntly discussed returning to production on "Grey's Anatomy." Rumors were flying last spring that Heigl, whose movie career has taken off with the hits "Knocked Up" and "27 Dresses" had no interest in returning for a sixth season of the popular ABC show.  It all seemed a fait accompli with Heigl's character flatlining after a  long bought with cancer during the show's season finale.  Instead, ABC announced -- to all of Holywood's surprise -- that Heigl...

Red Carpet: Blood Suckers and Beauties

17 July 2009 1:34 PM, PDT | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news

It's that time again. A random selection of actresses that were out and about last week. You can always interpret "random" to mean: people Nathaniel wants to say something about.

Anna Paquin.

Who knew when she was hyperventilating onstage at the '93 Oscars that she'd make good as an adult star, too? She never found a film role as magical as her debut (The Piano) but her career suddenly has new life, courtesy of the undead (True Blood). And she looks pretty good in a cheongsam too. That Globe win didn't convince Emmy to bite but they've long had a history of ignoring younger actresses (Claire Danes' immortal portrayal of "Angela Chase" didn't win) and snubbing women in genre shows altogether (Sarah Michelle Gellar's Buffy, Mary McDonnell's President Roslyn...

Katherine and Gerard Have a Good Time With The Ugly Truth

17 July 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | From Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news

Gerard Butler got silly with a giggling Katherine Heigl at the La premiere of The Ugly Truth last night. Katherine showed off her new darker 'do to her Bff T.R. Knight and a few other costars from Grey's Anatomy. She didn't talk about the news of the Emmy nominations. After her year of ghost sex and brain tumors, it may have been surprising to not see her name on the list. Gerard was taking a break from work on The Bounty with Jennifer Aniston, and he opened up on the carpet about how they laugh about all the dating rumors. He had nothing but praise for Jen, as he's apparently quite friendly with many of his leading ladies.

Farrah's long-term partner Ryan O'Neal said yesterday (16.07.09) as the awards were announced: "I know that she is smiling that fabulous smile right now in heaven, and that she is grateful the show has been so well received not only by her peers in the industry but by the public at large."

Grey's Anatomy: George Wasn't Supposed to be Izzie's Heavenly Escort

17 July 2009 3:00 AM, PDT | From buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news

We all know how it's going down next season of Grey's Anatomy, even though the two characters' tragic fate at the end of the fourth season was left hanging. Katherine Heigl's Izzie will stay for what is likely her last season, while the medical drama has pulled the plug on T.R. Knight's George.  By now, most fans have already accepted this tragedy but for others, the haunting image of an army-clad George waiting outside the elevator for Izzie is still hard to take.

Wilson Tricked At Emmy Announcement

16 July 2009 7:06 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Emmy Awards bosses tricked double-nominee Chandra Wilson into believing she'd been left off this year's shortlist.

The Grey's Anatomy star's name was omitted from a rundown of nominees she was shown before taking to the stage to announce the 2009 candidates on Thursday.

So she was stunned when she discovered she'd picked up two nods for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama for Grey's Anatomy and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for Accidental Friendship.

A shocked Wilson tells People.com, "We did the rehearsal ahead of time and went down the teleprompter three times. My name wasn’t there, so I was like, 'Cool.'

"I'd been completely duped."

Emmy nominations: '30 Rock' explosion, '24' implosion, 'Family Guy' wreaks havoc, newcomers snubbed in expanded series races

16 July 2009 2:09 PM, PDT | From Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news

• Both of last year's series champs -- comedy "30 Rock" and drama "Mad Men" -- lead the field in their respective categories again this year. "30 Rock" broke the record for nominations it set last year with 17 bids by landing 22 nods this year. "Mad Men" repeated with 16 nominations, far off the 27 nods for the first season of "NYPD Blue" in 1994. "30 Rock" won seven of its races last year and "Mad Men" prevailed in six. • After being benched last year because of the writers strike, former Emmy powerhouse "24" made a lackluster return to the race this year, failing to score bids for either series or TV movie ("24: Redemption"). Kiefer Sutherland, who was a fixture in the best actor in a drama series category, was snubbed for the first time in the show's seven years. He had to make do with a nod in the TV movie actor race for the one-off "24: Redemption.

Emmy Nominations Reveal Few Surprises

16 July 2009 10:01 AM, PDT | From CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news

It's a good day for funny people, especially if your name is Tina Fey or Seth MacFarlane.

Fey's series, 30 Rock, was handed 22 Emmy nominations this morning, which stands as a record for a comedy series. She and Alec Baldwin were also nominated for acting awards.

30 Rock Lands 22 Primetime Emmy Nods

16 July 2009 8:31 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey's hit comedy 30 Rock is leading the charge for the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards after landing a whopping 22 nominations.

The show will defend its title as Best TV Comedy for the third year running, against Entourage, Weeds, Flight of the Conchords, the U.S. version of The Office, How I Met Your Mother and Family Guy. The animated series' inclusion is the first time a cartoon has been shortlisted for the prize since The Flintstones in 1961.

30 Rock's leading stars will do battle in the male and female categories for the best comedy actor awards. Hollywood star Baldwin is up against the likes of Steve Carell (The Office), Charlie Sheen (Two and a Half Men) and Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), while Fey is competing with Christina Applegate (Samantha Who?), Sarah Silverman (The Sarah Silverman Program), and Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds).

Meanwhile, Mad Men has scored 16 nods, including Best Drama Series - which it won last year - and Best Lead Actor, Drama for Jon Hamm and Best Lead Actress, Drama for Elisabeth Moss.

Hamm is nominated alongside actors such as Dexter's Michael C. Hall, Simon Baker for The Mentalist, and Hugh Laurie for medical series House; and Moss will face stiff competition from Glenn Close (Damages), Sally Field (Brothers & Sisters) and Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), among others in her category.

House and legal thriller Damages are also in the running for Best Drama Series.

In the TV movie categories, Drew Barrymore's Grey Gardens - in which the actress plays Jackie Kennedy-Onassis' reclusive cousin 'Little' Edie Beale - garnered 17 nominations, with the star receiving recognition for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie. The HBO film is also up for the prizes of Outstanding Casting and Outstanding Directing for a Miniseries, Movie Or A Special for moviemaker Michael Sucsy, in addition to a number of technical awards.

And there was praise for actress Chandra Wilson, who announced the nominees on Thursday morning with Jim Parsons. She was named alongside Barrymore in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie category for her role in Accidental Friendship, while her turn in Grey's Anatomy earned her a nod for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

The 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will be handed out on 20 September at a ceremony in Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre and will be presented by Neil Patrick Harris.
