WE 사랑 TV: Strange Emmy news for local shows "One 나무, 트리 Hill," "Eastbound & Down," "Little Britain USA"
A peek at this year's Emmy ballot revealed some surprises about TV series filmed in the Wilmington area, including "One 나무, 트리 Hill," "Little Britain USA" and "Eastbound & Down."
Now, every actor on TV isn't automatically put on the ballot. It costs a little money, and it's up to the actors (or their publicists 또는 agents 또는 networks) to 제출하기 their names.
Also, while some guidelines are in place about eligibility, it's ultimately up to an actor whether he 또는 she is entered, say, as a lead 또는 supporting player. Interestingly, Sarah Chalke of "Scrubs" is listed as a supporting actress this year, while her ensemble co-star Judy Reyes is 제출됨 in the lead category. Sometimes this has to do with the storylines actors felt best showed their talents. Supporting candidates 제출하기 multiple episodes for consideration but lead candidates usually just 제출하기 one.
Recent rule changes let actors in variety shows (like "Saturday Night Live") 제출하기 themselves as a series supporting player (instead of individual achievement in a music/variety show). But that has led to some strange submissions. Tracey Ullman, who is pretty much the only person on screen in her "State of the Union" Showtime series, is 제출됨 in the comedy supporting actress category. "Little Britain USA" co-star David Walliams also is 제출됨 in the supporting actor category, though his screen time clearly makes him 더 많이 of a lead, along with co-star Matt Lucas. Lucas didn't 제출하기 himself of "Little Britain" at all, choosing instead to 제출하기 himself for his supporting role in Comedy Central's "Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire." It's an odd choice, especially because "Little Britain" probably has a slightly higher 프로필 with voters, if only because it aired on HBO.
As for "One 나무, 트리 Hill," none of the main five (Chad Michael Murray, Hilarie Burton, Bethany Joy Galeotti, James Lafferty 또는 Sophia Bush) were submitted, but singer Kate Voegele was. Her name shows up on the supporting actress ballot.
The only other "One 나무, 트리 Hill" name on the ballot is James 봉고차, 반 Der Beek, who is 제출됨 for his guest appearance on "Hill". He's not the only former "Dawson's Creek" 별, 스타 on the ballot. Katie Holmes is there for her 노래 and dancing guest turn on "Eli Stone," and Joshua Jackson is on the list as a lead actor in a drama series candidate for "Fringe."
The locally made show with the most actors on the ballot is "Eastbound & Down." Every regular cast member, including lead actor Danny McBride and supporting players Katy Mixon, Ben Best and Andrew Daly, are on the ballot, as are guest stars Will Ferrell, Craig Robinson and Gina Gershon.
Of all these actors, Ferrell is probably a lock for a nomination for playing slick car dealer Ashley Schaeffer on "Eastbound." Depending on how well-received "Eastbound" was in Hollywood, McBride is a possibility, too. "Little Britain USA" might never have gotten the buzz it needed to stand out from the pack. And, it's doubtful any of the former "Dawson's Creek" kids will be nominated, though my money would be on Holmes, who was her old charming self as a mystery woman connected to Eli. And that dance number wasn't bad, either.
In the 글쓰기 categories, "One 나무, 트리 Hill" 제출됨 the episode "Letting Go," which aired March 30 (Peyton secretly prepares her 프렌즈 for life without her, while Lucas tries to console his troubled nephew 의해 sharing his own childhood refuge...). "Eastbound & Down" 제출됨 its first and fourth episodes (though there is so much ad-libbing on that show, I'm not sure how you'd judge the writing). And "Little Britain USA" 제출됨 itself for Outstanding 글쓰기 For A Variety, 음악 또는 Comedy Series.
For directing, "One 나무, 트리 Hill" 제출됨 its 1940s episode and "Eastbound" 제출됨 episodes one, four and five. "Little Britain USA" is in the Outstanding Directing For A Variety, 음악 또는 Comedy Series category.
The Emmy nominations will be announced July 16
