WE Liebe TV: Strange Emmy news for local shows "One baum 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 baum 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 oder agents oder networks) to Abschicken their names.
Also, while some guidelines are in place about eligibility, it's ultimately up to an actor whether he oder she is entered, say, as a lead oder supporting player. Interestingly, Sarah Chalke of "Scrubs" is listed as a supporting actress this year, while her ensemble co-star Judy Reyes is Abgeschickt in the lead category. Sometimes this has to do with the storylines actors felt best showed their talents. Supporting candidates Abschicken multiple episodes for consideration but lead candidates usually just Abschicken one.
Kürzlich rule changes let actors in variety shows (like "Saturday Night Live") Abschicken 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 Abgeschickt in the comedy supporting actress category. "Little Britain USA" co-star David Walliams also is Abgeschickt in the supporting actor category, though his screen time clearly makes him Mehr of a lead, along with co-star Matt Lucas. Lucas didn't Abschicken himself of "Little Britain" at all, choosing instead to Abschicken 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 Profil with voters, if only because it aired on HBO.
As for "One baum Hill," none of the main five (Chad Michael Murray, Hilarie Burton, Bethany Joy Galeotti, James Lafferty oder Sophia Bush) were submitted, but singer Kate Voegele was. Her name shows up on the supporting actress ballot.
The only other "One baum Hill" name on the ballot is James transporter, van Der Beek, who is Abgeschickt for his guest appearance on "Hill". He's not the only former "Dawson's Creek" star, sterne on the ballot. Katie Holmes is there for her Singen and dancing guest turn on "Eli Stone," and Joshua Jackson is on the Liste as a lead actor in a drama series candidate for "Fringe."
The locally made Zeigen 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 Schreiben categories, "One baum Hill" Abgeschickt the episode "Letting Go," which aired March 30 (Peyton secretly prepares her Friends for life without her, while Lucas tries to console his troubled nephew Von sharing his own childhood refuge...). "Eastbound & Down" Abgeschickt 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" Abgeschickt itself for Outstanding Schreiben For A Variety, Musik oder Comedy Series.
For directing, "One baum Hill" Abgeschickt its 1940s episode and "Eastbound" Abgeschickt episodes one, four and five. "Little Britain USA" is in the Outstanding Directing For A Variety, Musik oder Comedy Series category.
The Emmy nominations will be announced July 16
