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