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