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