Perkins is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Celia Hodes on Weeds.
Weeds has provided me the opportunity to work with some of the most talented actors and writers I’ve ever met and it’s really an honor to be nominated for playing such a malicious, contemptible, totally outrageous, emotionally bankrupt character. I’m having a ball.
Emmy nomination
Krakowski is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Jenna Maroney on 30 Rock.
The writers have created an amazing character in Jenna, which I just love to play. I’m so honored to be part of this ensemble. This is my first Emmy nomination; I’m so excited! I am blown away by the number of nominations the show has received and thrilled for everyone.

Chenoweth is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Olive Snook on Pushing Daisies.
It does feel like a wonderful curtain call, now that the show is over. I think what it will be remembered for in history is the idea of bringing back a person and then making the decision if they live or die. And just the look of it … it was like watching a mini-movie every week, and what I hear all the time from people on the street is how much they miss it and how much heart the show had. And I think that is something that is missing in some of today’s shows.

Slattery is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Roger Sterling, Jr. on Mad Men.
He wants something, even if it is socially unacceptable — he goes for it whether it be a hooker or a cocktail waitress, or lights up cigarette after cigarette. … The thing about Roger is he has a great sense of humor, and he laughs at his own jokes, which relates back to the kind of person he is.

Paul is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad.
This season there was a lot of character development, and it showed the softer side of Jesse. He’s an emotional kid trying to find his way, and people are pulling for him. In the first season, they weren’t sure what they’d do with Jesse, and the second season opened up to different things. He wasn’t from a battered home but just got mixed up in the wrong crowd. He thinks cooking is an art, and he’s proud of it. He’s doing something he’s good at.

Emmy nomination
Harris is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother.
I love being in the mix again this year, but am absolutely over the moon about HIMYM‘s best comedy series nomination. The only multicamera show in the mix! This kind of recognition is huge for us. Just huge. It should be quite the night. Being asked to host the show—terrific. Getting a third nomination—fantastic. Having the ability to scribble my name in the envelope backstage when no one is looking—priceless.
