Cryer is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Dr. Alan Harper on Two and a Half Men.
It’s great to have some new people in the category, because it’s some new people I can lose to. This year, I’ve decided that if I lose I’m just going to lose it completely and beat the crud out of somebody sitting near me. … I think people will watch the Emmy telecast just to see who in the heck I beat up.

Emmy nomination
Weaver is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Mary Griffith on Prayers for Bobby.
I’m in shock. It really does mean so much because I think Mary Griffith’s story is so wrenching, and the courage she has to share this story with all of us so other families don’t make this mistake, to me that’s the way that’s carried this tiny movie along. Our producers who worked for 13 years to get this made, they are jumping up and down. So it’s wonderful for us. … We’re all in shock.

I was awake already and I had forgotten that this was the morning. I’m way up north at my cabin in the woods in northern Minnesota. And I thought it was somebody calling to talk to me about my bat problem here in the cabin. So I was very relieved and it was an unanticipated bit of joyful information.

Sedgwick is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Brenda Leigh Johnson on The Closer.
It is a very happy household with Kevin being nominated too. The funny thing is I forgot about the nominations and slept through it, but I think Kevin woke up a little early for them and it’s a real vote of confidence as I drive to work this morning. It’s going to be really nice to go together this year and be able to support him as he has supported me there the last four years.

As Brothers & Sisters enters its fourth season, it still is and always will be a great honor to be nominated. The only hard part is finding a dress…and a date.

Close is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Patty Hewes on Damages.
I’m really happy that in our second year, the team pulled off something the Academy saw that was worth recognizing, and I was especially happy for Rose, who is so much fun to work with. I wish the writers were nominated, though, as I wouldn’t be here for the second time without the words they put in my mouth.

Emmy nomination
Louis-Dreyfus is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Christine Campbell on The New Adventures of Old Christine.
She is such a buffoon. People kind of dig her, and it makes them feel better about themselves. When you compare her to someone like Elaine, she is better-intentioned, which makes her idiocy tragic in a funny a way — which adds to the appeal.

This is a wonderful recognition of what we created together every week.
