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.

Field is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Nora Walker on Brothers & Sisters.
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.
Emmy nomination
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
Silverman is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Sarah Silverman on The Sarah Silverman Program.
I understand that with this nomination comes great responsibility. It’s about the kids. And homeless animals.

Parker is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Nancy Botwin on Weeds.
I am thrilled to be nominated amongst this talented group of actors and especially happy for my friend Christina that she is being recognized for her great work. I feel proud to be a part of this show and to work with an incredible group of creative minds who take chances and are being acknowledged for this today.
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.

Fey is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Liz Lemon on 30 Rock.
Emmy nomination
Applegate is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Samantha Newly on Samantha Who?
This year’s nomination means more to me than ever before. I’m incredibly happy and honored. Certainly it’s bittersweet—we no longer get to do the show that we love so much, but that doesn’t take away from the excitement and honor of this nomination. This is a wonderful recognition of what we created together every week.

Emmy nomination
Branagh is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Det. Kurt Wallander on Wallander: One Step Behind.
I’m honoured to be nominated amongst such a group of actors and so proud for everyone involved with this first series of Wallander. It was a huge team effort to produce ambitious television – existential angst and mystery in rural Sweden is not an easy pitch – but the public around the world has responded wonderfully, and I’m thrilled by the Academy’s recognition.
Emmy nomination
Bacon is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Lt. Colonel Michael Strobl on Taking Chance.
It’s a happy house today and I guess it’s a lot better than the alternative if neither one of us were nominated or just one. Thank God Kyra and I aren’t in the same category…
Emmy nomination
Gleeson is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Sir Winston Churchill on Into the Storm.
Being Irish, I had to take a couple of deep breaths. This was a serious piece of work and a massive challenge, and quite terrifying up to a point. In some ways, there’s a sense of you in Churchill, and you have to deal with his words and not in mimicry. You go to the source material as much as you can.
