so will any of the heroes cast get nominated in the best actress or actor category? in previous award shows, they only got nominated in the best supporting category.
how do we now who are the main actors? does that mean the heroes cast can only be nominated in the best supporting category?
lost has a big cast too but their some of their main casts get nominations in the best actor/actress category.

Maybe Lost works differently and considers their most important characters the main characters? I have no clue because I don't watch it. My guess if any of them get nominated in those categories that they'll be in supporting since I believe that's where the actors put their applications in. We'll have to find out on the 19th (the day the nominations are announced) I think I'm scared for them more than they are.

im not sure how it will work. i guess we'll have to see on the 19th

Nope, everyone is up for either supporting or guest star.

This is the official list of actors campaigning for a nomination and the episodes they submitted for judging.

Heroes (George Takei - Landslide)

Guest Actress in a Drama Series
Heroes (Ashley Crow - Company Man)

I got the info from http://theenvelope.latimes.com/

I am thinking for the "Best supporting Actor in a Drama Series" will have to go to Masi Oka in Five Years Gone. Even thou he was playing himself, he did an incredible and extremely convincing job of playing two versions of Hiro.

It takes a good actor to play two extremes of a character, let alone in the same setting opposite himself.

I can't believe the didn't put Christopher Eccleston (Claude) into the Guest Star category. Everyone thinks he was brilliant!

Heroes' hunt for an Emmy, We got a tough row to hoe

from the looks of this article: http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/emmy...,0,977368.story Heroes has a tough row to hoe when it comes to snagging one

Beat me to it by three minutes, fast lil bugger, aren't ya?

In any case, it doesn't bother me, I didn't and don't expect Heroes to win.

This kinda sucks, because I believe Heroes deserves an Emmy more than shows like Grey's Anatomy... but it's not going to get it because it's Sci-FI.. that's silly. Heroes is original, and that's why I love it.

Oh well, it will always be a winner in my eyes! (House must win now!)

I'm the same way. I have no high expectations so I will never be let down. I think it was said better in the movie Dodgeball.

If i remember correctly, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King won 11 Oscars and was the first Sci Fi-Fantasy to win "movie of the year" since Star Wars in 1977. So anything can happen. If I am wrong with the details, please correct me.

Thats pretty much the way I see it, Lauryn.

Aside from the Sci-Fi elements already working against it, I don't think the series has enough overblown drama (except for Hayden, she's awesome and hopefully nominated somewhere) to get the win here.

If Lost, Grey's Anatomy or The Sopranos don't kill it, Friday Night Lights will.

If Friday Night Lights wins over House, I will SCREAM!

I kinda agree with you too LordFireFly, about LOTR, but that was SO RARE... not going to happen in the Emmy's.. oh well.

LOTR winning eleven oscars, I remember that. It was crazy as hell.

Probably the best nerd revenge story in many years.

LMAO! YES!

House had a really mediocre season IMO. Friday Night Lights is a really well made show, so if Heroes can't win, my vote goes for FNL. I hope Dexter at least gets a nomination.

I admit, House's season wasn't too great... but I really disliked FNL

I'll still pray on Heroes still winning!

So do I (though not as much as Studio 60) but it seems to be the latest critics underdog darling.

The underperforming drama that some feel obligated to champion for one reason or another so it wouldn't come as a surprise to me if it goes home with the pity emmy.

Note that I'm not saying I think FNL is a bad show, because I don't, all I'm saying is I want to stab it in the heart and decorate my face with it's entrails.

I hope Heroes getting snubbed at the Golden Globes isn't foreshadowing another snubbing at the Emmys. I'll bet Heroes will get nominated in the Best Drama Category, but loses out to The Sopranos because it's its last season

And I think the Sci-Fi discrimination is ridiculous. If it's a good show, it's a good show, it really shouldn't be treated any differently, even if it does stand out amongst all those other clones for shows. So what if the whole superhero element isn't very realistic? Isn't the point of TV to escape reality?

There was a rumor article up on Yahoo about some nominations that were possibly leaked but I can't access it becuase my computer is having a seizure right now.

Excuse me while I go restart my PC for the 800th time.

Isn't this it? I saw your thread from before.

Ah, that would be it.

Thank you.

hmmm pretty much all of those were predictable though..

Heroes is a long shot..but stranger things have happened. A lot of times it comes down to the messages of the show...So we may just sneak in because of that. When your countrys at war, everyone wants to jump on the "hope" band wagon. lol

^^ too true Leek.. I like the way you think, lol.

And if we don't win, I'll just flip back my hair and curse mainstream whatever. Then I'll make a few posts and use this emotion:

That didn't seem to work too well for Battlestar Galatica.

I'm not exactly a big fan of BSG but the fact that it continues to escape even just a nomination every year is quite surprising to me. The proof of the prejudice in the pudding is right there.

Where did you get that emoticon? Is there one per character?

When you hit "reply", on the reply screen theres the Smiley option. When you click the arrow and all of the smiles comes down, theres an option on top that says "Show all"

If you click that, its a list of all the emotions. Scroll down to the bottom and you'll find Heroes emotions. Or you could type things like

:Sy*lar: or :Cla*ire: minus the *'s to get 'um

Thanks! This is fun!
OK, I admit I'm getting way off topic.
So yeah, at least some of them should get nominated.
Guess we'll have to wait until the 19th to find out.

OMG LEEK! These are so cool! thanks!

I totally agree. I'd like to see Hayden for Company Man as well. And... I'd like to say Sendhil should get one too... but that's probably just because he's gorgeous.

Sadly, unless your name is Halle Berry, you can't really win an award just for looking fine so I'm afraid that puts Sendhil out of the running.

hey, he was great in Parasite.. yeah.

Once again, I'll just say this...GO ALI!

Don't get me wrong, I think Sendhil is a solid and reliable actor with alot of good opportunities ahead of him but I don't think he has really done anything emmy worthy on the show just yet.

...And "we need caffeine"'s delivery made me cringe.

From 59th Annual Primetime Emmy's Eligibility and Rules site



For shows like Heroes and Lost, I think they are seen as ensemble casts. I'm sure the credits all say "Starring" and it was a conscious choice to remain all "Supporting Cast." I think that's what the cast of "Friends" did for the first few years, because remember, for many years, they were all nominated in the "Supporting" categories. I think eventually, they agreed, or just did it, and upped the noms to "Starring" categories... I think.

I could see the cast of Heroes unifying this way. It has major benefits for them at first. That's partially why the cast of "Friends" earned such large paychecks - bargaining as a group, sticking together as a team, etc.

Also interesting... Many agents actually do the submitting of the nomination videos, for their clients, and, there's a fee! I didn't know that. $250 or some such nonsense, to get submit! Wow!

Okay, so I've seen the list of people in the running for each category and I have a question maybe someone can help me answer. How exactly is it that Zachary Quinto isn't on The List for Guest Actor? My best guess is some sort of technicality about screen time/number of episodes. Since he was on about half of the season and would maybe qualify as more than just a guest star but he wasn't made a regular cast member till this year for next season. If anyone could help me answer this that would be greatly appreciated because his work obviously on the show was breakout quality.

Yeah, that's true. His acting was good, but not exactly amazing. The same goes for Milo...Sure, he's got the looks, but I'm afraid his acting isn't exactly Emmy-material. His acting was great in some, but in others, it was sorta meh. His conversation with Nathan in "The Hard Part" almost made me cringe. I also think he did a pretty poor job as Future Peter, but that's just me. (plans to kick self later because I'm pretty much in love with Milo.)




Yeah, that's a good question. Zach was one of the best actors on the whole show! He at least deserves to be taken into consideration.

I think it had something to do with him not entering it by the right date or something? or not submitting himself, something along the lines of that.

I suspect all the awards to go to the regular shows such as 24, Lost and Grey's Anatomy, none of which I thought was any good this year.. 24 and lost used to be good, but they are kinda.. or really bad now. Grey's Anatomy was alight, but there was too much distraction with the whole cast situations that I found it hard to focus on the actual show...

That's my theory as well. There used to be a rule that somone listed as guest actor isn't eligible if they appear in more than 6 episodes. I thought they changed that but maybe not.

That won't be a problem.

Theres no way in hell (frozen over or not) 24 is getting an Emmy this year.

How can they totally snub Heroes and "sci-fi" shows? They should just make a separate category for "Sci-fi" shows. And they should totally sue for discrimination or something!

Lets see..nominations for Best Sci-Fi shows are:

HEROES---of course!

Battlestar Galactica (I LOVE it!)<--How can the Emmy's totally ignore Edward James Olmos?

The 4400-(They have some good acting too!)

..and other shows I can't think of right now...

There are a lot of decent sci-fi shows out there to have a decent competition. /

Well, the Emmy nominations will be announced tomorrow morning, I think - here's hoping Heroes gets a nomination! (crosses fingers and toes...)

They usually announce these things early in the morning, so I'll be checking the morning news shows and hoping for the best.

Good luck Heroes! They better not snub ya!

Where will they be announcing these and at what time?

From emmy.tv:



Not sure if they'll broadcast it on E! or not though, I thought they usually announce major award nominations on there.

Gahh! I think I'll be at work, or just about to go to work by that time! This is gonna kill me for the entire day!

Yes, it's going to air on E!

What time for us east coasters?

8:40?

So then..us here in the middle get it at 7:40?
