Bones - Emmy Nominated! (premature, and no such luck!)

I'm confused. I hope I'm not plugging this and it turns out to not be true, but I just have to post it!

This afternoon I was on [Only admins are allowed to see this link] and I saw this posted ...

"BONES is nominated for an Emmy as well as David for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. and Emily Deschanel for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
The 61st Primetime Emmy's award show is held on September 20, 2009 (CBS) - The Creative Arts Awards and Ball on September 12, 2009"




Hunh?! *goes into a wild, BIG snoopy dance*




So I went digging for it on a news site, and found this posted

So ... does anyone know if setje has the kind of connections that she would know this kind of info before it's released publicly??!! How can that be! (But that's my mama's 75th birthday, and my heart wants to believe that she's sending us all a nice big wonderful gift from heaven for her birthday!!)

<<<< ... see post below where I hear from setje about this. >>>>

oh wow that would be great. but i remember a couple of weeks ago i was watching a show that i recorded on fox and saw that "Hero" was going to be on that week, but what got me was that it said " for Emmy consideration" during the spot. i hope that it true.

I want to believe that, I really do, because well...IT'S ABOUT TIME.

But, yeah...I still wanna wait until they announce things before I begin my squee fest. Because honestly. HITH wasn't as awesome as, say, Con Man for instance. But David WAS really great in it (if that's the episode they're referring to).

AHHH....I want this to be true.

this would be a first for David and for the show right???

Yes! I've never heard the show being Emmy-nominated for anything!

I want to believe it too, but I just have to hold out for the public announcements as well. Everybody, cross your fingers, and if you can, cross your toes! *X*

Okay, so I have an update. I wrote setje asking for clarification of what she posted and this is what she wrote back ...


Sorry about the late reply
I got his name from a very reliable source , he's in the list of nominations
Till July when only a few will be left , we will see then

... so I'm going to go change the title of this thread, a little anyway.

it seems like everytime I start watching a show it becomes popular or starts doing really well in the ratings. I don't know why. Bones deserves to be nominated!!

cross our fingers!!!

That would be awesome for the show! They definitely deserve it...

Yeah I wouldn't trust it. All reliable sites say that nominations will be out on the sixteenth, but I really wish and hope and pray that they HAVE been nominated. It's long overdue!!!!!!!!!!!

if this turns out to be true, that is amazing news. I'm sure we'll hear soon enough from Hart on twitter or something. But, it certainly would be nice for them to get some recognition.

I can only imagine how excited Hart would be (let alone David and Emily and everyone else of course) if/when it does happen. The show deserves it, but we'll have to hold our breaths with everyone else until it's announced.

Nah, sorry but it means that they're up for consideration. Whoever makes the shortlist is only known on the 16th. I'd be as happy as everyone else, but I sincerely doubt it. With Brian Cranston, Michael C. Hall, G. Byrne, Hugh Laurie (who is long overdue, never mind my utter dislike of the show these days), Kieff, Michael Chicklis (who just finished The Shield), Spader... too many people, there already.

Edit: So, if anyone cares, according to my trusty LA times, this is how the race is shaping up to be:

* = Top 10 semifinalist in 2008
** = Nominee in 2008



LEAD ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
(Front-runners)
Simon Baker, "The Mentalist"
Gabriel Byrne, "In Treatment" **
Kyle Chandler, "Friday Night Lights" *
Michael Chiklis, "The Shield"
Bryan Cranston, "Breaking Bad" ** (winner, 2008)
Laurence Fishburne, "CSI"
Michael C. Hall, "Dexter" **
Jon Hamm, "Mad Men" **
Hugh Laurie, "House M.D." **
Denis Leary, "Rescue Me" *
Bill Paxton, "Big Love"
James Spader, "Boston Legal" **
Kiefer Sutherland, "24"

Let's just cross our fingers and hope to TPTB that does not happen.

I asked Stephen Nathan on twitter if he knew if the emmy rumours were true and i got this back...

squarechicken@IndiaGreen I love those kind of rumors. But as you know rumors, being rumors, are very hard to verify.

That's about 20 minutes from now!!!!!! I just looked at TV Guide but I don't know who's going to be airing it?? Somebody please find out and watch. I'm not going to be able to be in front of a TV! I'm soo curious! Soo excited!

Um...I hate to be the bearer of bad news but...we weren't nominated.

That is to say, BONES, David and Emily weren't. I haven't checked the full listings for supporting actors and guest-stars yet though.

Oh, but there was this:

Outstanding Art Direction For A Single-Camera Series

Bones • The Hero In The Hold • FOX • 20th Century Fox Television
Michael Mayer, Production Designer
Gregory S. Richman, Art Director
Kimberly Wannop, Set Decorator

Yay. Still pretty cool.

yeah, but Emily really deserved it this year, so did David for that matter. I look at some of the nominees and it's just like, WTF? I can't believe they keep passing on these two.

RM

Nooo!

oh that sucks.
At least we got one nom.

I am all squees and smiles over this. They so had this nom coming. I mean, that set? Must have been hell to make. Even if they don't get it, glad they got some recognition. =)

[Also, Jim Parsons and Dr. Horrible! OMGYAY!]

I know, on the bright side. Oh well. What I don't get is why they upped the number of nominations. It used to be an honor or at least a compliment to even get nominated, and now it's like getting an honorable mention award at the science fair or those little trophies they give to the losing little league team.

I'm excited they got the nom for HITH though. Awesome.

Okay, I'll Yay! for The Hero in the Hold! My heart's not in it though. I should be a better sport. I guess I just got my hopes up too high!

owww sucsk for the Bones but at least Kyra Sedgwick was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress

Oh and Pushing Daisies in 5 categories categories!
Plus Kristin Chenoweth as supporing actress for Olive Snook charcter whhohoooooooooooooooooooooot
