Katherine Heigl drops out of the Emmy race
Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl has taken herself out of the race for this year’s Emmy Awards.
“I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention,” Heigl told L.A. Times columnist Tom O’ Neil. “In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials,” she added.
Heigl – who won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series last year – isn’t one to hold back her feelings.
The actress dubbed her flick Knocked Up “a little sexist,” called a Grey’s Anatomy plot line a “ratings ploy” and defended T.R. Knight against a homophobic slur from Isaiah Washington.
“I always tell it like it is,” Heigl has said.

what stupid, annoying woman - so self-important, even when it’s supposed to look like she’s not, that’s how she comes across. How does anyone find her likable???

I couldn’t agree more! She is so full of herself, who’s to say she would have won? Can’t stand her!

I agree.

She’s just blunt and speaks her mind. What’s wrong with that? Does it scare you??

Ugh, I can’t stand that woman.
Being blunt and speaking your mind is one thing…being a pompous, cunty bitch is another thing entirely.

Also, if the Academy had any integrity, she wouldn’t have won last year. That crap show is damn near unwatchable…Sara Ramirez it’s only saving grace. Now that is a talented, gracious actress. Love her.
Heigl can suck it.

Are you really scared of her? Seriously? Are you more important yourself? It’s CLASS not to be an A$$. Good for her, sure it was probably an underhanded attempt to get back at the writers, but nothing more.

Do any of you remeber when she did a part two of Romey and Michelle? Its amazing how quick things go to people’s head.

She needs to speak her mind to her hubby not the press. She is coming off really poorly and talking crap about the show and movie that made her a star is not going to help her get any new parts.

This ignorant talentless bitch is so quick to bite the hand that feeds her it is amazing she continues to work in the business.
I hope Grey’s writer drop a giant surgical lamp on her character early next season, and give her what she wants already–a swift kick in the ass back to reality.
What an pompous jerk!
