Defending Heigl

Gray's Anatomy star Chandra Wilson spoke out about the Emmy bruhaha that surrounded co-star Katherine Heigl and her decision not to put her name into consideration for an award this year.

Says Wilson:

"All actors have to do that exactly same thing every year. The public at large doesn't understand it's not about your body of works. It can't be something in the middle. You can have a great seasonal arc, but if you don't have that show that's your show, then it's not the right thing for the category. It was amazing to me the way it got blown out of proportion. Some years I submit, some years I don't."

Does this change your mind about Heigl?

Ingrate or not?

      I'm more concerned with Chandra Wilson's response. Horribly written! She's a writer?!?!? Case in point:

      All actors have to do that exactly same thing every year. The public at large doesn't understand it's not about your body of works.

      Tense problems. Grammar. Misplaced pronouns. Someone should proof her work before it leaves her desk. :-)

      Please find something else to bitch about. She's pretty, she's doing what she went there to do, and if you can do it better, get off your angry ass and do it.

      She's a stinky smoking bitch. Her breath smells like rotten farts.

      Yea it changes my mind. She was just being genuine and honest, realizing that her name could get her something that she didnt earn, and in doing that rob some less famous person of what they DO deserve. good call. People should get what they deserve instead of it being a popularity contest.

      ugh… Did Jennifer Aniston or Cox leave friends the show that launched them until it was done to pursue movies? NO! She's young she has time. Show some loyalty!

      I'm not a huge fan and agree that she may talk too much sometimes but from my understanding the only reason she mentioned why she withdrew was because tmz or some paps had asked her why so she answered. Its not like she held a big press conference to "trash the writers."

      But I bet had she not won the emmy last year then she wouldn't have withdrawn, haha.

    15. 115

      Pretty face, average body, boring style, mediocre talent…big out of control ego!!!!!

      Why is everyone making a big deal about this? She never said the writing sucked. She said that she didn't get the material that warranted an emmy. When you are a supporting character, you don't put yourself in the running for the lead character prize. It sounds like common sense to me, but then again common sense isn't so common.

      I like her as an actress and I'll continue to see her movies but I don't think that she made the right choice in letting the public know that she chose not to participate in the Emmys. She had to realize that her statement does sound ungrateful and rude. She also has a history of "biting the hand that feeds her" with her comment about Knocked Up, which launched her movie career. I think she needs to be counseled on what is acceptable to say in public.

      That doesnt change shiiittt…Shes still a little hooker and the reason why is EVERYTHING she does, she disses. Bitch, you would be NOTHING w.o these shows so go cash your check and keep your mouth shut!. I can never look at her the same way since i heard how shes disses Knocked Up and now Greys! UGH GROSS> I would love it if she could never get work AGAIN!

      Im waiting to see what she has to say about 27 Dresses!

      All I think she meant by saying that she wasn't going to submit her name this year for nomination is that she didn't believe she had a good enough reason to do it…save her spot for someone else who is more deserving this time around. The only reason she said anything was probably because people automatically assumed that since she won the prior year, she'd be in there. Maybe she's trying to make a statement that not everyone thinks every single thing they do is brilliant.

      I think she is fabulous! I also find it refreshing that she declined - with SO many in this town whoring themselves out for absolutely no reason. It is funny that integrity and taking pride in one's work has now been deemed 'ungrateful'. More power to Katherine!

      she should have kept her mouth shut

      I am so sick of this plain looking b*tch I could puke. What is so special about her but her bleached hair?

      K has integrity, I'm glad someone who actually knows how it works stuck up for her. This is why we all watch the awards shows and shake our heads saying why was she/he nominated? When someone goes against the promo and recognizes they have no business being nominated based on the work, bless them to clear the way for actors who have had a really phenominal season. It's called best for a reason and bless her for having the integrity to say others were better and get out of the way of the Hollywood ego factory. I like her even more and admire her stance.

      126

      Yes, she's an ingrate.
      It seems that fame and fortune has gone to her head and has given her an inflated value of self!
      She's not nearly as gorgeous or as talented as she thinks she is. I predict a shorter acting career for her.

      cant stand her. she's a fake fat girl who pukes and smokes.

      128

      It's not that she didn't submit her name for an emmy it's the fact that she basically slapped her writers in the face with her comment and is being a complete B*tch about a show that made her famous. But this is Katherine Heigl she does it with anything that gives her fame…after she get it she shits all over the thing that helped her get known. I say cut her from the show!!!!

      don't like her since her fat mouth spoke against Isiah Washington (the show's real talent)

      What I don't understand is how people think she is beautiful . . . perhaps in a way that they think their dogs are beautiful? But . . . still an ugly ingrate in my book! Plus, she can't act! She is the same in EVERYTHING. UGLY, UGLY, BEAST.

      Still an ungrateful bitch. Im so sick of her crap, she should just shut the fuck up and be grateful for what grey's anatomy has done for her.
