KH is totally overrated. She can cry on command but that doesn't make her a great actress. She's melodramatic and really lacks nuance, but I do admit she's a crowd-pleaser. Sigh.
Chandra and Sandra have both been strong and consistent for five seasons, as others have said, but the Academy of TV Arts & Sciences (the body of people who votes for the Emmys) tends to go for characters with harrowing storylines, and unfortunately KH was the only one given such material this season. The good news is that, despite Chandra and Sandra's multiple nominations already, the academy usually doesn't mind letting certain shows/actors dominate categories for several years. Throw Sara into the mix and we've got a lot of possibilities--she's a Tony Award winner, and the academy also likes to give nominations to people who already hold other honors.
I was thrilled to see Ellen finally get comfortable with her character this season. She was particularly brilliant in the death row story arc--

About Katherine Heigl... The girl is good. No one can argue. I caught myself thinking MANY TIMES this season: "That girl is sooo winning an Emmy". Great actress, really. And it doesn't matter what you think of her, or what she may or may not have done, this is an award that awards great actors. It's not supposed to consider personal traits - if she's modest or not, and so on... And besides, who are we to think ill of someone we don't even know, right?
Anyway, I agree with tvaddict..I hope she wins.

I honestly wish that everyone on the cast of Grey's could win an Emmy. They all really deserve one.
But, let's face reality here.
Whether or not you love her or hate her, Katherine Heigl is an amazing actress. I'm not saying that Ellen, Sandra and Chandra aren't amazing... They are and I love them.
But, as I read somewhere above... I'm not a person cries at sad movies or books or TV shows. Katherine Heigl is one of the few that can. And more than once. When Denny died, the wedding and the season 5 finale... I cried a lot.
I think KH deserves the Emmy, and I hope she wins it.

I think that the entire cast was phenomenal this season. For me, the two who I think most deserve an Emmy are Sandra Oh and Justin Chambers. Sandra is always amazing; this year was no exception. Justin is so underrated, and I think he did star-quality work this season, both in Alex and Izzie's relationship, and in Alex's life as a surgeon. Particularly memorable for me was his scene with Addison during the crossover episode, where he talked about running. Absolutely amazing.

I agree with someone
And with all the rumours about the behaviour of KH: I kinda understand why she didn't want that Emmy. Maybe she just felt like the story was not Emmy worthy and others had a better story and deserved to win. That's only nice right?

I agree that Ellen Pompeo did a good job with the serial killer thing, it is the first time she makes me feel what the character is feeling, she should be recognized for that. But still I believe Katherine Heigl is the best on that show, together with Justin Chambers, they are my favorite and they are the only ones that make me cry or feel what they are feeling, even though I don't think they gave her good material this season, it was too shallow in some ways, she was presented in previous seasons as a good doctor, they let that pass her by and focus too much on her personal life. It gets too carried away from the show's purpose and id they keep down that road with the character stories, they'll end up being another Beverly Hills, The O.C. or Gossip Girl. They should stick to medicine mainly and their personal lives as a plus. Hope to see her again this upcoming season, she is amazing

I agree that Kathryn Heigl is overrated as an actor--always have--Chandra Wilson and Sandra Oh are phenomenal and have been consistent the last five years. I think Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey did a fantastic job this season and should be nominated; but I think the most improved actor and should be nominated is Justin Chambers.
May 19th, 2009 3:15 PM
ELLEN IS THE BEST!!!
AND VERY MODEST, NOT LIKE HEIGL.
May 19th, 2009 1:56 PM
Oh yes, Ellen is so Emmy-worthy. I was really surprised that she didn't get any nomination at all for season 4, because she kicked ass in those therapy scenes! And this year she's been awesome too. And Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson should definitely get noms. Brilliant work this season. And Patrick Dempsey, he did a great job showing Derek's dark&twisty side. Justin Chanbers has done great too. As for Katherine Heigl, seriously? I can't help but be laughing if she doesn't get any recognition. Her ego is way too big and I think she is very overrated.
May 19th, 2009 1:22 PM
I have to say that I would LAUGH if Katherine didn't make the cut.
May 19th, 2009 12:20 PM
We'll have to vote for Ellen on the People's Choice awards. The Emmy's and Golden Globes we can't vote for,:((
May 19th, 2009 12:16 PM
I think the work that Justin did as Alex is far more worthy of an award and last year he was undeservedly overlooked, as was Ellen. Ellen's work throughout the season has consistently worthy of an Emmy. I just don't feel KH is deservig of another award

I totally agree ELLEN&PATRAIT 'll win they have a real emotion love,when we watch them I fell they are the real loving couple! I love them.

Until this season, I didn't like Ellen's acting. Her manner of speaking annoyed be a little bit and her character was too emotionally "pale" for me. But she definitely grew on me this season, I think she matured as an actress and her character became more realistic to me. The scene with the chief ('you were just a little girl and no one stood up for you') was beautifully acted and I think Ellen deserves an Emmy for this season.
Kathrine Heigl, regardless of the rumours about her behaviour, etc. is a really good actress. Especially in all of the heart-breaking scenes, she's been flawless.
I like Sandra Oh but I think her character has not been developed well enough yet. I'd like the writers to get slightly deeper into her psychology, beyond the funny remarks and love for Owen. I guess she'll get an emmy-worth material next season. While Izzie is kind of a "whole" character (probably most of the viewers feel like they know her well), Christina remains a mystery. I can't wait to l

I agree ELLEN&PATRICK 'll win.They are the leader of Grey's they're acting emotionly like real in love. I love them. I also hope Katherin& TR will stay.
May 19th, 2009 8:13 AM
I agree , ellen shud win !!
She is rilli gr8 ... And I rilli hope that katherin and TR will stay on the show ... I also hope that the show will have many more seasons to come !!
May 19th, 2009 7:24 AM
Of course she's going for the Emmy this year, she whined enough and the writers gave her a decent storyline. Umm didn't realize it was called Stevens Anatomy.
If anyone deserves one it's Sandra Oh or Justin Chambers. They both had an amazing season. Katherine Heigel is overrated.
May 18th, 2009 11:47 PM
i'm with you people! ellen should win for the brilliant acting she did after william's execution. and patrick too, with the dark and twisty woods thing. i agree with McLoveGA: Ellen pompeo lovers unite! Oh, and Chandra deserves an award too, for the "We're all scared!" thing. BUT ELLEN SHOULD WIN AN EMMY! SERIOUSLY. :)
May 18th, 2009 10:37 PM
I would rather see Sara Ramirez get nominated. She can act circles around any other person on the show, in my opinion.

i dont think she deserves this at all. she's wanted out her contract, she went out her way to bash the show and they are going to keep her on for next season..BS she deserves nothing and her character needs to die
May 18th, 2009 10:04 PM
i think ellen is an alright actress but she CANNOT cry worth crap. seriously when she gets all emotional i just don't believe her. katherine heigl or chandra should win, maybe sandra she did great..
May 18th, 2009 9:31 PM
I'm with you all the way....Ellen Pompeo lovers unite!
May 18th, 2009 8:02 PM
ELLEN POMPEO FOR A WELL-DESERVED EMMY!
May 18th, 2009 7:57 PM
I hope Sandra Oh wins the Emmy this year. She has done an amazing work during all season. She has made me cry, laugh, feel Cristina's pain, also feel her happiness... she is amazing.
