David Blue Considered For An Emmy? Awesome!

After an absolutely awesome shout out from his blog, a little birdie told me that ABC considers David Blue an Emmy-worthy guest star.

Update: Here’s the submissions from ABC for Ugly Betty

Ugly Betty (David Blue – “A League of Their Own”)
Ugly Betty (John Cho – “A League of Their Own”)
Ugly Betty (Victor Garber – “Grin and Bear It”)
Ugly Betty (Freddy Rodriguez – “Bananas for Betty”)
Ugly Betty (James Van Der Beek – “Grin and Bear It”)
Ugly Betty (Mo’Nique – “I See Me, ICU”)
Ugly Betty (Annie Potts – “Zero Worship”)
Ugly Betty (Marlo Thomas – “Something Wicked This Way Comes”)
Ugly Betty (Lorraine Toussaint – “How Betty Got Her Grieve Back”)
Ugly Betty (Gabrielle Union – “A Thousand Words by Friday”)

(Hat tip: Sarah)

As seen on this blog, Ugly Betty has seen some incredible guest star appearances (although I’d really say that IMHO, only Blue, Gabrielle Union, and Mo’nique had appearances that were Emmy worthy – Mo’nique, just because she made me laugh so hard!).

Unless Freddy Rodriguez is considered a ‘guest star’ on the show; if so, he should be considered as well.  OK, one more I’d add: Jayma Mays.

But, if the academy is seriously considering Britney Spears, and would have considered Lindsay Lohan had she not withdrawn her name from consideration, then why not one of the many Ugly Betty guest stars?

Hopefully, Blue will be added as ‘recurring’ next year (would that fall under ‘Best Supporting Actor – Comedy’?)  In any event, we’ll have to see if Blue makes it through the committee to a nomination.

Nevertheless, congratulations are in order for David Blue!

  1. Here is a link to the submissions for consideration for The Emmy Ballot–

    And heck yes, Freddy Rodriguez IS on there as a possibility to make the ballot.

  2. But that’s not to say I don’t think David Blue was absolutely fantastic as Cliff on Ugly Betty. I’m hoping for *LOTS* more Cliff in S3.

    And John Cho is up for consideration as well.

    Hey guys. Thanks SO much for the support, it really is wildly appreciated. Though if you wouldn’t mind not quoting my blog directly, I’d appreciate it. :/ I don’t want ABC thinking I blame them for not putting a picture or am ungrateful in any way. (Or that I’m “campaigning” or anything.) THANKS!

    David …after further review…

    [looks around with mock puzzlement] Quote… What Quote?

    ;)

    Thanks to Sarah for posting the link to the list.

  5. No problem. I gotta say, I’m pulling for Lorraine Toussaint in the female category. She was great (and often hilarious!) as Yoga.

  6. Turtle says:

    I love Freddy Rodriguez, but I don’t think that was the right episode to submit.

  7. Nena says:

    I agree with you Turtle – I think they shoud’ve submitted “Betty’s Wait Problem”.
