'CSI' & Helgenberger Generate Emmy Buzz

CSI Files

Captain
Nomination ballots for this year's Emmy Awards will be mailed out next week, and producer <font color=yellow>Carol Mendelshohn</font> revealed, this could be CSI's year.

"I don't believe our show's voice has ever been stronger," Mendelsohn told the Hollywood Reporter. "But there are so many great shows you have to compete with now. It's an exciting time to be a fan of dramas on TV, but by the same token it makes winning that much tougher."

CSI has been nominated for Best Drama Series three years in a row, but has lost to NBC's The West Wing every time. While the Hollywood Reporter theorized that the <font color=yellow>Quentin Tarantino</font> directed "Grave Danger" could get CSI the Emmy win, the show has strong competition from new Emmy contenders, such as Lost and Deadwood.

But the Emmy Buzz isn't exclusive to CSI. <font color=yellow>Marg Helgenberger</font> is also on The Hollywood Reporter's list of possible nominees for the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category. The actress has been twice nominated for her portrayal of Catherine Willows, but has never walked home with a statuette.

Helgenberger won a People's Choice Award for Favorite Female Television Star this year, and shared a statuette with her co-stars at the Screen Actor's Guild Award. Although Helgenberger has never received an Emmy win for her portrayal of Catherine Willows, she walked home with a statuette in 1990 for her role on China Beach.

The Emmy nominations will be announced on July 14th, while the ceremony will take place on September 18th. For an extensive coverage of the nomination process, visit the Hollywood Reporter.<center></center>
 
Does Carol Mendelshohn even remember that there are other actors on CSI? Her Marg Helgenberger/Catherine Willows obsession is really getting tiring.

The best performances this year on CSI were Jorja Fox in "Nesting Dolls" and George Eads in "Grave Danger." Those are the performances that should be recognized. NOT that overblown slo-mo camera love fest that was "Weeping Willows."
 
Mendelshon was talking about the show, not Marg. The Hollywood Reporter is the one spreading Emmy buzz regarding Marg.
 
WOW, I can't believe the hatre that is shown toward Marg. She is just doing her job like everyone else.

And Midnight tiptoes, you are right it was the report that was talking about the Emmy buzz.
 
I love them all and there just isn't enough time in an hour to do any of them justice!!!!
 
i`m sure EVERYONE wants their favorite actor/actress on CSI to get an award....but it's the emmy people that are the ones making the nominations.

GOOD FOR MARG!!! congrats!!! especially to the cast of CSI! they SOOOOO better win this year!!!

Why is it that I ALWAYS know which character's fanbase the hate for Catherine/Marg generates from? THAT'S WHAT IS TIRING! :mad:

LADY HEATHER: Don't take this the wrong way, but I think you've got everything
it takes to make a great Dominatrix.

CATHERINE: I take that as a compliment.
 
I think S5 has been Marg´s weakest so far (mainly due to the cosmetic enhancements). I still think she´s a good actress, but others on the show have surpassed her lately.

Both GE and JF did their best performances ever S5. For many fans I think it can be frustrating that only one of the actors seem to get all the recognition. I for one hope Jorja gets nominated for NHI or Committed and GE gets it for GD.
 
I agree, I think S5 was the weakest for MH as well.

But let's keep in mind, that though we may have all our personal favorites for winning the emmy, ANYONE winning from CSI actually is always good for the show.
