And The Emmy Goes To… Britney Spears!
By fred | June 12, 2008
As unbelievable as this may sound, it is indeed true. Found on the official ballot released by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences to its voters, one of the 41 names for guest appearances is the name of Britney Spears, for her double guest-spot mess on How I Met Your Mother.
Obviously she was terrible and won’t even be considered (right?), but the simple fact that she could be nominated gives me the chill, as well as reminds me of this sick mess that dragged her not once, but twice on CBS hit comedy; And the worst part is that still to this day creators of the show haven’t made it clear she would never ever come back.
Of course, another name on the list for Emmy consideration is the one of the lovely and talented Sarah Chalke, for her performance in the same sitcom, and while I don’t have a clue of who the nominees will actually be, I’m already feeling like rooting for Chalke. She was perfect for the role, her character showed great chemistry with Ted, and quite honestly when reading some of the other names mentioned - such as Sarah Silverman for her spot on Monk (yeah, but no), Mary-Kate Olsen as a religious pot-dealer on Weeds (this was just a big unfunny joke? wasn’t it?), or Alyssa Milano on My Name Is Earl (mostly miss/under-used, while stuck in some comatose plot) - I think we may have a winner, don’t you think ?
