I know. I hadn’t ever heard of an EWwy Award either. But it’s a new one given by Entertainment Weekly, thus the EWwy. They know that many of us feel that our favorite actors have done amazing work on their shows for many years, but have never been given an Emmy. They fell it’s time to acknowledge them with an EWwy instead.

There are lots of nominations, but the reason I’m posting this about it is that (finally!) William Petersen, who brilliantly played Gil Grissom on CSI: Vegas for nearly nine years is nominated for an award. I hope you’ll go make your voices heard in support of William winning. The site with all the niminees is here. And these are the nominations in William’s category:

Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series

• Josh Holloway (Lost)
• Michael Chiklis (The Shield)
• Denis Leary (Rescue Me)
• Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights)
• William Petersen (CSI)
• Scott Grimes (ER)
• David Boreanaz (Bones)

With all the success of the three CSI series, it’s amazing that none of the shows or their main characters have gotten Emmy Awards. What’s up with that?

The good news is that some of the fantastic folks behind the scenes are nominated for Emmys this year, including the makeup for that episode of CSI: Vegas that did a trbute to Battlestar Gallactica, A Space Oddity. CSI: NY guest star Ed Asner is also nominated for his performance in Yarzeit, the episode about Nazi war criminals.

This year, the usual suspects got a lot of Emmy attention. But we have to wait for the Emmy Awards Show to air on CBS on September 20 to find out who wins. Here’s the one nominations received by CSI shows:

Outstanding Guest Actor In A Drama Series

• CSI: NY – Yahrzeit – Edward Asner, as Abraham Klein
• Damages – They Had to Tweeze That Out of My Kidney – Ted Danson, as Arthur Frobisher
• Dexter – Go Your Own Way – Jimmy Smits, as Miguel Prado
• ER – And In The End – Ernest Borgnine, as Paul Manning
• Rescue Me – Sheila – Michael J. Fox, as Dwight

Outstanding Cinematography For A One Hour Series

• Breaking Bad – ABQ
• CSI: Crime Scene Investigation – For Warrick
• Life On Mars – Out Here In The Fields
• Mad Men – The New Girl
• The Tudors – Episode 303

• Grey Gardens
  Grey’s Anatomy – Stand By Me
• Little Britain USA – 105

This year, CSI: Vegas, CSI: Miami & House MD will go head to head for the title. The nominations were chosen by the Producers’ Guld of America and one of them will bring home the title this year. I’ll keep you posted.

The fest has had to develop a new identity since it abandoned its market in 2001. CEO David Tomatis said Tuesday that it now serves as a networking event for producers and talent; a platform for international productions in its six competitive sections; and an opportunity for some 350 invited journos, mostly from Europe, to meet U.S. talent.

As a fan of all three of the CSI series, I see it as a 2 out of 3 chance of winning. Those are great odds!!

And nearly all of his fellow CSI: Vegas co-stars were there to celebrate the occasion with him. I don’t see Lauren Lee Smith, Wallace Langham, Paul Guilfoyle or Gary Dourdan, But Robert David Hall, David Berman, Liz Vassey, George Eads, Jorja Fox, Eric Szmanda, Marg Helgenberger and Archie Kao all were there.

Here are some cute photos of them at the event, including one where Petersen dusted the star for fingerprints! LOL!

ABC has announced a very interesting pairing of actors to present an Emmy Award together. William Petersen who plays CSI: Vegas’ Gil Grissom will present alongside the show’s newest cast member, Laurence Fishburne. I like it that they will probably make a joke or two about one replacing the other or one leaving so the other will have to step in….

Be sure to watch the Primetime Emmys on Sunday, September 21 on ABC for both of them on stage together.
