Pushing Daisies: The Emmy Campaign is On
Spring and summer usually marks the season for Emmy campaigns. TV Guide actually made up their dream nomination list the other day and had a few notable actors from Pushing Daisies by picking Kristin Chenoweth (Olive), Swoozie Kurtz (Lily) and Chi McBride (Emerson) for Best Supporting Actor or Actress - Comedy.
The awards ceremony is not until September, before the new season begins. But usually, networks, studios, PR agents, and the actors’ managers are keeping very busy with the submissions and campaign.
Would you want to know what the stars of Pushing Daisies have submitted for Emmy consideration?
According to the Gold Derby, a site which keeps track of every awards show there is in Hollywood, here are the submissions:
- For Best Comedy Series: Pushing Daisies “Pie-Lette” and “Bitter Sweets”
- For Best Lead Actor - Comedy: Pushing Daisies Lee Pace in “Pie-lette”
- For Best Lead Actress - Comedy: Pushing Daisies Anna Friel in “Bitter Sweets”
- For Best Supporting Actor - Comedy: Pushing Daisies Chi McBride in “Bitches”
- For Best Supporting Actress Comedy: Pushing Daisies Kristin Chenoweth in “Girth”; Pushing Daisies Ellen Greene in “Smell of Success”; Pushing Daisies Swoosie Kurtz in “Smell of Success”
- For Best Guest Actor - Comedy: Pushing Daisies Paul Reubens
- For Best Guest Actress - Comedy: Pushing Daisies Molly Shannon in “Bitter Sweets”
These submissions will have to be trimmed down by the Emmy Panel and from their they will pick the final list of nominees the judges will based the winners list on.
What do you think are our favorites’ chances? Do you think their people have submitted the right material for consideration? I personally have so much hope on Chi McBride to bag a nomination, or better yet, an Emmy Award.
