I watched the first 5 of Grey's...Seriously, you oughta be kidding me! I am never gonna believe a word that comes out of Shonda's mouth again..
Summer Glau for best actress and Terminator for best drama?! You've got to be kidding me. The tubey voters have no taste. And i've always liked Helen Hunt, it'd be good to see more of her on screen.
Well done Summer Glau :)
Summer Glau is my favorite actress so congratulation.
Love Helen Hunt, though her latest movie - Then She Found Me - was terrible.
Wow. What a dramatic opening for <em>Grey's</em> this season. I can't wait!
I love Helen Hunt, and hope that she's a good fit for the role -- her energy's a bit more wry/witty than Tierney's.
Summer Glau for best actress!!! She so deserves it! She rocks!
congrats to tina fey
Summer Glau for best actress? Is this opposite day?
