Emmy picks: Lead Actress, comedy

By TV.com Staff, Jun 03, 2009

The stupidest and most tired stereotype in comedy is that women aren't funny. Try telling that to the five ladies we think should be nominated for an Emmy--they keep us laughing in a world that is supposedly dominated by the boys. read more

Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Portia de Rossi: (on her marriage to Ellen DeGeneres) Marriage is a different way of being together. There's a peace to (being married) and a sense of togetherness that we just didn't have before. And I didn't even realize it would change as much as it has, but it's so lovely. It's legal, and it's real, so there's that kind of formality to it that makes it very valid.
  Edit Share Hide
- Portia de Rossi: (on the possibility of her and Ellen DeGeneres having children) I don't know if it's our immediate future. It's something we talk about every few months.
  Edit Share Hide
- Portia de Rossi: (on filming a lesbian sex scene with Joely Richardson in " Nip/Tuck") I hate gratuitous sex scenes. I'm a prude. I related to Joely's character so much more than my own. She was having a really hard time with her sexuality, and it was difficult for her to tell people she was gay. To hear her struggle like that was very emotional for me.
