Britney Spears Snubbed By Emmys

Access Hollywood - July 2, 2008 11:27 PM PDT

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Well, at least they can't take away her Grammy.

Following her guest-starring stint on CBS' "How I Met Your Mother," Britney Spears has been left off of the list of Emmy's 11 semifinalists in the category of Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Despite earning largely rave reviews for her turn as Abby the receptionist on the hit sitcom, Brit couldn't crack the top 11, although she was one of 41 actresses to be considered for a nomination.

However, Britney wasn't the only guest-starring celeb to get the snub.

Mary-Kate Olsen, who portrayed a Bible-thumping pothead in Showtime's "Weeds," was also left off the list, as was Alyssa Milano, who showed up on NBC's "My Name Is Earl" during the season.

In fact, Britney wasn't even the lone "HIMYM" guest star to be left off the list - "Scrubs" star Sarah Chalke (who played Britney's boss on the show) also failed to crack Emmy's top 11 in the category.

So who did make the cut?

Funnygal Sarah Silverman is one step closer to an Emmy nod, earning a spot in the top 11 for her guest spot on "Monk."

The same goes for Edie Falco, Carrie Fisher and last year's winner in the category, Elaine Stritch, all of whom have made the list following appearances on NBC's "30 Rock."

Vivica A. Fox's hopes for an Emmy are still alive on the heels of her performance in the HBO laugher "Curb Your Enthusiasm." And Amy Ryan (who burst onto the big screen in Ben Affleck's "Gone Baby Gone" in 2007) turned a guest trip to Dunder Mifflin into a shot at an Emmy after her role in "The Office."

With Britney and Mary-Kate being left out in the Emmy cold, it's very likely Lindsay Lohan saved herself some time by opting not to submit her name for consideration following her stint on "Ugly Betty."

The top 11 will be further whittled down before the final nominees are announced.

The complete list of Semifinalists for Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series are:

-Polly Bergen, "Desperate Housewives" ("Distant Past")
-Shirley Knight, "Desperate Housewives" ("If There's Anything I Can't -Stand")
-Kathryn Joosten, "Desperate Housewives" ("Welcome to Kanagawa")
-Annie Potts, "Ugly Betty" ("Zero Worship")
-Elaine Stritch, "30 Rock" ("LudaChristmas")
-Carrie Fisher, "30 Rock" ("Rosemary's Baby")
-Edie Falco, "30 Rock" ("Episode 210")
-Jane Lynch, "Two and a Half Men" ("Rough Night in Hump Junction")
-Amy Ryan, "The Office" ("Goodbye Toby")
-Sarah Silverman, "Monk" ("Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan")
-Vivica A. Fox, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" ("The Rat Dog")

    Love HIMYM! I thought Brit did a nice job on the episodes she was on. Hopefully we'll see more of her next season. An emmy just wasn't in her cards this year.

    Brit needs to be snubbed. Now if her stupid fans would just grow a brain and do the same thing...she might just GO AWAY and finally be a real mom to her kids.

  • I have to be honest here. It's so stupid to have people defend a celebrity; a complete person that you do not know for anything. How can someone be so stupid as to defend someone that has a certain reputation for ignorant actions that she has taken w/her life? How can one defend someone that they know nothing about. People choose their actions willingly. I'm sure she doesn'

    I vote for Vivica. She did a great job on CYE. As for comedies that show was one of the funniest shows of all time. Ms./Mrs. Fox gets my nod.
