Britney Spears is not on the Top 11 list of semifinalists for best guest actress in a comedy series
Alas, Britney Spears was not officially nominated for an Emmy for her guest roles on “How I Met Your Mother”.
Troubled pop-princess actually earned a few decent reviews for her performance as a receptionist in a doctor’s office, including the New York Daily News, which said Ч with no intent of snarkiness: “Spears proved she can act every bit as well as she can sing.” TV Guide critic Matt Roush said Britney was “harmless and (dare I say) kind of cute” in the role, but “Scrubs” star Sarah Chalke Ч who portrayed Britney’s boss Ч “walked away with the episode.” However, Chalke failed to make this Emmy Top 10 list too.
TOP 11 SEMIFINALISTS: GUEST ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES:
Polly Bergen, “Desperate Housewives” (”Distant Past”)
Edie Falco, “30 Rock” (”Episode 210″)
Vivica A. Fox, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (”The Rat Dog”)
Kathryn Joosten, “Desperate Housewives” (”Welcome to Kanagawa”)
Annie Potts, “Ugly Betty” (”Zero Worship”)
Annie Potts, “30 Rock” (”Rosemary’s Baby”)
Shirley Knight, “Desperate Housewives” (”If There’s Anything I Can’t Stand”)
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”)
Elaine Stritch, “30 Rock” (”LudaChristmas”)
Maybe Brit will re-appear next season and have a shot at that Emmy next time!
