Go, Tina!
Tina Fey, the super-talented creative force behind NBC’s clever sitcom 30 Rock, recently landed a nice reward in honor of her terrific turn parodying Republican politician Sarah Palin during numerous skits at her old haunt Saturday Night Live.
On September 12, she received a Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in acknowledgment of her spot-on Palin impersonations. The award marked Fey’s sixth Emmy win, and she also has two additional nominations in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Comedy Series categories for her involvement with 30 Rock.
During her acceptance speech, Fey quipped that her Republican parents “thought the first four sketches were very funny. [But] the last two were, in their words, ‘Enough already.’”
E! Entertainment Television will feature the two-hour 2009 Creative Arts Emmy Awards special on Friday, September 18, at 1pm ET. Also watch the live 61st Primetime Emmys CBS special on Sunday, September 20, at 8pm to see if Fey gets lucky again with her other two 30 Rock nods.
The fourth season of NBC’s 30 Rock premieres Thursday, October 15, at 9:30pm ET.
Congratulations to Tina Fey for winning an Emmy for one of the best impersonations that I have ever seen.
I think this is just fabulous. Thank you Sarah Palin for just being yourself and giving Tina (word for word) her fabulous scripts!
