Congratulations to the Cast of The Normal Heart

[elrhiarhodan]

Emmy Nominations are out!

The Normal Heart has been nominated for Best Movie, and much of the cast is up for the honors, too.

Sadly, SHAMEFULLY, the movie, The Normal Heart, was not nominated for Best Movie or Mini-Series, (ETA: My apologies. The list I was looking at had a mistake - the section was titled "Best Movie or Miniseries". The list was also incomplete, as it did not include "Best Movies")

Yay for all of them :D

It was nominated...

[clemgo3165.livejournal.com]

They split the categories this year and had a best miniseries AND a best movie. TNH was nominated in the best movie category. I watched them live this morning and see this link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/07/10/full-list-of-2014-emmy-awards-nominees/ Would have been a crime had they not gotten the nod. And Julia Roberts got a nomination in best supporting actress.

Re: It was nominated...

[elrhiarhodan]

Thanks - the information is screwed up on many websites. One even had Alfred Molina nominated for "Return to Zero"

I've updated the entry with the complete list from the Emmy website itself.

Re: It was nominated...

[elrhiarhodan]

Thanks - I've corrected the entry.

[pooh-collector.livejournal.com]

You scared me there for a moment. I couldn't imagine that TNH wasn't nominated for Best Movie.

And, just WOW on the Best Supporting Actor nominations!

My fingers are crossed for Mark and Matty.

[elrhiarhodan]

I couldn't either - I found the idea incomprehensible! But then I checked the Emmy website and saw that the site I'd looked at (CBS, thank you NOT!) had it wrong!

[clemgo3165.livejournal.com]

ABC got it wrong too. Had to go back to the WaPo to make sure I hadn't dreamed it.

[elrhiarhodan]

I realized that something was wrong when I looked at the list of nominees and saw that they were all miniseries, not a single movie amongst them.

That's when I went to the source!

[sapphire2309]

I was wondering how they could nominate five of the movie's actors and not the movie itself, LOL.

Fingers crossed for Matt and the movie!

(Sadly, I wasn't moved by Mark Ruffalo's performance. Jim Parsons did a fabulous job, though.)

[elrhiarhodan]

I was kind of surprised that Julia Roberts was snubbed.

[scarym1.livejournal.com]

Julie was nominated as Best Supporting Actress in a Mini Series or Movie.

[elrhiarhodan]

Hmmm - am I going blind?

[elrhiarhodan]

My bad - I was looking at Best Actress, not Best Supporting Actress - which doesn't make sense.

[sapphire2309]

Okay, make that six of the movie's actors. Julia Roberts was fabulous too! :D

[pooh-collector.livejournal.com]

I'm not really surprised by that. While her role was critical and she had one of the most moving scenes in the film, her total screen time was low compared most lead roles. At least that's my guess as to why they submitted her for Supporting and not Lead.

[doctor-fangeek.livejournal.com]

Pretty much the entire cast not named Mark Ruffalo are supporting characters. Also, what Pooh said. :-)

[elrhiarhodan]

Yeah, I guess.

[clemgo3165.livejournal.com]

I was moved by Ruffalo's performance, I thought he did a good job with the role and I really felt his desperation toward the end of Felix's life. But I was particularly moved by Jim Parsons eulogy - for me, that was the most impactful moment of the movie.

[sapphire2309]

I didn't feel Mark Ruffalo too well. Maybe it's because I have this thing where raised voices really freak me out, but I felt more battered than moved by Mark Ruffalo's performance. It only struck one single tone throughout. His last scene was good, and in the food fight scene, despite the yelling, I felt him, but for most of the rest of the movie, I was trying really hard to tune him out.

Jim Parsons eulogy was brilliant. Though the last scenes, of him just taking out the Rolodex cards and putting them in a drawer, that hit me the hardest.

[elrhiarhodan]

I really felt Mark's anger - but I think the problem is that the role itself is more of a screed in human form than a living, breathing person.

I thought Mark's performance really humanized the role.

But Jim, yeah. Seriously.

[embroiderama]

I really felt Mark's anger - but I think the problem is that the role itself is more of a screed in human form than a living, breathing person.

I thought Mark's performance really humanized the role.

Yeah, definitely! Much like Matt's performance really filled out Felix's character.

[elrhiarhodan]

I love your icon - the casting of Ned was soooo appropriate at that level.

[embroiderama]

It so was! Before Avengers, I really liked Mark but didn't know how well I could see him as Ned, but after Avengers...oh yeah. And I snagged this icon back then because I knew I'd be able to use it for Normal Heart as well. LOL

[elrhiarhodan]

I have to wonder if his portrayal of Bruce Banner had any influence at all in his casting as Ned.

I mean, come on - totally redic, but two roles that are famous for their anger quotient?

[embroiderama]

But he was cast as Bruce well before Avengers came out, at least I'm fairly sure he was. OTOH, somebody could have seen his performance during production. It IS weird, especially since before Avengers he was generally known for playing mellow dudes.

[kanarek13]

Yay for all of them :D

[elrhiarhodan]

I am now sorry I won't have a chance to congratulate Matt. If you happen to see him again...

[kanarek13]

I don't have any more set stalking power left in me. Plus I think now Matty is gonna have a lot of press stuff to do so he will be busy. Poor baby, with being sick and all. But this is a great news and I just want him to win so much :)

[elrhiarhodan]

Yup - the more I think about it, the strong I feel that he probably wouldn't have come over to do the meet-and-greet. And the press would have been all over the place, meaning that Tim wouldn't have come over, either.

[scarym1.livejournal.com]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so excited to see that TNH & Matt were nominated. From the looks of it I think the whole cast was nominated. : )

[elrhiarhodan]

Julia Roberts was snubbed. Which kind of astounds me.

ETA - Julia Roberts was nominated - but for Best Supporting Actress.

[eldorah.livejournal.com]

Squee!!!!! So happy for Matty and the cast of TNH!! Although, I agree it is strange Julia Roberts was nominated...

[elrhiarhodan]

I can't wrap my head around the "supporting" part of the nomination. Yes, Ned Weeks is the lead male role, but there wasn't another female role in the play.

Huh, just glad to be able to make that correction.

(PS - wonderful meeting you yesterday)

[eldorah.livejournal.com]

Oh! Awesome to see that she was at least nominated! Can't quite understand "supporting" either, but, so happy to see her name now!

And, yesyesyesyes!! I was just about to shoot you a PM saying the same - it was fantastic meeting you! So happy that we ended up in the same place! =D

[maiac.livejournal.com]

It says a lot that so many of the actors were nominated. It's tough, though, that most of them are up against each other in the same category.

[elrhiarhodan]

I know - my heart sort of sank when I saw all four names, but Matt was truly outstanding.

[ladyrose42.livejournal.com]

Larry Kramer was also nominated as Best Writer

[elrhiarhodan]

Yup - the entry has been updated to include all of the nominations - including Ryan Murphy as best director.

[doctor-fangeek.livejournal.com]

And also Ryan Murphy, for directing. :-)

[elrhiarhodan]

I've updated the entry with the complete list of all nominations, this time from the source - the Emmy website.

It's all screwed up elsewhere - E! has Alfred Molina nominated for "Return to Zero".

[ultracape.livejournal.com]

I think this is the first time Matt was nominated for an Emmy. He did win the Critics Choice TV Award for Best Supporting Actor for The Normal Heart.

[elrhiarhodan]

I think so, too. Pity this didn't come out yesterday. I went set stalking and could have congratulated him in person.

[embroiderama]

Yay! I'm so glad to see them all nominated!

The hairstyling nomination makes me smile--all that fluffy 80s hair.

[elrhiarhodan]

I know! The hair, the clothes...the Members Only jackets and the acid-washed jeans.

The period details that you don't think about until you see them.

[palombaggia.livejournal.com]

Yay! So happy for all of the cast!
I hope Matt and Mark!
I thought these two were really credible as a couple..
Elr did you see Matt on set?
How is he?
Lots of hugs to you

Emmy rant

[jo1968.livejournal.com]

How can a movie win Best Movie and yet NONE of the cast win?!? Seriously, even with 4 out of 6 nominations for Best Supporting Actor, nothing! GAHHHHH!!

Re: Emmy rant

[elrhiarhodan]

Believe me, I can't understand it either. My head is pounding from the rage.

[catcrazy5.livejournal.com]

I was really bummed that Matt did not win. That was such a fantastic performance.
