Hugh Laurie Talks About Emmy Nominations
Bibbet sent me the link to a very cute article about Hugh Laurie (Thanks, Bibbet!). Ray Richmond exchanged emails with Hugh and asked him about the upcoming Emmy season. Here is an excerpt from the exchange:
RR: “I’m a bit confused. How does “House” get an Emmy nomination for drama series…while you personally do not? You ARE House. To my mind, it was a bit like honoring the meal while ignoring the chef who cooked it. Did you feel this way, or did you not have the time and energy to become properly incensed?”
Hugh Laurie: “I’m greatly flattered by your analogy, but I’m not sure it’s quite right. (Executive producer) David Shore is really the chef, (executive producer) Katie Jacobs is the Maitre D’, and I am merely the waiter. 15% is considered normal.”
RR: “Did receiving an Emmy nomination for series notably energize the “House” staff? Is there now a swagger in everyone’s stride?”
Laurie: “Swaggering is actually forbidden on the set. Something to do with insurance. But I think everyone was pleased and proud to be nominated. I hope so anyway. A lot of people work incredibly hard on the show and it’s nice to be recognized for it.”
