And the Petite Emmy Nominees are...

The Prime Time Emmy nominations were announced yesterday. This year, the petite lead acting nominees are:

Comedy:

America Fererra (5'1"), Ugly Betty

Julia Louis-Dreyfuss (5'2 1/2"), The New Adventures of Old Christine

(Tina Fey is listed at 5'4 1/2", so not really petite)

Drama:

Sally Field (5'2"), Sons and Daughters

Holly Hunter (5'2"), Saving Grace

Movie/Miniseries:

Phylicia Rashad (5'4"), A Raisin in the Sun

Judi Dench (5'1"), Cranford

Looks like it's two nominees out of five for each leading actress category. Not too surprised at all. The Emmys will be handed out on September 21.
