The Submissions Are In

Ladies and gentleman, for your consideration...

The episode submissions for the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards are in. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has submitted the season eight premiere, "Dead Doll", and the CSI half of the crossover with Without a Trace, "Who and What", for consideration. CSI: Miami submitted the two-parter, "All In" and "Ambush". "Right Next Door" was the episode submitted for CSI: New York.

The franchise also made submissions for the acting categories. All three series offered their leading men for consideration. William Petersen (Gil Grissom) was submitted for "Dead Doll", David Caruso (Horatio Caine) for "All In" and Gary Sinise (Mac Taylor) for "The Thing About Heroes". Marg Helgenberger (Catherine Willows) and Emily Procter (Calleigh Duquesne) were submitted in the lead actress category for "A Thousand Days on Earth" and "All In", respectively.

In the supporting actor category, CSI submitted Gary Dourdan (Warrick Brown, "For Gedda"), Paul Guilfoyle (Jim Brass, "Grissom's Divine Comedy", Robert David Hall (Dr Al Robbins, "The Theory of Everything"), Wallace Langham (David Hodges, "You Kill Me") and Eric Szmanda (Greg Sanders, "The Theory of Everything"). George Eads (Nick Stokes) is also listed, but there is no episode specified. In the same category, Miami offered Jonathan Togo (Ryan Wolfe, "Cyber-lebrity"), and New York offered both Carmine Giovinazzo (Danny Messer, "Child's Play") and AJ Buckley (Adam Ross, "Down the Rabbit Hole") for consideration. CSI was the only series to offer a submission for the supporting actress category, submitting Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle) for "Goodbye and Good Luck", her final episode before leaving the show.

In the guest actor and actress categories, CSI submitted Dennis Christopher ("Lying Down with Dogs"), Anthony LaPaglia ("Who and What"), Harold Perrineau ("Go to Hell") and Bonnie Bedelia ("Grissom's Divine Comedy"). Peter James Smith ("To Kill a Predator") and Elizabeth Berkley ("Ambush") were submitted for Miami. CSI: NY didn't submit any actors or actresses in the guest star categories. None of the series submitted episodes for directing or writing.

The current issue of the Emmy Magazine contains a fold-out page for the three CSI series. Each of the shows has its own panel with the words "For your consideration" across the top. Tina Fey is on the cover of the magazine, which is issue #3 for 2008. You can visit The Green Campaign to view the episodes submitted for the franchise ("Dead Doll", "Who and What", "Ambush", "All In" and "Right Next Door"). Please remember that, although these actors and episodes have been submitted for consideration, this does not guarantee that they will be nominated for the awards.

The original list of submitted episodes for the actors and actresses is from The Envelope. Many thanks to Shane for the information and the links.
