Emmy Joy: 'Sopranos' Stars Hope to Go Out With a Bang; Katherine Heigl in Shock

With a total of 15 nominations, “The Sopranos” swept the 59th Emmy Award nominations this year and is hoping to go out in true Soprano style – with a bang.

“Because it's our last season, to go out with that kind of attention and respect from the industry is good,” said Michael Imperioli, who played Christopher Moltisanti. “I’m happy – it’s always a good thing!”

But standing in the way of TV’s biggest mob family are TV’s best doctors, lawyers, crime fighters and even office managers.

Hot on “The Sopranos’” heels with 10 nominations are the doctors from “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Real life best friends Katharine Heigl and T.R. Knight had a slumber party in anticipation of this morning’s announcement, and when the moment came – they were speechless!

“I think the first 20 to 30 minutes was just, like, shock!” said Katharine.

But T.R. Knight had a little fun Katherine, teasing her about spending the night together.

“She takes advantage of me while I’m sleeping!” he joked.

All joking aside, T.R.’s big nomination was a sort of vindication for him after a tense season at the center of the Isaiah Washington scandal.

For Katharine, it was one more incredible moment in a year that’s already seen her become a breakout big-screen star in “Knocked Up” and a fiancée.

Joining them in their Emmy celebration are “Grey’s” stars Sanda Oh and Chandra Wilson. Their only competition will be Lorraine Bracco and Aida Turturro from “The Sopranos.”

Thanks to A&E, I got to watch reruns of the Sopranos. We are all glued to our set on Monday & Wednesday nights. They are the BEST and deserve the Emmy. The others are good but don’t compare with the Sopranos.

FINALLY THE BEST BEST ACTORS ON GREYS ARE BEING HONORED. T.R. AND KATHRINE DESERVE THIS MORE THAN ANYONE ON THE SHOW. THEY ARE THE REASON I WATCH THE SHOW. IF T.R. HAD LEFT THE SHOW FOR ANY REASON I AND MILLONS OF OTHERS WOULD HAVE LEFT THE SHOW AND WATCH IT DROWN. BUT I AM EXCITED FOR THE NEW SEASON W/ A BETTER CAST THE STORIES HAVE TO BE GREAT AGAIN. BRAVO FOR T.R. AND KATHRINE AND EVERYONE ON THE “NEW” G.A. CONGRATES TO SHONDA, HERES LOOKING FOR A WONDERFUL NEW SEASON.

CONGRATES TO ALL ON GREYS ANATOMY.

EXTRA YOU NEED TO LET THE WASHINGTON DEBOGGLE MESS GO. IT IS OLD NEWS. IW WAS WRONG FROM DAY ONE AND HE KNOWS IT TO THIS DAY. HE WAS WRONG AND WE ALL KNOW IT. LET IT GO. IT IS ALSO WRONG THAT HE CAN GIVE HIS SIDE OVER AND OVER BUT NO ONE ELSE IS ALLOWED TO W/O LOSING THEIR JOBS. THAT IS WHY HE IS ON THE AIR SO MUCH NOW. HE KNOWS HE WON’T GET ANY CONTRIDICITION FROM THE OTHERSIDE WITH THE TRUTH. HE IS A CHICKEN AND SHOULD BE IGNORED.
