After a completely terrible Emmy night in my opinion (Ryan Seacrest sucked, no one I liked won an award, and the travesty of 30’s Rock winning an Emmy), the only bright spot of the evening was Katherine Heigl winning an Emmy for best supporting actress in a drama series.
You could tell how surprised Heigl was because she mouthed “shit” as her name was being announced. She lightly joked that she hadn’t prepared a speech because “My own mother told me that I didn’t have a shot in hell of winning tonight.” Her whole demeanor was just so sweet, fun, cute, and deserving.
Her portrayal of Izzie Stevens in this season was excellent and deserved an Emmy. I felt that Izzie grew and matured throughout the season, and Heigl had some tough scenes to deal with. She beat out many other wonderful actresses to receive the award and she looked great doing it. She picked out her Zac Posen dress. It was so nice seeing an actress win an award she really earned.
Are you happy that Heigl won an Emmy or did you think someone else should have got one?

Izzie is my least favorite character on Grey’s, but I will admit that Heigl’s character got the best writing this year and she absolutely stepped up to the plate and delivered her best work. The Emmy was well earned.
I am very happy she won! She did a great job in a season where her character faced many challenges. She showed that she is not just a pretty face on the show. I am very happy for her, she deserved it!
