Almost 20 years later, Katherine Heigl still has to explain that Grey’s Anatomy Emmys scandal

Katherine Heigl thinks the 'maelstrom' around not submitting for the 2008 Emmys was 'unnecessary'

In the early 2000s, Katherine Heigl developed that most dreaded reputation for any female actor—she was “difficult.” This narrative sprung up around a few high-profile events: a difficult contract negotiation with ABC; describing her own movie, Knocked Up , as “a little sexist”; calling out Grey’s Anatomy for its “cruel and mean” working schedule; and pulling herself out of contention for the 2008 Emmys .

“I should have said, ‘Oh, I forgot ,’ because it created such a maelstrom that was so unnecessary, and it really was.” Nevertheless, she stands by her decision not to submit. “I was kind of trying to make a bit of a snarky point about my material that year, but I was also just not feeling my material. I didn’t think I had anything that warranted even the consideration for a nomination. I just wasn’t proud of my work,” Heigl said.
