Katherine Heigl set the record straight on rumors that she turned down an Emmy nomination for her role on “Grey’s Anatomy.”
In 2008, Heigl famously took herself out of the running for an Emmy nomination for playing Izzie Stevens on the popular medical drama. Sixteen years later, Heigl appeared on the June 28 episode of Shannen Doherty’s podcast “Let’s Be Clear.” When Doherty noted that she didn’t know of anyone in the industry who had turned down an Emmy nomination in their career, Heigl clarified that she “didn’t turn it down.” “You have to submit yourself,” she explained.
“I wasn’t trying to be a d---.” In 2008, Heigl shared her reasoning at the time in a statement, saying, “I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention.” “In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials,” the statement continued.
