Emmys: Allison Janney, Tony Hale, Jeffrey Tambor, and Tituss Burgess Celebrate Their Nominations With Yahoo TV

After the nominees for the 67th Emmy Awards were announced Thursday morning, Yahoo’s live nomination special took a few noteworthy callers.

For the second consecutive year, Allison Janney celebrated double nominations, as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Mom, and Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for Masters of Sex.

“I feel like I’m raising the flag for network television,” Janney said in her call. “[Mom is] a great show, I’m proud to be on it, I’m proud of the issues we deal with. We’re throwing up messy life, and people are loving it and responding to it, and I’m proud of it.”

Janney, who said her Mom daughter, Anna Faris, is the one who called her to give her the good news this morning, also confirmed that she’ll reprise her role as Masters of Sex’s Margaret Scully in a pair of upcoming Season 3 episodes.

If you’re keeping score at home, Janney is now a 10-time Emmy nominee with five wins (four for The West Wing and one for Mom last year).

How excited was Veep Emmy winner Tony Hale to receive his third nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series this morning? Very, and then reality rudely interrupted.

“My wife and I are screaming… and then my daughter comes in, while we were screaming, she’s like, ‘Dad, you gotta take me to camp,’” Hale said when he called in to talk about his latest nod.

The Arrested Development alum, who plays President Selina Meyer’s aide Gary Walsh on Veep, also talked about how he thinks there’s a definite upside for Veep’s real-life government counterparts to their (somewhat) fictional portrayal on the HBO series.

“For somebody who works in D.C., I think it’s probably encouraging when a show kinda comes out there and shows that, ‘Yeah, these people are human. They get insecure, they freak out, they scream at people,’” Hale said. “They probably look at each other sometimes and go, ‘I don’t know what the hell to do. Do you know what to do?’ I think there’s something affirming about that.”

The Amazon original series Transparent already nabbed Golden Globe statues for Best Television Series – Comedy or Musical and best actor Jeffrey Tambor, but Jill Soloway, the creator of the transgender-themed comedy, said the cast and crew are most happy about their role in a very timely and important movement.

“I think we’re so thrilled because we know we’re part of a movement, because we know it’s about something bigger,” she said during her nomination special call-in.

Added Tambor of his hopes that the Emmy recognition will earn the show new viewers, “I always say that we are the little engine that could. So any light on us is devoutly to be wished.”

Tambor, now a seven-time Emmy nominee (with no wins, yet), also confirmed he knew the role of retired college professor Mort/Maura, was a winner as soon as he read the script. “I think I shouted ‘I’m in, I’m in, I’m in!’ 40 or 50 times.”

Tituss Burgess’s performance as Titus Andromedon, the hilarious and endearing roommate of titular Kimmy in Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, was phenomenal, but Burgess said he looked at all the names on the Emmy ballot and was intimidated by the competition.

“To be honest with you, I did not think it was going to happen, and I had made peace with it,” he said during his call.

But the morning definitely went his way, and despite his sadness that co-star Ellie Kemper was snubbed by the Television Academy, Burgess’s first-ever nomination is a clear sign that his first major role — which followed his scene-stealing recurring run as D’Fwan on 30 Rock — has him on Emmy voters’ radars.
