Allison Janney - Emmy Awards 2004

[alSation81]

that was so awkward for poor Mariska

[MrJMR1985]

She forgot to mention Martin Sheen.

[AcademyAwardsPerson]

That awkward moment when Edie doesn't come up.

[jimboshizz]

She snubbed POTUS!!

[drbayoms]

Was she really the lead actress? Great actress nonetheless!

[HPislegend248]

@drbayoms If she isn't, then who is? Stockard Channing?

[younghoss]

Ohio girl makes good!

[richrnndz2]

She deserved every emmy she won!! And for the sad little ppl below who wrote she didn't, you're all wrong, more ppl should watch this "boring" show, at least you'd have a slight idea of how government works..

[deanriam]

Too many Emmys for her, that's why I rarely take them seriously, they can't mix it up a little, they like some boring show like the West Wing and before you know it, they win the Emmy every year.

[YungReg88]

Now I know who Allison Janney is. Thanks, Family Guy :)

[JohnCronin103]

ridiculous

[CJKpi]

You can see Bartlet himself at 0:56 haha.

[Monamondieu]

Awwww, I DO love the fact that Allison and Stockard Channing are such great mates and the way SC leans forward and gives her a smackeroo the minute AJ's name is mentioned is just gorge!

[kitchournas]

I just love the shock on her face when she hears her name!

[Nicoleshaan]

I just realised she didn't mention Martin Sheen.

[jonnyheysus]

@Nicoleshaan or Rob Lowe

[nascarkraz]

@jonnyheysus RL wasnt there 5th season. He left 4th but yes she forgot MS. Tsk!

[JessicaVictification]

C.J. Cregg <3

[IrishEyes1989]

Right after Allison Janney's name is announced, Stockard Channing leans forward and gives her a kiss. One of the sweetest things ever. I loved the genuine affection between the castmates on The West Wing. And poor Allison, forgetting to mention Martin Sheen!! lol

[Ms14787]

@IrishEyes1989 I saw that, too, I was amazed and loved it. I always felt that even tho they didn't do that many scenes together Allison and Stockard had such great chemistry working together!

[IrishEyes1989]

@Ms14787 Aww, yay! Glad I wasn't the only one to love it! hehe ;) You're absolutely right, Stockard and Allison had fabulous chemistry on the show. One of my favourite scenes of theirs is in the episode "The Fall's Gonna Kill You" when Abbey goes to CJ's office to apologize for not being there when she was told about Jed's MS and CJ confesses having seen Abbey give him an injection years earlier. Brilliant drama, both supremely talented actresses, I adore them.

[Ms14787]

@IrishEyes1989 I loved when the First Lady wanted to make a direct appeal, and when she's ambushed by all the reporters and CJ asks them to give her a break, CJ guides her through it, calling her Abbey, inviting her to her office to sit with her for a while. It showed how they were family, and how CJ always felt very protective. Amazing show. I miss it...

[shieldsuma]

never saw alias, joan of arcadia or law and order. saw only one episode of sopranos but without a doubt (and with much bias) i must say that the west wing was, and still is, best show

[RoDaTsAnTaKaIKoPaNa]

hot

[deltanuxkcrp]

Oh, she is such a beautiful woman.

[jtrenoweth]

Claudia Jean what have you done

[mlc2005]

This was for season five, when she was still press secretary, and the first season after Sorkin left the show (and Rob Lowe). It's considered the least fav. season for fans (but still better than almost anything else on tv) so that's prob. why the surprise. She deserved it though... Listen, she won 4 emmys b/c she's brilliantly talented, and the role of CJ is probably the hardest role... she had to memorize pages of monologues all the time.

[DChapman22]

Great vid. She forgot to mention Martin Sheen! Woops!

[nuculearbazooka]

I would marry this woman if I could.

[Yoeribank]

Can anyone read lips? I'd love to know what she said to that guy, when she just got up on stage...

[greysfan911]

hahahahha at her calling everyone up.

[AdArmand]

As long as Edie Falco won for her performance at the end of Season 4, I am satisfied. It's good to spread the accolades around anyway.

[mlc2005]

Obviously Falco is f-ing brilliant as Carmella (which has become an iconic role), but remember that emmy awards are about the episode's submitted, and if you are a fan of Sopranos and West Wing (as I am), you know what the tapes were. Janney had a KILLER tape, was in 90% of it, and I consider C.J Craig to be one of the greatest performance EVER, TV or movies. So, no shock. She deserved it. "Access," while not everyone's fav episode, was an acting tour de force, imo. Go watch it!

[Prime4571]

@mlc2005 spot on assessment, one mistake CJ Cregg

[findthebeauty]

She looks scared to death. But then so would I. Great speech, great show, great character. And Allison just rocks anyway.

[jaq074]

she forgot rob lowe too i think

[cajayson8301]

LOL Martin Sheen looks so pissed! I am just shocked that, if she had to forget anyone, she forgets the show's lead star

[grumpytosnowwhite]

Pissed? Uh...you obviously have supernatural vision if he looks that way to you...

[cajayson8301]

he just looked that way...but I am sure he did not take it to heart.

I am glad Allison Janney won...she was incredible as C.J.

[khanflesh]

Yeah, he seems a bit tired, but pissed? Don't think so. He knows what he's done, he doesn't need to be acknowledged yet again in yet another Emmy acceptance speech from yet another West Wing cast member (all deserving of their acclaim, of course). They all sang his praises in every interview and press junket. Janney was obviously very nervous and simply wanted to get through her speech and get off the stage.

[XlookitsChantelleOX]

maiska's reaction when allison asks her to come up and stand with her is ADORABLE. looveee allison and mariska!

[goldiloks08]

her speech pattern reminds me of CJ's.

omg, she's so amazing. <3

[yogis17]

Mariska and Edie deserved 2 win it that year...Their submitted episode performances were much better..

[grumpytosnowwhite]

I'm betting you didn't actually see Allison's performance. She's literally unbelievable. You can't believe she's an actress playing a character.

[YT0Vits]

I don't get it.If it's her 4th win,why was she so surprised?

[cajayson8301]

Probably because The West Wing did not have the best season from 2002-2003 (and 2003-2004 was better but not like in its glory days) and it looks like the other nominees were on shows with stronger seasons.

[YT0Vits]

I was just messing.

[aasjb4ever]

yay!

she was great in 9 to 5 the musical on broadway!

[meryldepp]

Omg! Poor Martin Sheen lol. I'm sure she didn't dit it on purpose. Anyway Alison is amazing, I just adore her =)

[emmyfan]

Allison Janney did not deserve the Emmy that year. Jennifer Garner had the best Emmy submission and should have won that Emmy.

[sassmyfrass]

She's just magnificent.

[lauraonbway]

Oh, wait. I think I just put my foot in my mouth. They were both nominated in 2003 when Edie won, weren't they? Sorry. :/

[henryalex27]

she forgot Martin Sheen

[moofootiesma]

LMAO, yes!

[nascarkraz]

I never even noticed. I'm sure MS didn't take it personally though.  But oops!

[eustonstn]

I am Martin Sheen.  I was mortified.

[MetalYoshiEgg]

Hey, look at what you wrote... it just made me realise. Did anyone else notice that Martin Sheen's initials are MS? How ironic/coincidental...

[rosaf19]

I saw an interview on Charlie Rose in which Martin Sheen said that the first time he saw MS in the script, he thought he was seeing his initials.

[DollyLoverForever]

lol...you can see she genuinely thought she wasn't gonna win. Her face is like *stunned*. Love Allison Janney!

[hollywoodwerewolf]

wow! 4 Emmys?

[SunshynMaker]

she never mentioned cheno!

[Sammie1Million]

This was before the Cheno I think. She did miss Martin Sheen though. Bless her :) x x x

[bethanyb5]

Cheno was still in Wicked that year.

[fighterlovesheather]

i think she is agreat actress

[Surax]

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't she chief of staff by this point?

[AdulteratedLoathing]

i think this was for the previous season of tww (2003), and not the season that was running at that time. so she would have still been press secretary, right? (i didnt watch tww while it was being broadcast so i have no idea what year she became chief of staff.)

[SnowSpider18]

Hahaha Taye!

Yay!

[claudja777]

sorry but mariska IS the best.

[jefferaldo]

Whats with Edie Falco's haircut

[vozas]

she had breast cancer that year and had chemo..

[AcademyAwardsGirl]

Edie Falco had cancer? You learn something new everyday!

[AdArmand]

I would have loved to have seen Edie go up there when Allison asked her. CJ and Carmela on the podium, what a duo.

[LtKnatt]

why is a cast member of alias presenting an award where jenifer garner is nominated?

[stockardallison]

Poor darling forgot Martin Sheen! Oh I love her though.

[MClass9771]

She is the best.....No doubt

[yogis17]

jennifer garner should have won this award...she got robed 4 times (in a row)!!!umbelievable

[emmyfan]

Jennifer Garner should have won this award. Her submission that year was top notch (The Two - Season 3 premier episode).

[vashleigh21]

jennifer garner!? phish....please...

[kaz99000]

she was great in drop dead gorgeous

[vashleigh21]

YES! drop dead gorgeous is my favorite comedy ever! she did a great job!!

[kataness]

yeah I agree with vozas :D Love Edie, she shoulda won!

[vozas]

i love edie's face when they say 'allison janney'

[dc3liz]

she went to my high school!

[mystikev]

she was good in "10 things i hate about you" but edie should have won this hands down, stupid emmy's

[traindawg]

yes, she did forget to thank Martin Sheen...

[gokcal]

Amber Tambyln was robbed.This is 2nd undeserving Emmy of Janney.(Rachel Griffiths should've won in 2002)

[ladymemory]

omg!!! TAYETAYETAYETAYE!!! its taye diggs!!! love!!!

[haughbe]

Of course she's really good. Allison Janney is an awesome, talented actress.

[nascarkraz]

She forgot to thank Martin. Aw man! But good for her to win AGAIN. :)

[vozas]

she must've been really good, to win this over edie falco

[snowyMaru]

she crapped herself lol.... GLAD SHE WON IT THOUGH!!! :)

[emily72]

I think Allison didn't expect to win that, she has never won over Edie Falco. I love Allison's unpreparedness though it is her fourth Emmy win.

[lauraonbway]

She was definitely surprised, but I don't think it was because she beat Edie. That was the first time she was nominated with her. When she won Best Actress in 2002, Edie wasn't nominated, and Allison won her other two Emmys in the Best Supporting Actress category. Edie Falco is super amazing, though!

[mareeana]

ohmygod, thank you so much for posting this!!! :]

[tweetypie100]

God, how embarassing_i wouldnt have made marishka stand up with her. but any award for the west wing works!
