Katherine Heigl is Ungrateful

Katherine Heigl has a lot to learn about humility. The L.A. Times asked why she didn’t submit herself for an Emmy award for her work on Grey’s Anatomy. She said:

"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."

Blame it on the writers. Actresses like Heigl really need a pay cut, and the writers need a raise. They’re supposed to be a team, but actors for too long have thought they were somehow better than the writers. So much arrogance.

Heigl has won an Emmy award before for her work on Grey’s anatomy. An insider for the show told Entertainment Weekly:

“The show bent over backwards to accommodate her film schedule, and then she criticizes the show for lack of material? It’s an ungrateful slap in the face to the very writers responsible for her Emmy win in the first place.”

Last year Heigl complained she wasn’t getting a raise, but she did get one. Heigl also publicly said she wanted out of her Grey’s Anatomy contract. It looks like she’s going to cause a lot of trouble until she gets fired.

This isn’t going to help rumors that Heigl is a diva that’s difficult to work with. It must be even worse being married to her.
