Giving salad an

Emmy fine
The Emmys will be held next Sunday,
Sept. 19, from 8-11 p.m. on ABC,
and the nominees' names are familiar.
It seems like we see the same faces for
a five-year cycle.
However, if you pick up a short
biography of the Jewish women who
are up for the acting Emmys, you'll
discover they all happen to be interest-
ing people in their own right.
The Jewish actresses nominated this
year include DORIS ROBERTS, who
has won the Outstanding Supporting
Actress in a Comedy Series award the
last three years for Everybody Loves
Raymond. Roberts paid her dues with
decades of small roles before Raymond
made her a household name, and she
is an effective spokesperson for the
rights of senior Americans.
SARAH JESSICA PARKER, the
star of the just concluded Sex and the
City, is up for Outstanding Lead
Actress in a Comedy Series. Parker
defied the "child actor curse" as she
moved from young adolescent to adult
parts — and there were no drug
rehabs along the way.
MARE WINNINGHAM, nomi-
nated for Outstanding Guest Actress
in a Drama Series for Law Order:
SVU, converted to Judaism last year;
see a profile on her in this week's JN,
beginning on page 93.
MARLEE MATLIN, the beautiful
deaf actress, also is nominated for
Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama
Series for Law 6- Order: SVU. Matlin
frequently speaks (or "signs") to Jewish
groups about growing up Jewish and
about her work for the deaf and Jews
in the deaf community. She can soon
be seen on the big screen in the indie
flick What the "Bleep" Do We Know!?.
Jewish actors face off against each
other in several categories.
In the Outstanding Guest Actor in a
Drama Series category are veterans
WILLIAM SHATNER (The Practice)
and MARTIN LANDAU (Without a
Trace).
In the Outstanding Supporting
Actor in a Comedy Series category,
you'll find nominees BRAD GAR-
RETT (Everybody Loves Raymond) and
JEFFREY TAMBOR (Arrested
Development).
Up for Outstanding Supporting
Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie are
BEN SHENKMAN and JUSTIN
KIRK (who is Jewish on his mother's
side) for Angels in America.
LARRY (Curb Your Enthusiasm)
DAVID picked up several Emmy
nominations, including Outstanding
Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, while
talented actor VICTOR GARBER
(Alias) is the sole Jewish nominee in
the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a
Drama Series category.
Also worthy of note: BILLY
CRYSTAL'S nomination for hosting
the Oscars; the nomination of JON
STEWART, as producer of Comedy
Central's The Daily Show, for
Outstanding Variety Series; LORNE
MICHAELS' double nominations for
producing Late Night with Conan
O'Brien and Saturday Night Live, both
up for Outstanding Variety Series; and
MIKE NICHOLS' almost certain win
as Outstanding Director of a
Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic
Special for Angels in America.
