Wilson Tricked At Emmy Announcement

Emmy Awards bosses tricked double-nominee Chandra Wilson into believing she'd been left off this year's (09) shortlist.

The Grey's Anatomy star's name was omitted from a rundown of nominees she was shown before taking to the stage to announce the 2009 candidates on Thursday (16Jul09).

So she was stunned when she discovered she'd picked up two nods for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama for Grey's Anatomy and OutstandingLead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for Accidental Friendship.

A shocked Wilson tells People.com, "We did the rehearsal ahead of time and went down the teleprompter three times. My name wasn't there,so I was like, 'Cool.' "I'd been completely duped".
