EW’s Emmy picks

The June 22nd issue of Entertainment Weekly chooses “the actors and series they’d like to see score some sweet, sweet Emmy love”:

Best Comedy: [The Office] provides loads o’belly laughs, while engaging your emotions: Michael’s unexpectedly fraught relationship with Jan? Pam’s breakthrough on the beach with fiery coals? Hot stuff.

Best Supporting Actress/Comedy: The classic comic leading ladies — from Lucille Ball to Julia Louis-Dreyfus — are brassy broads. Jenna Fischer of The Office is exploring new territory: the funnywoman as a humble, sensitive soul. Her Pam elicits laughs from delighted camera glances and low-key sarcasm, while also winning our hearts … and an Emmy?

The article includes a full-sized photo of Jenna Fischer — check it out after the jump!

Jenna wrote me to say:

I’m so proud of Angela, Brian and Oscar. They worked really hard on those and showed up in their free time to work on them. It was something they wanted to do for the fans and I’m really proud they got recognized. Randall Einhorn shot and directed them. He’s our usual D.P. — you may have met him during your visit. Anyway, he did a great job. I feel like a proud Mom or something but we really are like family over there …

John Krasinski in People’s ‘Hottest Bachelors’ issue

From BostonHerald.com:

Joining [Chris] Evans in the Hottest Bachelor issue are two more brainy Boston-bred cuties, “The Office” star, John Krasinski and “Wildfire” actor, Ryan Sypek. Because of their impressive education, both Newton homey Krasinski and Wayland native Sypek score a spot on the mag’s “Smarthrobs” list.

Smarthrob sounds like a … oh never mind. ;)

I can’t find any mention of John on People.com’s Hottest Bachelor sneak peak page. I guess we’ll have to wait until the issue is available on newsstands. Which is tomorrow, June 15th …
