Grey's Anatomy Named Best TV Drama
The cast and creators of Grey's Anatomy strike a pose backstage in the press room with the prestigious award for Best Television series in the Drama category during the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Monday, January 15, 2007.
While Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey failed to win individual awards in their respective best actress and actor categories, it's great to see the whole cast pull it out in the one that matters most. It's a true team effort, week after week, and this group deserves to share the credit!
We're putting together a collection of pictures of the Grey's Anatomy cast members at the event, which we'll post on the site later today. Congratulations, all!

Did anyone watch the 'after the award' interview with the entire cast? Its on the golden globe website - if you click the movie link next to Greys Anatomy on the winners list. Issah Washington storms the mic and sets a reporter straight. I understand his aggrivation with how the media overhyped this situation - but I personally think what he says is uncalled for - even for setting the record straight. I love Burkes charachter and it could not be pulled off by anyone as amazing as Issah - but i have to tell you - i'm really not a big Issah fan as much after watching that. He's a little raw if you ask me. What do you guys think?

Hi Vicki, I am disappointed that he does not use better judgment sometimes. I love Burke and I am still an Isaiah fan and believe that he has been unnecessarily attacked by the media around the altercation in October. Last night though was not the time or place. I don't know why the first question of the media would be about the spat in October rather than about the show and the win, but Isaiah should not have said anything at all. The question was addressed to Shonda and she is very good at handling questions like that. He should have trusted her to do it. I don't blame him for being tired of the whole thing, but that was not the appropriate time to address it. I went from being on cloud 9 because they won to very sad for him because once again he didn't help himself by blurting out a denial at that moment. There is really no defense and you know I am a defender.

Burke Backer - I totally agree, i just was curious how everyone else felt. I have a very hard time letting myself think any negative thoughts about the cast ...being such a huge fan of the show. So, i'm glad to hear that even the die hard Burke fans feel the same...it makes me feel less guilty about being kind of put off. Well, i have a feeling the press is going to reopen this can of worms with the statement he made. But I really do hope they prove me wrong. Keep your fingers crossed!
Until then......ONLY 2 MORE DAYS!

Grey's Anatomy is just raking in top honors at all of the award shows this year! They started this year on a high note winning Favorite TV Drama at The People's Choice Awards, and graciously took home Best Television Drama Series at last nights Golden Globes! I love that show and I am very happy for its success.

You forgot to mention that Katherine Hiegl was nominated as well.

I did'nt see what happen but I just the ugly mess would go away. The show is a success because of everyone involved. It seems someone wants to over shadow the happiness with old news. If it were an everyday problem I could see people going on about it but from what I've read this was an isolated incident. So unless I missed something and Im sure someone will let me know. It's time to move on to like the new and exciting episodes that are coming up.

I just watched the video where Isaiah addressed the reporter and denied the name calling toward TR, and I don't quite get what was so awful about it. Did I mess something? I saw nothing wrong with it. He was defending himself, and didn't feel that Shonda should have to defend him, especially with him being right there. It like someone talking about you as if you're not in the room.
January 16th, 2007 8:24 PM
It just wasn't classy at all.
January 16th, 2007 9:14 PM
He wasn't trying not to be classy, he was just correcting the reporter.
January 16th, 2007 10:35 PM
Well apparently TR Knight was offended again because Isaiah said he did not call him the f word. Honestly, I think TR needs to grow thicker skin. It was the same reporter from Eonline who started the whole thing to begin with that asked, once again, as soon as the cast got into the media room about the incident on the set. He was bragging about it on eonline. He couldn't even congratulate them or celebrate with them before launching right into an attack again. I think Isaiah had simply had enough and felt the need to set the record straight. I understand his frustration, but wish he would have chosen a better time to say something. Shonda could have shut down the reporter. She is good at that. Although Isaiah should have kept silent, it wasn't classy of the reporter to ask that question at that time either. Katherine Heigl of course had to make it worse by defending TR in a later interview. No one was attacking TR and he didn't need defending. And, to be perfectly honest, TR is a big boy. He needs to speak for himself and maybe he will tomorrow on Ellen. I just hope it doesn't do yet more damage. Either TR or Katherine (when she was on Ellen) could have set the record straight way back in October. I have lost a great deal of respect for both of them because they left Isaiah hanging out their when either of them could have clarified the situation. If he did not call TR a name back in the original incident as both he and Shonda claim, someone other than Isaiah should have said so a long time ago. According to Isaiah in his later interview with Access Hollywood he was advised not to deny it because everyone thought it would just blow over. The fact that credible news sources picked up on the story from the tabloids and printed it as if it were truth made the situation worse. I think Isaiah needs to seek counsel from the abc lawyers and make them prove their accusations or shut up. This has just gone on way too long. It is too bad it put a pall over the win though. It was a night to celebrate not to have to defend yourself once again.

I sure Isaiah would have prefer not to address that but sometime, try has you may, it's hard not to when you feel that someone is trying to embarrass you in front of a room full of people. I don't understand why TR would get upset, he was making it clear that he didn't call him that. I also think that PD had more to do with the situation than revealed, too. But I'm not going to go into that, because I'd like to move on from this. I just feel that there was nothing wrong with IW trying to correct the reporter. KH made a big deal out of nothiing.
January 16th, 2007 11:43 PM
I didn't see any indication that TR was upset but IW's comments Monday night. I didn't see any response from him at all. To me, that shows class and maturity. Burke Backer, you are assuming that IW is innocent and that TR or KH should "set the record straight". You have to consider that there might be some truth to it and that they are showing class by keeping silent. IW had a great chance to set the record straight on Oprah a couple of months ago, but instead he rambled on and monopolized the interview time, rather than making a short, concise statement and then moving on. TR, on the other hand, indicated that it's in the past and that they're a family. And BTW, if KH wants to have an opinion, let her have it, just like you have yours. Frankly, I think she is right on.
January 17th, 2007 6:43 AM
Well, that's the point. If TR wasn't upset why make a big deal of it. He was correcting the reporter. She should be upset at the reporter. I don't feel she was being mature about it at all.
January 17th, 2007 3:54 PM
I think KH was right on too.....and no one should speculate how TR or the cast felt at the GG when the comment was made, by their faces.....they could still be upset inside.
January 17th, 2007 5:00 PM
I think that it's important that people watch the words we use in describing people. I know that whether I am refering to a black person or a gay person or even a women. I need to be respectful and educational. He could have just denied saying it and been educational, but he chose to be a stupid typical black male....offense..and TR was offened....
January 17th, 2007 5:29 PM
all i can say is that everyone should watch the clip of the ellen show.....
also i loved kate walshs hair.
January 17th, 2007 7:19 PM
He does not respect Shonda. The reporter asked her the question. I have been a fan of Isaiah's for years but after this unnecessary outburst he needs to GO! The insult roled off of his tongue too easily, he can not keep his mouth shut.
January 17th, 2007 7:32 PM
Kniike74, I suggest you practice what you preach. You commented in your post, "I know that whether I am referring to a black person or a gay person or even a women. I need to be respectful and educational", but yet in the same sentence, you say "stupid typical black male".
January 17th, 2007 9:03 PM
ISAIAH NEEDS TO LEAVE PERIOD!!!!! YOU ARE A BIGGOT. THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS YOU WERE NOT RAISED VERY WELL OR YOU HAVE SOME OTHER DEEP SEEDED ISSUES. I KNOW YOU MADE THE COMMENT ON SET BECASE A FRIEND OF MINE WORKS ON THE SHOW. I HOPE AND PRAY YOU ARE NOT PASSING THIS TYPE OF ATTITUDE TO YOUR KIDS. YOU NEVER KNOW ONE OF THEM MIGHT BE GAY
January 18th, 2007 2:36 PM
I fail to understand why the hype is so high to fire Isiah Washington because he announced to the press that he did not call his co-worker that word??? Since when is a denial for human dignity cause for termination? Everyone knows the drama has been over the hill in hype!
I think that Mr. Knight used the good publicity of the show to gain approval for his announcement that he is gay. To sit on Ellen's show and play the martyr at the beginning of a new season, and after winning the Golden Globe is disrespectful to all his co-workers, and an individual claim for fame. The critics that think Washington is out of line are strange, he certainly should deny a rumer that is "out of control, and untrue!
It is unethical to black list him because he is telling the truth wth respect to a situation that is being blown out of sanity.!
January 18th, 2007 4:59 PM
If TR was looking for fame and attention he would be out there doing more interviews and he would have responded in an outburst to IW at the GGs. He seems to stay pretty much to himself instead.
As for IW "telling the truth", obviously that is now in question. And if he never said the slur, then why did he apologive for it in October? Did I miss an explanation of that?

Im am so glad that Grey's Anatomy is so successful!
