Wizards Cast Talk Emmy Nomination
Earlier this morning, it was announced that Wizards of Waverly Place scored a nomination for an Emmy Award!!! A few of the cast members from the show called up JustJaredJr.com to chat about the good news:
David Henrie: “I’m super, super excited. It’s a huge honor. My mom called me this morning and she goes ‘Congratulations, David!’ and I was like ‘For what!?’ and she was like ‘YOU GOT NOMINATED FOR AN EMMY!’ I was freaking out.”
Jake T. Austin: “I found out from Twitter! I literally woke up this morning and I normally don’t check it in the morning but… (David interjets and yells, “Don’t lie!”) I’m dead serious. I woke up at 7 in the morning, got up, checked Twitter and found out about the Emmy from executive producer Peter [Murrieta]. Then of course, I ran up to ask my dad and asked if it was true and jumped for joy. It’s nice to know that all of our hard work is being rewarded. It’s not just the cast but the crew, the writers and producers, everyone.”
Jennifer Stone: “My publicist called my mom - and then my mom woke me up with the news. It beats an alarm clock, I’d say. It’s really exciting and totally an honor. It’s such a collaboration between writers, actors and crew. Everybody comes together and does their part — definitely a group effort.”
Selena Gomez (via Twitter): “What an honor, I’m speechless. I am so blessed! Can’t wait to celebrate with the crew today!”
Since WOWP is up against Hannah Montana, JJJ asked David, Jake and Jennifer which Disney Channel show they’d want to win. Of course they all chose Wizards!
Jennifer joked, “Well, I think Hannah had its time - come on now!”
Congrats to the cast and crew of WOWP!!!

why the hell didn’t the suite life get nominated?
wth?
SLOD is a million times better than the original yet TSLOZAC gets emmy nominations.. UGH
WTH? SLOD should of been nominated and why the hell wasn’t the show nominated at this years Nick Kids Choice Award, why was TSLOZAC nominated? it is over! geez, Nick.. SLOD is new series.
congrats i luv the show
Congratulations to all the Wizards Of Waverly Place casts and crew!
congrats ! wizards is awesome !
i honestly think icarly will win, but i to be honest i kinda want hannah to win
Wizards should win because all the cast is full of great actors. The casting director that chose the actors actually chose them for their acting ability like it should be and I applaud him/her. It’s a very wicked and well thought out show that is enjoyable by all ages. My mom enjoys it(40), my little sister enjoys it(10), and I enjoy it(17). I also love how Selena hits great comedic timing in every episode and you can’t help by laughing even though you have watched the episode like twenty times. It also brings you back to the feeling of family comes first and they will always be there for you. Hannah’s popularity is already dying out look at her latest cd and it took it three seasons to get nominated while as Wizards has only aired for 2 season and it already got one. May I also add the acting isn’t that great in Hannah if I can put it in the nicest way. Either way I’ll be hopefuly for the cast to take the win at the Emmy’s.
wizards should WIN!!!!!!
I know right. HM has run its course. Congrats to the WOWP cast and crew that’s awesome!!
i hope hannah wins
simply becuz i think its better
if u dont i dont care cuz its ur opinion
u have urs i have mine
but i think hannah shud win
1) becuz its rateing are higher
2) becuz everyone knows about hannah montana and or miley cyrus
3) becuz its just a funnier show to watch
i think the acting is much better then wizards
and hannah mite have not won last year but it was nominated
im pretty sure rather hannah or icarly will win
i do believe wizards should win. i mean im a fan of both shows but i feel like hannah has bee around much longer and that wizards is a fairly new show to this, so congrats to the WOWP cast! i am definitely hoping they win! they deserve it and i love the show! great actors/actresses!
@me: I think you haven’t heard of the Emmy’s. The Emmy’s isn’t a popularity contest. It’s strictly for talent. A few people cast their ballots for which shows they think elude talent and are creative.
@leah:
YOU ROCK! :b
Wizards should definitely win!
Mainly because the show has always been underrated and overshadowed by Hannah. Now that it’s grown into a popular show itself, it should win the Emmy. Either way, Wizards and Hannah totally deserves the award.
iCarly doesn’t. that show has HORRIBLE writing.
that’s such an honor. i’m glad they were nominated. they are really talented actors/actresses. they should win.
I love what Jennifer said about Hannah Montana already had it’s time lol. She’s the only Disney star that never holds back her opinion. She’s so awesome. Congrats to the whole Wizards cast, especially Selena. They all rock!
hahaha loved the joke =P i hope they win, they really deserve it
xo, mexico
4 some reason i think wowp will win but i want hannah montana to win because its a better show then wowp but its manily agaisnt selena,miley or miranda because people just vote on who is their favorite star than show, but i want hannah or icarly to win, wowp is a boring show but i love the cast!!=)
I am so happy for the Wizards cast and crew! If this is based on talent and cast dynamic alone then Wizards should have it in the bag. I mean…come on. The chemistry/acting/writing is just BETTER.
I reallllly hope this isn’t a popularity contest (we have enough of those types of award shows) because I know how popular HM and iCarly are (even though I think Wizards is better than both) and it would be a real shame if one of those shows won over Wizards just because they have better ratings.
i think they really deserve it because everybody enjoys the show, i few days ago i was in orlando and a man asked if were celebrating a birthday or something because we had a cake and i told him we were quinceañeras and his wife said really excited “like in wizards of waverly place” it makes me laugh a lot.
i wish wwp all the best =)
excuses my english, xo mexico
i do hope they win!
i love wizards its so fun too watch, even though i’m 17 i tune in to Disney channel just to watch Wizards with my sister
a meant A few* i put “i” sorry :S
HANNAH SHOULD WIN!! =)
Hahaha. I love how the media is only talking about Wizards being up against Hannah. No one cares about iCarly lol.
hannah montana should WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=)
they really deserve it, wowp is the best disney serie ever really thecast is awesome and it’s so funny
congratz guys
wizards is no match for hannah montana
hannah is the highest rated show on disney channel
GO HANNAH MONTANA!
iCarly was also nominated!
Come on, give them some credit.
They totally deserve to win!
@nileyfan4ever123:
its not a popularity contest sry2say.
wizards should win though, imo.
hannah montana ROX!! im NOT ever considering wizards
As long as Sonny with a Chance is NOT nominated, I’m happy
. That show is sh**. Wizards and Hannah, on the other hand, are THE sh**.
Go Wizards and Hannah!!!!
Okay, let me get this clear for some of you people.
These shows are strictly being voted on story, concept, dialog, acting. Things like that, real things, it’s NOT the Mtv awards or the KCA or TCA, it’s the Emmy’s. The Emmy’s is NOT a popularity contest. Got it? Good.,
Now, I think Wizards should win this award. It has the best actors, the jokes are so clever and witty. The chemistry of the whole cast is amazing. It’s just a far better show overall.
I think Hannah and wizards are both great shows .. and i think both of them should win !! = )
@BlaireB: Thank you for saying that. Emmy is based on the talent, not popularity.
The Emmy’s is not a superficial, popularity contest!! These shows are not going to be voted by mindless, immature little teenies!
forget about those other shows!
It’s Wizards time to shine!!
@BlaireB: I agree. When it comes to the level of professionality in the acting and quality of the writing, Wizards comes out on top.
hannah montana is so much better than wizards..
miley is awesome!
WOWP WILL WIN
iCarly is a great show, but i don’t think miranda is a great actress. Its true that Hannah Montana has been around for along time, but some of actors aren’t very good at acting, especially the “dad”. I read all the comments and what @leah said about the Emmys, “the Emmys isn’t a popularity contest, its strictly based on talent” and i think what @leah said is true. And the actors that are on wizards of waverly place has true talent! they’ve been in the business longer than the actors on Hannah Montana and they worked very hard on the show. and some of you who haven’t done their research, it seems that wizards beats hannah for being the most rated show on disney channel. read wikipedia and serch for WOWP under “history”. and look how many stars wowp has on IMDB.COM and compare it with Hannah Montana!
although icarly beats both of them. I rather pick icarly and wowp over hannah montana any day! CONGRATS TO THE WOWP CAST!
@leah:
just a heads up…hannah montana was also nominated for an emmy back in 2007, so it took wizards longer to get nominated.
i personally think icarly will in it, nick usually does even though i like hannah better. i think wizards is funny but selena’s character is very mean on the show which is why i don’t like her part. but harper, max, and justin crack me up every time. good thing the ensemble saves the show.
i dont watch this shows but hannah is so overrated, i mean enough is too much! and selena is a nice girl so she deserves it more than spoiled miley virus
i actually don’t mind watching wizards, i mean i’m 21 and i watch that show with my four year old daughter
selena, for me, has got to be the best Disney actress right now.
What? I think Hannah and Wizards are both witty and funy. I enjoy watching both. So, plz stop saying ”Oh, Hannah deserve it way more than Wizards.” or ”Wizards derserves it way more than Hannah.” I like both shows. I think they both derserve it. Both the Hanah and Wizards cast works hard. No matter who has the better acting skills. They all work. Oh, and @thefame. Youre so jealous of Miley. How do u know shes spoiled? Oh yeah, you dont so shut up and stop being jealous!
I mean *witty and funny*. *Hannah*. Sorry.
@leah:
Hannah was nominated last year too.
I want for HANNAH MONTANA to win!!!!!!
i want hannah too win =(
Super Excited! “I am super excited about THE EMMY! they deserve so much …….love you so much SELENA GOMEZ “”"”"”"”"”you rock
congratulations to the amazing cast love xoxoxo
@Coll: I meant it took a long time from the hiatus from 2007 to get nominated sorry I worded that wrong, but even though at that WOWP actually has talented actors and has a whole lot of creativity with all the spells.
SELE ES LO MAS ENTREN A MI PAGINA http:/mileyeveros-miley.blogspot.com
wizards needs to win
What category are they nominated in?
omgosh, honestly.
WOWP sucks compared to hannah montana and iCarly
at least hannah montana and iCarly make you laugh.
WOWP is just there for a time pass.
i really hope one of the other shows win.
@Rachel: i agree with you complety =) wowp is boring!!!!
HANNAH OR ICARLY needs too win!!!
hannah
COngrats to wizards, they deserve to be nominated the show is so good and I really hope they win
I am still amazed people actually think Miley Cyrus is a good actor. There are some good actors on Hannah Montana but for the most part they are terrible. I’m 21 and I’ve actually stopped to watch Wizards…it’s got great comedic timing and the cast blends nicely. Selena is by far the more talented actress.
It’s not a popularity contest thank god because Hannah does not deserve an Emmy. If Hannah wins an Emmy I will never consider the Emmy’s a credible award show.
AND WHAT ABOUT ICARLY? nothing to hannah or wizards, but no one cares about icarly only cause is from nickelodeon. THEY SHOULD WIN! they have an amaizing cast. an AMAIZING writer, and most of all, is FUNNY AND SIMPLE.
WAKE UP PEOPLE! THIS IS NOT A AWARD FOR BEST CELEBRITY IS FOR BEST SHOW.
@emily:
Wizards is not boring, just because the jokes are not pushed out there to you like hannah and icarly does not mean that it is boring. Wizards are very easy with their jokes, and all the funny stuff is some the actors light gestures and facial expressions. Their jokes are under-hand and very easy, not over the top as hannah and icarly
@Rachel: Oh just shut up you little teenie!
Wizards is WAY funnier than the other two COMBINED. Sure, if you like over the top plots with actors that OVERACT every other sentence and have guest stars on every other episode while ignoring their core cast then sure…Hannah Montana and iCarly will be more entertaining to you.
But if you like clever jokes, actual continuity and actual character development, Wizards is your best bet. I think the fact that it’s humor is more subtle and not IN YOUR FACE like the other three some of the kids/tweeners can’t appreciate it. The WIZARDS writers aren’t telling you when you need to laugh by using over the top physical guestures and having people trip and fall off cliffs. Their approach is more subtle and the more you watch the show the funnier it is to you because the jokes actually extend to who the characters are as people. They don’t change characterization in order to contrive a plot or make something funny…they work around what’s already there. They explore their options and flesh out their characters more than any other Disney/Nick series.
Wizards is the only show I could see standing up outside of the Disney Channel and I think that just because the younger crowd doesn’t appreciate it as much as Hannah Montana and iCarly doesn’t mean it should be put on the back burner. It makes me sad.
@Rachel: LMAO iCarly can’t even help pass time. It’s a snoozefest of screaming and shouting. Hannah has overacting too but it’s funny. Wizards is funny AND has good acting. Clearly, you now see which show is the best.
OMG …. I want hannah montana too win .
and hannah deserve it way more than wizards 
yayyyy ..
i hope you win 
When I watch WOWP first time ,OMG it sooo boring
hannah montana is soooooo much better than WOWP
also this show is sooooo funny than wizards =)

i think we all know who going to win HANNAH MONTANA.
BEST AND MOST SUCCESS SHOW ON DISNEY EVER.
wizards is really good too.I LOVE MILEY AND SELENA <3
@me:
Before you want to comment, learn how to speak proper english. And to be honest, most of us here think the acting on WOWP is much better that Hannah.
@love: I agree with u
why didn’t TSLOndeck get nominate?
This show is better than WOWP and HM
they DON’T deserve it. Selena is beautiful, but she’s fake
Go Wizards!!:D
@shell Miley is a good actress. So is Selena. Thats why both of them are in the acting business. I like Hannah and Wizards. If Hannah wins, it derserves i and if Wizards win, it derserves. Miley and Selena boh have good comedic timing. Both shows make me laugh. So plz stop saying whose better. Who agrees?
*If Hannah wins, it deserves it and if Wizards wins, it deserves it.*
I hope Wizards wins as well.
The acting and the way the cast works together is brilliant.
@leah: Well then i think you haven’t watched hannah cause it’s full of talent! Wizards is a terrible show and the actors are crap!
iCarly will proberly win Nickelodeon is owned by vitcom and vitcom own the emmy’s.
Why isn’t “The Suite Life on Deck” nominated yet “Hannah montana” is?!?!!
I mean (this is JUST my OPINION), the acting is seriously BAD in “Hannah Montana”. I’m extremely surprised it even got nominated! Has the world gone mad?! HM is just TOO OVERRATED! I hope they didn’t bribe the Emmy judges or something.
And as for WOWP, congrats!
I’m not a fan of the show but I DO watch it often. 
And iCarly yay! I love the show!
But overall, I think “iCarly” should win. THough I wouldn’t mind WOWP winning as well.
WOWP!?! WTH..hannah or icarly should win…
yayay Wizards desvers it
and i agree hannah montana berly
has good actors,and the funny funny stuff is chesse
and THE EMMYS IS NOT A POPULARTY
contest award show,its based on
acting,chemistry,and the way its written.
So really if you count all that HM is out
iCarly is funny Marinanda is such a good actress
miley is funny two but sometimes the stuff thats
on there is really pathedic and uselesss
i mean serisoluy what does kissesing all the time
theres a new guy teaching kids wizards has only made
alex/selena kiss twice.I really think wizards will win but if not
id rather iCarly win sorry i mean i love miley
but in the episode hes the one it showed so much
like the fact she CANNOT sing and her voice is edited
a l o t,and most of the time its her dad talking about using the
“tank” and having to work on the “do” i mean WTH
and FYI this post is under SELENA GOMEZ not
COME ALL MILEY FANS/SELENA HATERS okkk so leave her ALONE
i respect all actors because tehy go through crap everyday and have to take it,crap by imature tweens who have no idea whats really going on,SO STOP comming here to this post to trash wizards because that just means you want to start something virtal and your showing everyone how much your mom has taught you
P E A C E
actually hannah montana’s rating are ver very low sonny with a chance is the highest rated show then wizards then jonas then every once in a while hannah is numer one it’s a roller coaster because one show goes up then the other goes down but lately hannnah and jonas aint doin so good
to tel you the truth even though hannah is more popular i honestly think wizards will win no joke hannah may be funnier but wizards has better acting and of course selena gomez!!! and her show is becoming less popular and her merchandise-people(kids) aren’t buying anymore because the percent rate is down 23%her studio album didn’t do good like it did that last 2 times in it’s last season and the rating are going down.sorry
congrats on the emmy!
they deserve the nomination but hannah montana deserves the award! its the best show on disneychannel & everyone still loves hannah no matter how much you say you dont!
hola!!!!!
q linda pic!!
la amo a sel!!!
I love Wizards…. Ahh, hope they win!!
alex your funny
I wanna just disagree with someone right now If ouy check disney channel ratings WOWP pulls in over 2 million viewers than hannah montana every primere so in no way does it have higher ratings and 2 the emmy’s are based on talent WOWP the entire cast has chenistry and it more than 3 or 4 characters like it is on both HM and Icarly WOWP should rlly win because it has broken not only hanah montana records but disney’s records as well and i bet u that the movie will shatter Disney’s other highest ratings in half
