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!!!

@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.

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 .

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.
