Congratulations to Neil Patrick Harris - he’s been nominated for a Golden Globe for - take a breath - “Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television.”

The competition: Piven for Entourage, Blair Underwood for In Treatment, Denis Leary for Recount, and Tom Wilkinson for John Adams.

The Globes will air on Sunday, January 11.

• Scheduling: December 1 will be a rerun of The Bracket, and a new episode, The Fight, will air on December 8. [If you don't read big spoilers, the network-issued description of the episode is here.] I would guess that since Benefits is reportedly airing in January, Little Minnesota will be moved ahead of it to air on December 15, but we won’t know for another week or so.
• Josh Radnor recently appeared in the November 17 issue of People Magazine:
  
• Video of Josh at Don’t Quit Your Night Job (thanks Ingrid!):

Today, Stephan Olson (the show’s production designer) and Susan Eschelbach (the show’s set decorator) won the Emmy for Outstanding Art Direction for a Multi-Camera Series, for the episodes The Yips, No Tomorrow, and Miracles - it’s HIMYM’s third consecutive win in that category. [It's also Olson's third consecutive win, and Eschelbach's second.]

As for the Creative Arts ceremony and its HIMYM hosts: I cannot even begin to imagine what the explanation behind this picture is. Be warned: It’s about as NSFW as the Emmys will ever get.

One last tidbit: This LA Times article on cell phones in movies and TV shows has a quote from Carter Bays and a quick HIMYM mention.

1. Neil and Sarah Chalke will host the Creative Arts Emmys. The ceremony is on September 13, but it’ll air on E! on the 20th.

2. Neil will be appearing on the September 5 Stand Up To Cancer telethon [airing simultaneously on CBS, NBC, and ABC], possibly as one of the stars answering calls from viewers.

3. Neil will appear on Letterman this Wednesday, August 27.

4. Jason Segel was quoted in an article about bromances.

5. Neil won Best Actor in a Comedic Television Performance at the Golden Icon Awards.

6. Jason Segel and his wild mane are in the September issue of Marie Claire.

7. If Bob Saget had to pick a new Danny Tanner, it’d be Josh Radnor.

8. Gloria Calderon Kellet won the ALMA for Outstanding Writing for a Television Series, for the episode “How I Met Everyone Else.”

9. CBS released the official description of 401, for those of you who don’t want to read anything more spoilery than the one-line network description.

10. The TV Addict talked to Carter Bays about the Emmys, standalone episodes, and whether he has concerns about Jason Segel. [He doesn't.]

I take great comfort in the fact that all of my favorite shows in the past never got nominated and I’ll continue to do so until we do get nominated. At which point I’ll disavow any statement like that and say that the Emmy Voters always get it right

11. Neil and Josh were at the Hot in Hollywood benefit [NPH arriving, I haven't seen any Josh photos] and performed a raunchy version of “Puff, the Magic Dragon” ["Ruby, the Magic Unicorn"], guided by suggestions from the audience.

• Blu-Ray specs for Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
• Doogie Howser episodes on Hulu.
• Indecision 2008: Which NPH is Obama’s best VP pick?
• Variety looks at the Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy nominees.
• Neil is scheduled to attend a Creative Coalition concert at the Republican National Convention. [Creative Coalition is a nonpartisan group based in the entertinment industry that focuses on artistic concerns.]
• Segel HairWatch: STILL NO SIGN. We can only hope that a haircut came at some point in the past two months.

Last minute, I know - NPH will be on The View today. 10 AM, ABC.

A transcript of the Washington Post chat can be found here. [Some Dr. Horrible spoilers.] My favorite part:

Damn: I’m straight and I think I’d go out with you. Probably upset the wife and kids, though. So what do you think happened to Doogie? Did he grow up, buy a Porsche and start a family practice in the suburbs?

Neil Patrick Harris: He probably developed an addiction to painkillers and wanders around with a cane at some hospital somewhere…

There’s also a small piece of Emmy talk from him here.

As for the Future!Mosbys - Bob Saget has been cast in a new CW sitcom, and apparently Ted’s son and Robin’s sister are dating.

The Washington Post is currently taking questions for a Neil Patrick Harris chat that will take place in…seven and a half hours. Submit your questions now!

Gloria Calderon Kellet is nominated for an ALMA award - Outstanding Writing for a Television Series, “How I Met Everyone Else.”

A TCA roundup: Photos of Neil and Cobie at the CBS TCA party, more photos, Cobie talks about Sarah Chalke [it's highlight #2], Sarah Chalke talks about everyone, Neil talks about marriage, Regis and Kelly, and being a fairy shoeperson.

Finally, the initial numbers say Dr. Horrible racked up 2.25 million views.

Lots more Emmy coverage after the jump. Continue reading →
