Defying all conventional Emmy Award logic, Jim Ward took away the Emmy prize which, considering he was the least famous and least recognizable name in the batch is no small feat!
Congratulations Jim Ward! Jim Cummings, you’ll just have to show them next time!
Jim Cummings fans will love this new interview from ABC News.
There was another big feature on Jim Cummings this weekend in the Ventura County Star which is the same website that did the feature on JC when he was selling his house a while back.
Long time readers will recognize this video from the article about Jim Cummings selling his house a while back but since Ventura County Star repeated this video with their newest article I figured I would repeat it here in turn. If you didn’t get a chance to watch it the first time, it’s a great interview with Jim doing multiple voices.
“This year I’m going with either Vanessa or Amy,” Cummings said, summing up his competition. “I think folks go down the line and go: ‘Jim Cummings? I don’t really know who that is. Oh, Joan Rivers, Vanessa Williams, I love her; let’s vote for her.’ You can’t fight that. I understand why they do it.” [SOURCE]
Mark your calendars, set your watch and do whatever else you need to remember that the 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be on August 30th, 2009 on the CW. Check your local listings for times.
(I’m reminding your early so you cannot blame me if you forget to watch! 
)
Will Jim Cummings manage to wrest an Emmy away from the likes of Joan Rivers, Vanessa Williams (the host of the show) or Amy Poehler? Only time will tell.
UPDATE: Jim Cummings’ award will not be televised. Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program will be announced the Saturday before the televised broadcast. Booo!
