Feelings on the finale aside, it’s still hard to deny the fact that Katherine Heigl pulled off an amazing performance this season. She seems to think she did, too, because Ausiello has revealed that the actress will be dropping her name into the Emmy nomination box for the upcoming award.

If you recall, last year was all a scandal, when Heigl stated that she hadn’t been given any Emmy-worthy material. If you also recall, this is around the time when all the Izzie-is-going-to-die rumors started. Well, Heigl doesn’t have that complaint this time around. What’s more Emmy-worthy than an emotional battle with cancer and potential death?

Of course, whether or not she might win a second time is anybody’s guess, but I think she’d be a worthy nominee.

What do you think?

I’m sure we’re all still recuperating from last night’s season finale. And what a season finale that was! Whether you were impressed by the episode, disappointed, or simply depressed into oblivion, there’s no doubt that Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes knows how to pull at our heartstrings. So what’s going to happen next? Well, Shonda’s certainly not going to tell us, but she does answer a few of Michael Ausiello’s questions about the show and the finale.

The full interview can be read at Entertainment Weekly but here’s a few highlights:

• The last ten minutes of the season were pitched from the very beginning and were not a result of press rumors or contract negotiations.
• Shonda knows what “happens” with Izzie and George, but she’s not sharing. She’s also not telling us whether the actors themselves know.
• Shonda implies the reason we didn’t see a lot of George this season was because she didn’t want anyone to notice that he wasn’t really there in the season finale.
• Was that really the big MerDer wedding? Yes. It doesn’t look like there will be an “official” wedding between Meredith and Derek because the writers don’t envision Meredith walking down the isle. So Post-Its it is.
• They’ve not yet worked out what they’re going to do about Ellen Pompeo’s maternity leave.
• The writers are all on break until June.
• Is Jessica Capshaw back as a season regular? Contracts haven’t been signed yet, but Shonda states that she loves (looooves) Jessica and compares Callie/Arizona to Meredith/Derek in terms of romantic chemistry.
• Shonda’s really proud of the addition of Kevin McKidd and Jessica Capshaw to the show. As far as things she would’ve done differently: “That would mean I have to admit that we made some mistakes, and I’m not going to do that.” [Laughs].

So there you go, my friends. We’re not going to get the answers we really want any time soon, but we can always speculate about what’s to happen. We have a very long summer ahead of us and a lot of waiting to do.

I hope everyone’s strapped in, for season finale night is finally here! Grey’s Anatomy concludes its fifth season tonight with its final two episodes, which are airing back-to-back on ABC. Don’t forget to tune in for both! (As if you could forget!)

I’m opening the floor to thoughts, comments and questions about the finale, so feel free to drop your thoughts into the comment section. I’ll keep the main post free of spoilers so everyone has a chance to catch up on the episode without worrying about seeing something they shouldn’t. But the comments section will be laden with spoilers, so watch for those.

Tonight we should hopefully get some answers about what’s happening with Izzie. Or, they might just leave us hanging all summer. I really hope not. Will Katherine Heigl leave? Will she survive through a medical miracle? I don’t know! And T.R. Knight’s George – what will happen to him? We should hopefully have answers to that too.

MerDer should at least get their happily ever after. Well, I’m crossing my fingers for that.

If you’ve already seen the episode, drop your opinions into the comments and we’ll see what everyone has to say!

The season finale of Grey’s Anatomy is going down in a couple of days. We’ve got guest stars galore and what’s sure to be a mind-blowing episode chock-full of drama. The big question still remains: Is Izzie going to die? And … what’s gonna happen to George? Are both Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight heading for the exit door or is Shonda just trying to scare us? And then, of course, there’s also the question of MerDer and Hunt and Yang and Callie and Arizona and Lexie and Mark. What’s going to happen to our favorite couples come season’s end?

Well, we’ll hopefully find out during Thursday’s back-to-back airing of the last two episodes of the season. Can’t wait!

In the meantime, to help feed your impatience and addiction, here’s a whole bunch of sneak peeks and clips from episode 5.23 “Here’s to the Future.”

Enjoy!

If you’ve been waiting at the edge of your seat for the Shonda Rhimes edition of the 100th Episode Special Ask a Grey’s Anatomy cast/crew member, the wait is over. The head honcho herself sits down to answer fans’ most pressing questions about the show. Don’t expect her to give too much away, as we all know she hates spoilers, but a Q&A with the Exec Producer is never a bad thing.

Highlights:

• What’s your favorite of the 100 episodes? (She has a lot of them…)
• Will there be a Grey’s Anatomy movie? (Hadn’t even thought about it! Doesn’t think so. Never say never, though).
• After MerDer get married, what’s next? (She’s not going to tell us…)
• If you could have another acting legend guest star, who would it be? (She doesn’t know … we’ll see).
• The episode titles are song titles. What’s the significance? (The writers pick the songs and they sometimes pick them just because they like them, but they try to go with the theme of the episode).
• What shows do you watch when you’re not making Grey’s? (A lot of reality television – but shh, it’s a secret. Also addicted to Lost, and 30 Rock).

There’s only a few days left until the highly anticipated season finale of season five of Grey’s Anatomy. The last two episodes of the season are airing this Thursday starting at 9/8c on ABC, and the network is definitely counting on us tuning in. But for those that need a little more prodding, here’s another promo for what’s certain to be a drama-packed 2-hour event.

Are you ready for the finale?

By now I’m guessing you’ve all managed to watch the 100th episode of Grey’s Anatomy. No MerDer wedding after all, as most of us had known for a while. But a sweet moment for Izzie and Alex all the same. Did you enjoy the twist? Did you find it too predictable?

Whatever your thoughts, it’s likely you’re still looking forward to the last two episodes of the season, which will be airing back-to-back on May 14. And to keep you anticipating what’s to come, here’s a couple of promos of the 2-hour event.

For those of you looking to fill up your Thursday with all things Grey’s Anatomy here’s a few links to help you on your way toward total and complete overload.

• Sara Ramirez did a wonderful interview with AfterEllen. This is a must read for all SR/Callie fans. Four pages of goodness.
• ABC news is reporting that Grey’s Anatomy fans are going into a frenzy over the MerDer wedding. It seems like the wedding website and registry has been a huge success.

• PopRocks! Has listed Patrick Dempsey as #5 in their list of Top Five Hollywood comebacks.
• Variety has posted a list of the top ten most bizarre medical maladies concocted on Grey’s.

Enjoy your links, everyone. And if you’ve got any to share, feel free to tweet me! Or just hit me up the old fashioned way (email).
