Alas, although she had had her name put in for consideration, Britney Spears was not officially nominated for an Emmy for her guest roles on How I Met Your Mother. Do you think it was just a matter of narrowing it down or do you suppose some people didn’t like the idea of a singer with a recently troubled past having a shot at an acting award? Hard to say.
I do still believe that regardless of whether she gets a little gold statue or not, being on the show was one of the things that kept her going when so many other things were turned upside down. Had she blown the role, it would have been another story, but Britney got some great reviews for the guest appearances, so I feel like it was the one lone positive thing in her public career that wasn’t short circuiting.
Besides, maybe she’ll re-appear next season and have a shot at that Emmy next time!
