2008 Emmys
Emmy nominations are out. I have...a lot to say about them, but not here.
Here are the nominations for Outstanding Stunt Coordination:
Chuck • Chuck Versus The Undercover Lover • NBC • From College Hill Pictures, Wonderland Sound and Vision in association with Warner Bros. Television
Merritt Yohnka, Stunt Coordinator
Criminal Minds • Tabula Rasa • CBS • ABC Studios and CBS Paramount Network Television
Tom Elliott, Stunt Coordinator
CSI: NY • Playing With Matches • CBS • CBS Paramount Network Television in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television
Norman Howell, Stunt Coordinator
NCIS • Requiem • CBS • A Belisarius production in association with CBS Paramount Network Television
Diamond Farnsworth, Stunt Coordinator
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles • Gnothi Seauton • FOX • C2 Pictures in association with Warner Bros. Television

Of note: Norman Howell did stunts in both Death Proof and Planet Terror.
Also of note: are there any female stunt coordinators for TV shows? I know they're pretty rare on the ground overall; I wonder if maybe there might be more opportunity in television than in movies for women to coordinate, especially if you end up working long-term on a show in which there are a lot of women who do stunts, i.e. Shauna Duggins. She was Jennifer Garner's double on Alias and now coordinates for Brothers & Sisters.
I also think it's interesting of the list that all of the shows are ones that don't primarily feature men doing stunts (as in a show like, say, The Unit). In fact, in Chuck and Terminator, you're more likely to find women doing the stunts. Encouraging?
