You'll be surprised to know that these 11 actors have never won an Emmy

5:31 AM |

Emmys For any actor winning an award of this calibre is the pinnacle of their career, but for many small screen stars the winged statuette has eluded them.

We were totally shocked when we found out these actors never won an Emmy.

Steve Carell

Funnyman Steve Carrell was nominated six years in a row for his role in The Office as Michael Scott, but never managed to bag a win.

Hugh Laurie

Nominated a whopping six times for the absolutely brilliant portrayal of the very sharp Dr Gregory House, Laurie just didn’t make the cut.

Jon Hamm

For his role as Don Draper in Mad Men and a guest appearance on 30 Rock, Jon got nominated nine times yet the statute still eludes him.

Amy Poehler

One of our all time favourite actresses has lost out seven times. Amy has been nominated for her roles in SNL and Parks and Recreation. Here’s hoping she strikes it lucky this time around.

Angela Lansbury
Possibly the biggest shocker on the list! One of TV’s most brilliant stars, Lansbury received 18 Emmy nominations - 12 of them for playing Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote. Despite winning five Tonys and six Golden Globes, she has never won an Emmy.

Kim Cattrall

Deep down every woman who watched Sex and The City wanted to have a bit of Samantha in her. Her co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon bagged the award. However, despite being nominated five times an Emmy never came her way.

Michael C Hall

For playing the serial killer with a conscience on Dexter, Michael C Hall was nominated for an Emmy every year since 2008 making the tally six in total. He has not managed to wrap up an Emmy win, yet.

Ed O'Neill and Katy Segal

TV’s most loved couple, Al Bundy and Peggy Bundy, who were totally awesome in Married with Children have both never won an Emmy. Ed and Katy went on to do some brilliant acting in Modern Family and Sons of Anarchy respectively. Ed has been nominated thrice for his role in Modern Family. Katy on the other hand has never even been nominated for an Emmy.

Phylicia Rashad

Best known for her role as Claire Huxtable in The Cosby Show, it is hard to believe that she was nominated twice for playing the matriarch. She received another Emmy nod in 2008 for her role in A Raisin in the Sun, but again did not win.

Jerry Seinfeld

Another big surprise! In 2013 TV Guide ranked Seinfeld as the greatest TV show of our time. The show itself was nominated a whopping 68 times of which it only won 10 times. The star of the show has been nominated five times but has never taken home an Emmy. This will go down as one of TV’s biggest mysteries.

Justin Bieber Booed At Billboard Music Awards

Justin Bieber Booed
Justin Bieber was booed at the Billboard Music Awards, despite winning two awards and performing twice.
The "Beauty and the Beat" singer was accepting the Milestone Award when the crowd seemed to erupt in boos. Looking a bit confused, Bieber went on to assert that he thinks only the "craft" and his music should be considered, arguing that "none of the other bull" mattered. While it's unclear what Bieber was referencing, he has had a number of bad public relations moments as of late, having lost his temper with the paparazzi in London and being caught smoking marijuana.
"This is not a gimmick," Bieber said. "I’m an artist and I should be taken seriously.”
Bieber beat out a number of other artists, including Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift for the award. The Milestone Award was actually Bieber’s second trophy of the night. He also took home “Top Male Artist.”
It's unfortunately not the first time Bieber has been booed. He's previously encountered a similar reaction at a Canadian Football Game, a New York Knicks basketball game and at one of his own concerts, where he arrived hours late.
Other wild moments from the evening included Miguel coming up short on a jump move and landing on an audience member's neck, Nicki Minaj giving Lil Wayne a lapdance and Prince closing out the show with a killer performance.

Miguel's Jumps On Fan's Neck At Billboard Music Awards

2:49 AM |
Miguel Jump Kick Fail
The Billboard Music Awards isn't always the jazziest award show of the year, but Sunday's program featured at least one standout moment. R&B crooner Miguel jump kicked from one part of the stage to another during his performance of "Adorn," falling more than a bit short and landing on an audience member's head and/or neck.

Miguel adressed the incident on Twitter, noting that he "got caught up in the moment."

Miguel
got caught up in the moment, thank goodness Khyati is okay
Billboard writer Erika Ramirez assured viewers that the audience member was OK:

e.
The girl Miguel accidentally hurt is okay. She was seen backstage w/ him (holding an ice pack).


e.
... she even said "I adorn him."
