Supporting Actress win at last year's Emmy awards, "Grey�s Anatomy" star, Katherine Heigl, has said "no thanks" to an Emmy award nomination this year for her role as Dr Izzie Stevens on the show, citing that her performance on the recent season was not deserving of one. <br /><br />Heigl had quietly chosen to not submit her name for consideration this year, but her absence was soon noticed by columnist for the Los Angeles Times' showbiz awards website TheEnvelope.com, Tom 'Neil.<br /><br />"I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination, and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention," Heigl responded in a statement to queries from O'Neil.<br /><br />"In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials."<br /><br />While this move has been seen as honourable by some, Heigl has also been accused of being ungrateful, especially to the writers and producers of Grey's.<br /><br />Expressing regret over the star's move, a key Grey's insider told EW.com, "The show bent over backwards to accommodate her film schedule, and then she criticises the show for lack of material."<br /><br />"It's an ungrateful slap in the face to the very writers responsible for her Emmy win in the first place," said the insider.<br /><br />However, this is not the first time that straight shooting Heigl, who was last seen in romantic comedy "27 Dresses", has ruffled some feathers.<br /><br />The outspoken Heigl commented at one point that ex Grey's co-star Isaiah Washington "needs to just not speak in public", when he and another co-star of TR Knight clashed last year over Washington's alleged use of a homophobic slur.<br /><br />Also, in a Vanity Fair magazine interview, Heigl called "Knocked Up", the film that she shot to fame in, "a little sexist" and said that it painted women as "shrews, as humourless and uptight," while the male characters were lovable and goofy.<br /><br />Interestingly enough, Heigl is not the first person in the history of the Emmy's to pull out from the race. Other veteran actors such as Bill Cosby ("The Cosby Show, "The Bill Cosby Show," "I Spy") and Candice Bergen ("Murphy Brown") did the same, though they had bowed out after feeling they had won enough times and should give others a shot.<br /><br />Heigl has only had one win which was seen as an upset as she beat out Grey�s co-stars, Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson.<br /><br />Nominations for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards will be announced July 17. The ceremony will be held on September 21.<br /><br />- CNA/os<br /></span> </p> </p> <p> </p></td> </tr><tr><td valign="top"> </td><br /><td colspan="2" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0"
