Timberlake Makes SNL History
Posted September 13, 2009, at 12:10 pm
Yay! The Envelope just revealed that JT has nabbed one of his Emmy nominations during Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmy presentation. Congrats JT, and don’t forget to enter the JT 4 Breakfast contest in honor of Justin’s Emmy nominations. Read the rules [HERE].
Six-time Grammy champ Justin Timberlake added a second Emmy to his shelf with his win as guest actor in a comedy series for hosting “Saturday Night Live.” In the first year that “SNL” hosts could contend for guest performer, Timberlake was the only one of the 22 to nab a nod.
The odds were against the 28-year-old Timberlake in this category. The guest acting awards have become the Emmy equivalent of the lifetime achievement honors. Indeed, the only guest comedy actor winner younger than him is 2005 champ Bobby Cannavale who was 34 when he prevailed for a recurring role on “Will & Grace.”
Timberlake is also in the race for another Emmy next Sunday with two songwriting bids for his efforts on “Motherlover” – a titillating tune he wrote for “SNL” – and the anthem “I Love Sports” penned for the 2008 Espy Awards. Timberlake won an Emmy in 2007 for his work on that devilish ditty “… in a Box” that went from “SNL” Digital Short to YouTube viral sensation.

I am so proud of Justin.
He just gets better and better.
Too bad he wasn’t there to receive the award.
I need to see him holding an Emmy in his hands.:)
Hopefully, we will see him next week on the Emmy telecast.
GO JT!
He deserved it!
Now he has GOT to win another one on Sunday as he’s been nominated twice in the same category!
