Katherine was the recipient of a richly deserved Emmy nomination for her wonderful performances on Grey's Anatomy this season. She received a nomination in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category when the Primetime Emmy Award Nominations were announced earlier today. Grey's Anatomy co-stars Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson were also nominated in the same field. The ABC medical show received 10 nominations in total, including one for Outstanding Drama Series.

Katie and best friend co-star T.R. Knight (who was also nominated in the best supporting actor category) had a slumber party in anticipation of this morning’s announcement, and when the moment came – they were rendered speechless.

"It's unbelievably thrilling. It's so nice after so many years to have a reason to go to the Emmy's and not to just be going for the sake of going. I'm pretty thrilled and grateful", Heigl told ABC.
