Rainn Talks about Emmy

 

Everyone's favorite uptight, beet-farming paper salesman earned an Emmy nomination yesterday, and Rainn Wilson gave the scoop to E! online  on how he found out that he'd been nominated:

I was on the surface of the moon, and a carrier pigeon showed up from my publicist’s office. I don’t know how that happened, but I immediately jumped on the first shuttle back here to get on the phone and do some interviews...No, it was the standard [experience]. The only thing that was funny was the producer of the movie I’m filming right now in Toronto, he beat my publicist to the phone by, like, eight seconds. He was so thrilled to be the first to tell me. I think he’s going to be telling his grandchildren about how he was the first to tell Rainn Wilson that he got an Emmy nomination.

Aww! I would totally be psyched if I got to tell the actor who plays Dwight he was up for an Emmy. Which the real Dwight, by the way, wouldn't accept because he doesn't accept rewards or effusive thanks---you know, like the time Jim wanted to give him a reward for interfering with Roy's attack and so therefore made Dwight that certificate of bravery and Dwight wouldn't accept it, especially when he realized it was the same certificate the police gave out to little kids.

Ha! Damn, this show cracks me up.
