24 Spoilers

Cherry Jones role in 24 season 7 was nominated for Best “Supporting Actress in Series, Miniseries/Motion Picture Made for TV” at the 14th Annual Satellite Awards – the very same category that Cherry won an Emmy for earlier this year. Here’s hoping she has a repeat performance.

Cherry’s competition is Jane Lynch (Glee), Judy Parfitt (Little Dorrit), Chloe Sevigny (Big Love), Anika Noni Rose (The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency), and Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty).

24’s Shohreh Aghdashloo (who played Dina Araz in the fourth season) was also nominated for best actress in a drama for The Stoning of Soraya M.

The Satellite Awards winners will be announced on December 20th.

Cherry Jones and Howard Gordon were interviewed at FOX’s Emmy After Party regarding her Emmy win and the upcoming eighth season of the show. Former 24 director and executive producer Jon Cassar was also there to congratulate his old pals.

Executive Producer and writer Howard Gordon said “the moment I saw her first set of dailies, I knew this would happen”. Jon Cassar says he “couldn’t be happier for Cherry, she just did such a great job on our show in season 7 and I think if anyone deserves it, she definitely did.”

Cherry reveals that they’re ten episodes into the season and President Taylor’s family situation hasn’t come up yet, but it may in the back half of the season. She enjoys working with Slumdog Millionaire’s Anil Kapoor who her character is “locked in deep diplomacy with” at the United Nations. “We’ve had a lot of fun together, he’s a lovely man” says Jones.

Although Kiefer Sutherland (nominated for 24: Redemption) unfortunately lost out to Brian Gleeson (Into The Storm) in the “Outstanding Lead Actor In A Miniseries Or A Movie” category, he still had a presence at the Emmys. Kiefer took the stage alongside Fringe’s Anna Torv to present the award for made for Television movie.

And of course, Cherry Jones had a triumphant win for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama series.

Thanks to Kiefersangel for the Kiefer Sutherland pictures.

Cherry Jones won her very first Emmy tonight. Here’s the video:

More soon.

Michael Ausiello had a chance to interview Katee Sackhoff last night at the Entertainment Weekly and Women In Film’s 2009 Pre-Emmy Party. The interview is entirely about 24 season 8 and although Katee kept her lips sealed on plot specifics, she did share a funny story about working alongside Mary Lynn Rajskub.

There’s also some pictures of Katee on the purple carpet from the event over at her website.

Actress Cherry Jones has been interviewed by New York Times regarding her very first Emmy nomination – “Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series” for her portrayal of President Allison Taylor in the seventh season of 24.

You’ve said you never watched “24” before you joined the series. Do you consider yourself a fan of the show now?

Completely I’m such fan! I never, ever thought I would do anything that was violent; I just hated violent things. And when I got the call to come meet [“24” creator] Joel Surnow and the gang out there I thought, ‘Well this just isn’t going to work.’ And then I rented the first season and watched the first couple of episodes and I was riveted. I loved it! And I thought, ‘Well it would be hypocritical of me to turn down something I love.’

Of course, some of the violence I just loathe. They made certain choices, certainly last season, that I wish they hadn’t made in terms of violence that I thought tipped over into really gratuitous, grotesque violence. At least my president was firmly against torture.
