Probably the best acceptance speech I’ve ever seen. Kiefer Sutherland pokes fun at the weird-looking trophy saying it will come in handy at the bar later and then tells all the 24 fans that “You guys fuckin’ rock” while flipping the bird. We love you too, Kiefer!

Kiefer Sutherland will be on Spike TV’s Guy Choice Awards 10PM tonight – he won the “Biggest Ass Kicker” award. No competition there, Jack Bauer rocks!

Carlos Bernard’s (24‘s Tony Almeida) new comedy series Scoundrels premieres on ABC tonight at 9PM.

It’s followed by Marisol Nichols (24‘s Nadia Yassir, Season 6) new drama series The Gates at 10PM and also on ABC.

The 2010 Teen Choice Award nominees were announced and 24 is up for 4 awards.

24 was nominated for “Choice TV Show: Action” (with Burn Notice, Chuck, Human Target, and NCIS: Los Angeles). Kiefer Sutherland was nominated for “Choice TV Actor: Action” (alongside Jeffrey Donovan of Burn Notice, Zachary Levi of Chuck, LL Cool J of NCIS: Los Angeles, and Mark Valley of Human Target).

Both Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe O’Brian) and Katee Sackhoff (Dana Walsh) were nominated for “Choice TV Actress: Action” (alongside Gabrielle Anwar of Burn Notice, Daniela Ruah of NCIS: Los Angeles, and Yvonne Strahovski of Chuck).

Cherry Jones has sent LA Times an email to set the record straight and explain her decision not to submit herself for an Emmy this year. Unlike speculation, it’s not because of any drama with the writers or her storylines. Here’s her full email:

Hey Tom,

Cherry Jones here writing from balmy Manhattan. I wanted to clear up the mystery surrounding my not submitting myself for Emmy consideration.

I love and adore everyone I worked with on “24″ and am actively missing them.

I relished playing poor old Allison Taylor’s descent into Logan Hell. Like all actors on “24″ who realize their characters are being sent to the Dark Side, I resisted at first and then, of course, realized what a seductive playground the Dark Side presents for a dramatic actor.

This job has offered me time with my elderly parents, given me new lifelong friends, a bank account, and the memory of last year’s Emmy night which was one hell of a delicious ride. So honestly it never occurred to me (or my two agents who know me well) to submit me this year. One of the lessons in life is to know when to leave well enough alone and be grateful.

I will however be watching the Emmy’s from New York this year and rooting for all my “24″ team and the other actors I’ve had the pleasure to get to know in Hollywood during my West Coast baptism.

I genuinely appreciate your interest and hope you will find the space to clear up the assumption which was being made….which, as my old movement teacher used to say, was “exactly wrong.”

Thanks so much, Tom.

Warmly,
Cherry

LOS ANGELES, CA – JUNE 05: Actor Kiefer Sutherland receives the Biggest Ass Kicker Award onstage during Spike TV’s 4th Annual ‘Guys Choice Awards’ held at Sony Studios on June 5, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. ‘Guys Choice’ premieres June 20, 2010 at 10PM ET/PT on Spike.

Ooh, drama. In a surprising move, Cherry Jones (24‘s President Allison Taylor, who won best supporting actress in a drama last year) has pulled out of the Emmy race and is refusing to comment on the matter.

Jones didn’t seem all that pleased about the direction her character took in the final episodes, telling Entertainment Weekly in an interview last month “President Taylor lost her marbles” and “Each script I got, I’d look at it and go, ‘Really? REALLY?’”.

Despite Taylor’s sudden behavior shift (which was necessary for the final storyline arc to work), I believe Cherry put on a great performance. Cherry certainly had Emmy-quality acting material in 24 Season 8.

Cherry Jones interviewed on the 24 set. She talks about what it’s like working on the show and we also get to see her post-Emmy win speech to the crew. Such a nice lady!

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.

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.
