Emmy nominations came out Thursday, and buzz is growing around the fact that Katie Holmes is absent from the list.
The producer of miniseries The Kennedys tells The Hollywood Reporter that he's feeling "vindicated" now that the series got 10 noms -- more than the entire History Channel, which suddenly dropped the series in January after a campaign from the Kennedy family opposing it. Reelz Channel then picked up the The Kennedys and aired the series.
But while Greg Kinnear, Barry Pepper and Tom Wilkinson all got Emmy noms for playing JFK, Bobby Kennedy and Joe Kennedy respectively, Katie Holmes got no recognition for her performance as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
The producer, Michael Prupas, told THR he was "disappointed" by the absence of a nomination for Katie. “I thought Katie did a great job of interpreting what Jackie was," he said.
