Christina Applegate has spoken about being nominated for an Emmy this year, saying that the honour is bittersweet.

Christina starred in comedy ‘Samantha Who’, which has since been cancelled. She is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in Comedy Series and told E! Entertainment:

“This year’s nomination means more to me than ever before. I’m incredibly happy and honored. Certainly it’s bittersweet—we no longer get to do the show that we love so much, but that doesn’t take away from the excitement and honor of this nomination. This is a wonderful recognition of what we created together every week.”

US TV network ABC have cancelled Christina Applegate’s Samantha Who.

Fans and critics of the show seemed sure it would be awarded a third season however according to The Hollywood Reporter the show has been permanently axed.

The axe fell after the show failed to cut its budget enough for the network to bring it back.

The series was a strong performer when it aired on Monday nights in 2007, but the ratings fell when the show was moved to Thursday nights last season.
