Kerry Washington is winning.
The “Django Unchained” actress just received her first ever Emmy nomination for her lead role in ABC’s hit political thriller series “Scandal.”
Washington will go head to head with Robin Wright of Netflix’s surprise hit “House of Cards,” Vera Farmiga of “Bates Hotel,” Connie Britton of “Nashville,” Claire Danes of “Homeland,” Michelle Dockery of “Downton Abbey,” and Elisabeth Moss of “Mad Men.”
Stiff competition, but nothing crisis manager Olivia Pope can’t manage.
In her personal life, Washington is remaining quiet on her secret June 24 nuptials to NFL pro Nnamdi Asomugha in Hailey, Idaho.
A staple on social networking site Twitter since her hit show “Scandal” took the site by storm, Washington took a noticeable hiatus one week before her wedding. Fans were likely waiting with bated breath for the actress to return with news of her wedding, even if she only changed her profile to confirm the nuptials. No such luck.
Earlier this week, Washington returned to Twitter and addressed her millions of followers, “It’s great being back and I love reading all your tweets, but FYI, I still don’t talk about my personal life on here.”
Washington later added, “I seriously love you guys!” Bummer.
It turns out Washington wasn’t biased against keeping her fans and the media out of her wedding, even friends of the actress had to reckon with being left out. A source revealed to US magazine, that the actress “told her friends who found out in the news not to take it personally.”
Maybe they will luck out and receive an invite to the house-warming party. Another source told the tabloid that the newlyweds are renovating Washington’s West Hollywood condo to it make their new home.
“It’s their first home together!” Adding, “They’re doing great. . . They’re both very intelligent, good people and are a perfect match.”
Do you think Kerry Washington is right to keep her private life away from her adoring fans?
