What are the chances that the Elf producers will petition Amy Spanger for leading since Beth Leavel will be featured?

Though Amy gets second billing, Beth's role is actually larger.

I don't think Scott has a shot at scoring a nomination. I think Miller, Murphy, and Foster though will certainly be on the list.

True ljay, but most of Amy's stuff happens solo or just with Sebastian. Most of Beth's stuff is with Matthew Gumley or Mark Jacoby (a.k.a. the featured characters). Amy really has a solo song and she gets the second to last bow. If they are going to petition one, I'm pretty sure it'd be Amy.

Amy doesn't get the second to last bow, George Wendt does.

It doesn't matter, though. No one from Elf is being petitioned anywhere because no one from Elf is getting nominated. No one will remember Elf in May when the nominations come out.

And this is coming from a huge fan of Elf.

I agree about it not getting nominated, adamgreer, but eligibility does not automatically correspond to nominations. I am genuinely curious what the producers will try to petition.

And yes, I forgot about George Wendt. (I could have sworn when I saw the show again last week that Amy came out after George, but I am clearly remembering incorrectly.)

What a sad season.... And we thought last season was bad.
