Stargate’s Primetime Emmy Nominations

Stargate fans have some cheering on to do at this year’s 63rd Annual Emmy Awards!

Stargate Universe VFX Team

The VFX team who brought the alien species Ursini to life and introduced us to the Stargate-manufacturing Seed Ship in Stargate Universe‘s “Awakening,” have been nominated in the “Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series” category. The team members include:

• Mark David Savela, Visual Effects Supervisor
• Craig VandenBiggelaar, Digital Effects Supervisor
• Adam de Bosch Kemper, Lead Animator
• Krista McLean, Digital Effects Supervisor
• Luke Vallee, Key Visual Effects Compositor
• Erica Henderson, Lead Compositor
• Michael Lowes, Lead 3D Artists
• Wes Sargent, Key 3D Artist
• Kodie MacKenzie, Key Visual Effects Compositor

Congratulations, VFX Team!

Veteran Stargate Actor Beau Bridges

Congratulations are also in order for Beau Bridges, who was nominated in the “Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series” category for his recurring guest role as Nick Brody in ABC’s Brothers and Sisters. Unfortunately, we won’t get to see more of Nick’s story since the show was not renewed for a sixth season.

Bridges has recently made two more guest appearances on other primetime shows that hold promise for recurring: Leonard Franklin in TNT’s Franklin & Bash (recently aired) and Agent Kramar in the upcoming midseason finale of USA’s White Collar (August 9). Even if these roles are not recurring, Bridges may still be nominated just like he was for his single guest appearance as Eli Scruggs in ABC’s Desperate Housewives a few years ago.
