A press release in our inbox alerting us to the upcoming nomination announcements for the 33rd Annual People's Choice Awards isn't typically the sort of thing we would bother mentioning, regardless of how thrilled we may be at the prospect of George Lopez getting the popular recognition he so richly deserves as one of America's Favorite Television Actors. But something about the lineup chosen to read this year's nominees struck us as noteworthy:

MEDIA ALERT

ISAIAH WASHINGTON, KATE WALSH, NEIL PATRICK HARRIS AND ALYSON HANNIGAN
TO ANNOUNCE THE 33RD ANNUAL PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS NOMINATIONS

Tuesday, November 7, 2006

That, of course, would be Isaiah "Dr. McChokey" Washington, of Grey's Anatomy, whose feelings on faggots, and the chokeworthy company they keep, is well documented. And who could forget How I Met Your Mother's Neil Patrick "Not of that persuasion" Harris, who, despite his publicist's alleged claims to the contrary, may want to stand out of arms' length of the hot-headed homo-hater as he reads off a teleprompter about Adam Sandler's nod for his superlative work on Click. And while Washington's thoughts on female faggots—aka lesbians—have yet to be expressed, we'd recommend for safety's sake that both Hannigan (who explored her Sapphic Wiccan side on Buffy The Vampire Slayer), and Walsh (who did the girl-on-girl grind with her Grey's co-star Sandra Oh in Under The Tuscan Sun) do the same.
