OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma-born actresses Kristin Chenoweth and Jeanne Tripplehorn received Emmy nominations Thursday.

Tripplehorn, a Tulsa native, was nominated for outstanding supporting actress in a miniseries or movie for her portrayal as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the HBO movie "Grey Gardens."
