Chenoweth, a Broken Arrow native, received an outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series nod for her work on "Pushing Daisies," which was canceled after two seasons on ABC.

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."

There are other Oklahoma ties among the nominees for the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards, which will be handed out Sept. 20 in Los Angeles. Holly Hunter received an outstanding lead actress in a drama nod for playing Oklahoma City police detective Grace Hanadarko on "Saving Grace." The series is now in its third season on TNT.
