The TV Academy is considering changing the nomination process for the Emmy Awards following a wave of protest at Ellen Burstyn's nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie - a performance which embarrassingly turned out to be all of 11 seconds.
Burstyn played the role of Ex-Lover #3 in a TV movie called Mrs Harris, and was fairly nominated.
But the Emmy voters obviously didn't research the performance very well, as Burstyn only appeared on screen for 11 seconds in total.
A forum poster on the LA Times may have been accurate with the following post:
"She was in a flashback sequence and had two lines about her past affair with Ben Kingsley's character," wrote 'BabsonLacrosse'.
"To me, it's obvious the voters simply looked at the ballot, saw Ms. Burstyn's name, recognized her as a respected famous actress, and nominated her for this performance that isn't even big enough to classify as a cameo."
The Emmys clearly don't have a minimum screentime guideline, which they plan to address after the Burstyn Bomb.
