Edie Falco, nominated at the Emmy Awards for lead actress in a comedy series for Showtime’s ‘Nurse Jackie,’ seemed relaxed about the impending telecast only moments before airtime. The fourth season of the series hasn’t begun shooting yet, she said, and being at the ceremony gave her an opportunity to see her colleagues in advance of filming. ‘I miss my friends and I’m excited to see them.’

Falco said she wasn’t rooting for any other programs, since most of the ones she watches ‘aren’t gonna be here tonight,’ she smiled. Indeed, cast members from Falco’s admitted favorite shows -- ‘The First 48’ and ‘Househunters International’ -- were nowhere to be found on the red carpet.
