From @BigBang_CBS:

>> Bill Prady: “there will be a resolution & we think whichever way you came down on something that’s the way it works out.”

>> Cast fav moments — Kunal: “when we had to learn the bollywood dance and learn the song. I got yelled at by the teacher.”
>> Fav moments — Simon: “I enjoyed wrestling w/ kunal on & off camera. I like putting the unitard on – very convenient piece of clothing”

From @TVGuide:

>> Chuck Lorre: “Mayim is a very sexual actress. She’s a very dirty, dirty girl. Full-frontal nudity this year.” He’s kidding…
>> Bill Prady says Sheldon’s kiss with Wolowitz’s mom doesn’t count. Amy is his real first kiss.
>> “Cheers brought people to alcoholism. TBBT brought people to science,” says Chuck Lorre
From @Jimmy722:
>> Jim Parsons didn’t try to make Sheldon sympathetic, but he’s always felt human and empathetic to him as an actor “he’s a lovely fella”

Pleased to congratulate the Cast & Crew of The Big Bang Theory for their Emmy nominations this year!
1. Outstanding Comedy Series – The Big Bang Theory
2. Outstanding Actor in a Comedy – Jim Parsons
3. Outstanding Actor in a Comedy – Johnny Galecki

On this season of “The Big Bang Theory,” we had the opportunity more than ever before to see Mayim Bialik get to know all of the cast as her character of scientist Amy. The former “Blossom” star does bring a different sort of energy to the cast — she is the only actor to actually be a scientist in real life, and she actually has some sort innate understanding about some of her material even while reading the scripts for the first time.
However, Mayim is also quick to dish out compliments when it comes to the people who work on this hit CBS show behind the scenes:
“I don’t think I’ve met a smarter group of people who hang out together, possibly ever, even in graduate school, than our writers and producers.”Mayim has yet to start filming this coming season, and there is one event that she is looking forward to first and that is her first-ever trip with the cast to Comic-Con in San Diego:“I’m a pretty quiet person. I think it’s going to be a lot of people. But I think it will be fun. I’m glad to be able to go with the cast. I’m friendly with the people that I work with, which is nice, so we get to do it together.”
The Big Bang Theory actress is on to something when she calls out the ubiquity of Slave Leia costumes at Star Wars conventions. Cosplayers and Comic-Con attendees, listen up: There are plenty more ladies with perfectly hewn braids to imitate.
If you pack an extra tanktop and pair of shorts, you can turn your Slave Leia getup into a Lara Croft costume — and you can keep the braid. Star Wars geeks are most persnickety about hairstyling, of course.
Here are the photos from cast & crew twitter accounts.

We at ImBatman.org would like to congratulate Jim Parsons on his win!

At the inaugural Critics Choice TV Awards, the critics were mad about Mad Men, which won for best drama, as well as acting honors for Christina Hendricks and Jon Hamm.
Creator Matt Weiner accepted by saying he thinks of himself as a TV critic at the event, held at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
“Like a TV critic, I’m a champion of the underdog,” he said.
Accepting best comedy for Modern Family, exec producer Steve Levitan said he was lucky to work with a great cast, great writers and a great network.
Danny DeVito accepted the icon award by saying It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has given him “a new lease on life.”
“People might think TV critics are mindless parasites,” said DeVito, “but this proves you are not.”
The show was hosted by Cat Deeley and airs Thursday on ReelzChannel. It streamed live on VH1.
