Jamie Oliver Reacts to the "Revolution" Nomination

ABC just released this statement to me from Jamie Oliver regarding the Emmy nomination for “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution”:

“This is incredible news! Even to be nominated is such an honor, and such a pat on the back for the TV and Campaign teams and for the good people of Huntington, WV, for all their hard work. Balancing programme making with a real live campaign is always a challenge, so everyone involved should take this nomination as an encouragement to keep on fighting the good fight!”

The network also gave me this statement from Ryan Seacrest, who is one of the show’s executive producers and was also nominated for his work as the host of “American Idol":

“I am honored that the Academy chose to recognize my work on ‘American Idol’ and ‘Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution’ – two projects that I am both deeply devoted to. ‘Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution’ has inspired so many Americans affected by obesity while ‘American Idol’ has inspired millions to go after their dreams. I feel lucky to have been part of such moving programming and it has been an incredible experience to contribute to both shows.”
