Dear wOw Friends,

Break open the bubbly: wOw’s brilliant Sheila Nevins has been nominated for four Emmy Awards. One nomination is for outstanding children’s nonfiction program, for "Grandpa, Do You Know Who I Am? With Maria Shriver." She was nominated twice in the category of exceptional merit in nonfiction filmmaking, for "The Memory Loss Tapes" and "Section 60: Arlington National Cemetery." Her fourth nomination is in the category of outstanding nonfiction special for "The Alzheimer’s Project: Momentum in Science (Parts 1 and 2)." Sheila is an executive producer on all films.

The 61st Primetime Emmy Awards will air September 20 on ABC. We’ll be watching and rooting for our wOw woman (and, of course, our favorites in other categories). Click here for the complete list.

I have not seen all of Sheila’s productions, but I did see " Section 60: Arlington Cemetary" and was moved beyond words.  I watched it  several times on HBO and wish there was a DVD to purchase to send to my friends without cable.  Beautiful production Sheila, well done.  Congrats on the nominations.

Dear Women of WoW. I thank you for your kind words. Somewhere in the ether of blog there are good supporters and anonymous faces. WoWers have hearts and minds and I consider myself lucky to be a member of this fine club. xx Sheila
