“The producers have asked me to give a special shout-out to our previous lead actress winners who are watching from prison,” said voiceover commentator Thomas Lennon about halfway through the Emmys
star is the first to be sentenced among the more than 30 parents indicted in the wide spread effort of wealthy families to get their children into top schools using underhanded methods.Still out on the $250,000 bail bond with strict travel restrictions that she agreed to in mid-March before a federal judge in L.A., the Oscar nominee doesn’t actual surrender to Bureau of Prisons officials on October 25 to begin serving her time in a California facility.
All of which makes Lennon’s snipe more a blight on the floundering 2019 Emmys on Fox than it is on Huffman. Once looking at 20 years incarceration for having “made a purported charitable contribution of $15,000 to participate in the college entrance exam cheating scheme on behalf of her eldest daughter,” according to the lengthy March 6 indictment, Huffman may not even end up sitting in a cell for two weeks if good behavior and other factors are taken into account by the BoP next month.
To be totally factual, unlike the Emmy producers and writers, the repeatedly apologetic Huffman was also given a year’s probation, 250 hours of community service and told to pay a fine of $30,000 by Judge Indira Talwani week before last – maybe the Emmys can make that go away for her too like they did the timing of her sentence.
