Gina Wilhelm Actress - Evangeline Lilly

Evangeline Lilly, star of ABC's "Lost," is on "Late Night with David Letterman" tonight, May 10, on CBS at 11:35 p.m.

Actress Falco Rewarded for her Funny Side

Gina Wilhelm Actress - Actress Falco Rewarded for her Funny Side

Edie Falco always considered herself a dramatic actress. While there were funny bits in "The Sopranos," the show was considered a drama.

Likewise, she's been praised on stage for roles in shows like "'Night, Mother," "Side Man," and "Frankie and Johnnie in the Clair de Lune."

In fact, when she read the first draft of the script for her Showtime program "Nurse Jackie," there were few laughs to be had.

So Falco is still surprised when she finds herself nominated for best comedy actress awards. Already she's been nominated for a Golden Globe, a Satellite Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award for the show.

Executive producers Linda Wallem and Liz Brixius revamped the show as a dark comedy. "The idea that it's a comedy? I still struggle with that," Falco admits.

Emmy Rossum Declared a Good Actress

Gina Wilhelm Actress - Emmy Rossum Declared a Good Actress

Emmy Rossum was given the Young Hollywood Award at the Savannah Film Festival in Georgia on Monday.

President of Savannah College of Art and Design Paula Wallace presented the award, pointing out Rossum's range.

Wallace said that Rossum could go from playing a "knife-throwing ninja warrior goddess in 'Dragonball Evolution'" to the art-house movie "Dare," which was shown at the film festval.

A video montage showed highlights from Rossum's career, from which Rossum said she learned a lot about herself.

"Dare" was shot in six weeks, and Rossum thought it might never "see the light of day." Instead, it opens November 13.

Previously, Rossum had earned a Golden Globe Award nomination and the National Board of Review's Best Female Breakthrough Performance Award for her performance in "The Phantom of the Opera."
