Ellen Pompeo: 'Grey's Anatomy' Star Blasts Emmy's as 'Embarrassing'

Ellen Pompeo is the latest star to blast the Primetime Emmy Awards, Jezebel reported Tuesday.

Pompeo took the September 22 telecast to task for lacking diversity. She found it to be too white and was not find of the dance routines . The Grey's Anatomy believed the show was racist and embarrassing.

"I didn't see any diversity in the Emmys at all. The Emmys felt so dated to me... That dance number was embarrassing. Did you see one person of color in that dance number?" She went on: "I'm extremely proud of [Grey's Anatomy's] very, very diverse cast, which represents the world that I walk around in every day," she told USA Today.

Pompeo is not the only one to fault the show which aired on CBS. Larry Hagman's son, Preston, expressed disappointment of his own. He was upset that his father was essentially snubbed during the telecast and did not receive a stand alone segment as other stars did.

"I think if they're gonna do a memorial for the Emmys, I think that they should spend more time on that segment," he said. "I think the total of the Emmy segment was probably 20 minutes that they did. So if they're gonna do it, they should do it all. If they're not going to do it, then do it all the same. At the same time, I understand it's very hard for the Emmys to choose what they want," Preston said.
