In 2007, show-business awards reporter Tom O'Neil commented that Pompeo was overdue an Emmy Award nomination for her role in "Grey's Anatomy". Readers of O'Neil's awards website, "The Envelope", included Pompeo in their 2009 nominations for Best Drama Actress in the site's Gold Derby TV Awards. "Entertainment Weekly" launched the EWwy Awards in 2008, to honor actors who have not received Emmy nominations. Pompeo was nominated in the Best Actress in a Drama Series category, and placed fourth, with 19 percent of readers' votes.
