Chandra Wilson defends Katherine Heigl

TCA -- ... on her "Grey's Anatomy" co-worker's decision not to submit her performance for Emmy consideration:

"All actors have to do that exactly same thing every year. The public at large doesn't understand it's not about your body of works. It can't be something in the middle. You can have a great seasonal arc, but if you don't have that show that's your show, then it's not the right thing for the category. It was amazing to me the way it got blown out of proportion. Some years I submit, some years I don't."

Wilson was on a Hallmark Channel panel at TCA for her upcoming movie called "Accidental Friendship" (awww...)
