The much-anticipated third season of Shonda Rhimes’ hit ABC drama Scandal, premieres on October 3rd, 2013, less than 2 months away. Excited Gladiators?

By the way, star Kerry Washington is nominated for a Primetime Emmy in the Lead Actress In A Drama Series category – her first Emmy nomination ever, and the first time a black actress has been nominated in that specific category (Lead Actress In A Drama Series) since the 1994-95 season, when Cicely Tyson was nominated for her work in the NBC legal drama series Sweet Justice.

Will Kerry win this year’s trophy in that category? Find out when the Primetime Emmys air on Sunday, September 22, on CBS.
