Grey's Anatomy cast accepts SAG award, minus
Washington

The cast of Grey's Anatomy accepted a Screen Actors Guild award for drama series ensemble on Sunday night in Los Angeles--minus cast member Isaiah Washington. The actor is in therapy for his use of an antigay slur. "It's about those 10 cast members sitting over there--and the other one in rehab," said Chandra Wilson, drawing laughter while accepting her SAG award for female actor in a dramatic series. Backstage at the Golden Globes two weeks ago, Washington denied that he called castmate T.R. Knight "faggot" during an on-set quarrel last October with costar Patrick Dempsey, when Knight was not present. Although Washington apologized publicly at the time, the issue boiled up again at the January 15 Globes, when the cast won the award for best drama series. He apologized last week for the remark at the Globes and announced he was entering therapy. The cast did not speak to reporters backstage at the SAG Awards ceremony. (Beth Harris, AP)
