Julianne Hough turns 20 on Sunday, but her birthday isn’t the only thing she has to celebrate. (If she was blowing out her candles and wishing for an Emmy... she's getting closer!) She has up an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Choreography, recognizing a mambo she put together for dance partner Adam Carolla on the ABC show "Dancing With The Stars."
Her competition in the category includes routines from the Disney Channel’s High School Musical 2 and three different entries from So You Think You Can Dance.
Julianne’s nomination was just one of eight extended by the Television Academy to Dancing With The Stars. Tom Bergeron is a finalist for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program, and the entire show was recognized for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program. The remaining five "Dancing" nominations came for technical categories in lighting, production and hairstyling.
The Academy will present the Emmys in Los Angeles Sept. 21. Assuming Julianne plans to be there, she’ll have to do some heavy traveling to make it work. She plays the prior night in West Palm Beach on Brad Paisley’s Paisley Party Tour.
