In the Showtime comedy series “Weeds,” Elizabeth Perkins stars as Celia Hodes, the tough-talking frenemy of a drug-dealing soccer mom played by Mary-Louise Parker.

Perkins has played the complex character for four seasons, twice earning Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her work.

“Well, as an actress, you always want to play somebody who is ultimately really screwed up and evil and always sort of walking that really fine line and, you know, no holds barred,” Perkins told Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen. “But what’s great about it is that our creator has also infused her with vulnerability.”

The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences who bring us the Emmys every year have pre-released Top 10 lists of comedy and drama series in contention for the awards. The full nominees list will be out in a few weeks.

Weeds scored a spot on the comedy Top 10, along with HBO shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm and Entourage, both of which feel pretty irrelevant these days, and network series including Ugly Betty, The Office and Family Guy.

Five finalists from each category are expected to make the official list when the noms announced July 17. The Academy decided to do the pre-release because last year some of the info leaked ahead of time.

Elizabeth has blasted the myth the cast of drug comedy Weeds smoke real marijuana on-set - insisting producers supply them with a harmless “stunt herb”.

The star plays a suburban housewife with an illegal habit in the hit U.S. TV show.

She reveals the secret behind the substance that doubles for the drug: “It’s a combination of herbs that don’t get you stoned. If we smoked real weed, we wouldn’t get anything done over here.”

But Perkins insists the real drug is harmless and should be decriminalised: “I think it is crazy that it is illegal, and I think it is crazy that people are in jail once they get busted with small amounts of marijuana. I just don’t see it as that dangerous of a narcotic.”

What a amazing episode of Weeds last night and today I’ve added over 170 screen captures from the first Weeds episode. All them are in HQ (1280×720). Click on the link below to view all the added captures, as usual.
