Sara Gilbert’s quote sounds prophetic in hindsight as there’s no other way she could’ve known what was coming weeks down the stretch.
If nothing else, the quote showed that Gilbert had the right mindset going into award season, as ET Online reports Roseanne may be overlooked by the Television Academy when the ballots open for nominations Monday, June 11.
