Spoilers are raining down from every which way lately and it doesn’t look like anyone is backing off any time soon. The latest from Ausiello answers one of the Big Questions we’ve been wondering: Do Meredith and Derek get married this season?

In addition, there’s a bit more on George’s upcoming storyline. For serious, he gets one!

And what’s going to happen with Cristina and Hunt?

Find out after the jump!

**Spoilers**

So first things first: The Wedding. Ausiello confirms that it’s happening in the 100th episode, which airs on May 7 (this was originally rumored but now seems pretty official). The big news is that it is not going to be Meredith and Derek. Most of you have been guessing Izzie and Alex, and that would be my next guess. No confirmations on that yet.

In other news, T.R. Knight is getting more screen time. He’ll be a key player in helping Dr. Hunt get back on track. “Hunt [will start to] see something in George that no one else has,” McKidd revealed. “There’s an event that happens and [Hunt] realizes there’s a lot more to him… that he has a set of skills that maybe he isn’t even aware of. And Hunt starts to mentor him in a way that gets really interesting.”

Ausiello is proposing that this “really interesting” thing might be that George gets a one-way ticket to the military and gets shipped off to Iraq.

And finally, will Cristina and Hunt ever get it on? McKidd answers: “A lot happens this week,” he said. “I think they’ve drawn that one out a lot, and I know people are getting frustrated. I think it’s good because they’ve really connected on a mental and emotional level. And now I think it’s time they connect physically.”

By “connect physically” he could just mean the very violent wake-up call he gives Cristina in bed, but let’s hope for something a little more romantic.

What do you think of this bundle of spoilerish goodness?

Greys Anatomy did not make the nominees list for Outstanding Drama Series. I mentioned in my post that it sounded like it would be an either or situation for Lost and Grey’s Anatomy and it looks like Lost won after all. While I mentioned that both Dexter and Friday Night Lights wouldn’t be there, Dexter did make the final cut after all.

Although Grey’s Anatomy didn’t manage to land a huge number of nods this year, they did get a few. As expected, both Chandra Wilson and Sandra Oh are in for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. They’ll be going up against Diane Wiest from In Treatment, Rachel Griffiths from Brothers & Sisters, and Candace Bergen from Boston Legal.

In the Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series spot, Diahann Carroll got a nomination for her portrayal of Jane Burke.

They also landed nominations in the Outstanding Makeup For A Single-camera Series (non-prosthetic) category, as well as the Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup for a Series, Miniseries, Movie, or A Special.

So that’s a total of five nominations across four different categories. Let’s hope that the show manages to walk away with at least one golden statue.

I can’t say I’m not a little disappointed not to see Grey’s Anatomy in the Outstanding Drama Series category, nor Patrick Dempsey and T.R. Knight in their respective slots. But there are some tough contenders out there and there’s always next year.

For a full list of the Emmy nominations, please visit Emmys.tv. The Emmys will be going live on Sunday, September 21st at 8pm EST on ABC.

How do you feel about the nominees list?

However, Ausiello did relate a very interesting tidbit regarding the rumor that Callie might be the one pregnant in season five: “a reliable Grey’s insider insists ‘it’s not true.’” Now, whether that means that the entire rumor about a pregnancy in season five is bogus, or that it’s simply not going to be Callie, it’s not quite clear. And of course, there’s always the question of whether the denial is true at all.

So, if it isn’t Callie and it isn’t Rose (Shonda said it wouldn’t be), that leaves us with Meredith, Adele, Izzie, and Lexie. Or perhaps the Grey’s Anatomy crew decided to shoot down the pregnancy idea altogether. Then again, if you read carefully, Ausiello said, “There’s a rumor going around that Callie will start the season with a little McSteamy in the oven…” Doesn’t mean she won’t have another panic attack about her attraction to Hahn and jump back into the sack with McSteamy and get pregnant later.

I guess we can speculate until our fingers fall off and our brains cry for mercy, but what else is there to do in these lonely, Grey’s Anatomy-less months?

What do you make of all of this? No pregnancy at all? No pregnancy for Callie? Or are the Grey’s Anatomy people simply trying to confuse us?

(Thanks for the tip, Arieanna)

When asked what the “major” kiss from the season finale was supposed to be, Ausiello responded that it was most likely the big MerDer smooch at the end. Though as most of us concluded: that was hardly unexpected. I love MerDer as much as the next person, but it was all a little disappointing after all of the kissing hype.

Ausiello was also asked about the number of episodes Grey’s Anatomy would tally up next season. According to his sources the total will be around 24 episodes for season five. The person that asked the question said there was a Patrick Dempsey interview in which he said there would be 30–34 episodes. Has anyone seen that interview? Send it my way if you do. I’ve not come across it yet. Regardless, I doubt very much it will be anything in the 30s range, as nice as that would be. Ausiello’s 24 sounds far more likely.

Shonda does sound rather excited about season five which is good news for us fans. Her excitement is sure to rub off on us. As if we weren’t already excited/impatient enough!

Alas, we’re still a long way off from season five, and further still from the ending to season five, so Shonda brings us back to the present with her exploration of the season four finale.

In this post she covers Ava/Rebecca, Alex, Izzie; she covers Bailey; she covers Cristina; and she covers Lexie/George. She leaves us with sound advice: “Have a great summer and do lots of kissing.”

So anyone want to take a guess as to what the ending of season five might entail? A happy wedding for a change? Maybe?

I’m opening up a discussion thread so we can funnel all of our excitement about tonight’s episode into an easy to find place.

Last week I polled the Grey’s Anatomy News community to see who you thought the lucky couple would be partaking in the “major” and “unexpected” kiss we’ve been promised. Despite the comments stating that no way would it be Meredith and Derek it does seem like a vast majority of you do think MerDer will be it. Now, no doubt they’ll be locking lips in tonight’s episode, but are they really the major and unexpected kiss? Guess we’ll find out!

I’ll be posting a recap of the episode this weekend, so for those of you with no access to the episode check back here for the play-by-play. But of course do pass by after the episode to discuss the events of the finale; the good, the bad, the shocking … or perhaps the disappointing.

Further discussions that might interest you:

• Patrick Dempsey’s Spoilers for Tonight’s episode
• Spoilers on The Kiss
• Ongoing Discussion on Callie/Hahn
