The actor 'outed' Knight last year by calling him a 'faggot' during an on-set row with castmate Patrick Dempsey.
The controversy rumbled into 2007 when Washington uttered the derogatory gay term again backstage at the Golden Globe Awards, claiming he never used the word in the first place.
He has since accepted he was wrong on both occasions, apologized to gay community leaders and undergone counseling.
But Washington obviously doesn't think he'll find a lot of favor among Emmy voters and so he's the only Grey's Anatomy cast member not to submit himself for consideration, according to trade paper Daily Variety.
