Emmy Nominees: Best Guest Actress in a Drama Series


My predictions: 2/5, missing Caron, Harden, and Smart for Megan Mullally, Doris Roberts, and Christine Lahti.
My ballot: 0/5

Even though Emmy voters clearly no longer like "24", they do love their former first lady, Jean Smart. I had never heard of Leslie Caron before today, but apparently she was a two-time Oscar nominee in the 60s and now has her first Emmy nomination. Marcia Gay Harden is an actress whose style I really do not like, but Oscar voters loved her overrated roles in "Pollock" and "Mystic River", so I guess this is no surprise. Kate Burton receives her second consecutive nomination, and is joined by a fellow "Grey's Anatomy" guest star. I did not think she was all that on "Grey's", but I am thrilled that Elizabeth Reaser, who was so good in the little-seen "Puccini for Beginners" is getting awards attention.

Who will win? Smart since she lost last year in the supporting category or Burton because people LOVE her.
