Emmy Nominees: Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series

My predictions: 4/6, missing Field and Arquette for Connie Britton.
My ballot: 3/5 Sedgwick, Driver & Falco

Who are these people who think that Patricia Arquette can act? Two years ago her nomination was shocking and her win even more so; I hoped it was a one-time lapse in judgment on the part of Emmy voters. Apparently I was wrong. Is she really better than Kristen Bell or Connie Britton? And I am sure fans of "Battlestar Galactica" and "Gilmore Girls" would argue that Mary McDonnell and Lauren Graham, respectively, deserve a nomination far more than Arquette. I cannot comment too much on Sally Field as I only saw her work in the pilot but the show turned me off so much. Mariska Hargitay is expected here, as is Edie Falco, returning after missing out on a nomination last year. I am so happy about Kyra Sedgwick and even more so about Minnie Driver, the lone nominee in any category from "The Riches".

Who will win? I would so love to see Driver win, but I feel like it might be Falco for the final season of "The Sopranos". And I am turning off the awards show if Arquette wins again.
