Emmy Nominees: Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series


My predictions: 4/6, predicting CCH Pounder over Griffiths and Wilson.
My ballot: 0/5

Besides the rage I am feeling over the omissions of Elizabeth Mitchell and CCH Pounder, the nominees here are not that bad. My hatred of the "Brothers & Sisters" pilot and show hype is probably clouding my knowledge that Rachel Griffiths is an amazing actress (see: "Six Feet Under). I cannot really comment on the "Grey's Anatomy" women other than to say that Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson are pretty good on the show and that Katherine Heigl deserves some acclaim (and she is great in "Knocked Up", not that her film role should have any influence here). And wow, both Lorraine Bracco and Aida Turturro were amazing in "The Blue Comet" and "Soprano Home Movies", respectively. Not that one episode should determine an entire season's praise, especially in this case since those episodes were basically the only ones either played a major role in (though Bracco submitted "The Second Coming", in which she was good too).

Who will win? Hard to say at this point. Bracco never won against Edie Falco, so this may be her shot if she changes her submission to "The Blue Comet". Heigl may surprise though.
