Emmy Race: Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series

My predictions: 5/5 (that's right!)
My ballot: 3/5 Huffman, Fey & Parker

I am overjoyed to have gotten this entire category correct. It is especially sweet after I went 0/5 last year and had to face the dismal line-up that ensued. I am finally really liking Felicity Huffman on Desperate Housewives, and though I would love to see Eva Longoria get recognized one of these days, I am happy with that. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is awful on her new sitcom but at least this year she will lose to an actress who is much better on an equally bad but overpraised show, America Ferrera on Ugly Betty. And after last year's shocking snub, Mary-Louise Parker is here deservedly for her great role on Weeds. I am also thrilled that the most vulnerable contender in this category, Tina Fey, made it in for her straight man role on 30 Rock.

Who will win? Oh, I would love for it to be Fey. But yeah, I think it's pretty much Ferrera.
