Golden Globe Nominees: Best Actress in a TV Series - Comedy/Musical

The nominees:
ANNA FRIEL, PUSHING DAISIES
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE, SAMANTHA WHO?
TINA FEY, 30 ROCK
AMERICA FERRERA, UGLY BETTY
MARY-LOUISE PARKER, WEEDS

My predictions: 3/5, pleasantly surprised to see Friel and Fey over Felicity Huffman and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

I am equally happy to see "Ugly Betty" relegated to this category as I am to see "Weeds" at least represented here after no-shows Justin Kirk, Elizabeth Perkins, and the series itself. As for the three new nominees, Friel is a bit of a surprise and I still am not sure if I like her (I would have much rather seen Kristin Chenoweth get a nomination). I am thrilled for Tina Fey, and also for Christina Applegate, since it is increasingly clear that her show's quality may not last the entire season and that this may be her one shot at a nomination.

Who will win? I would say Applegate has the best shot since none of these specific performers have any buzz right now, and her show is the hottest of them all at this moment.
