Emmy Nominees: Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series


My predictions: 4/6, picking Amy Ryan over Joosten and Silverman

After some people predicted her ending up with two nominations, Amy Ryan wasn’t even able to get nominated for her spectacular comic performance in the season finale of “The Office”. It’s not much of a surprise after seeing both John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer snubbed, but it still stings just as much. I’m sorry, but Kathryn Joosten did nothing Emmy-worthy this season on “Desperate Housewives”. While Polly Bergen’s role wasn’t my cup of tea, that I can understand. Sarah Silverman didn’t need to be hear but she was rather funny on “Monk”. I just have the bad taste of her own series in my mouth. As far as the three “30 Rock” ladies are concerned – Edie Falco, Carrie Fisher, and Elaine Stritch, none of them was as nuanced as Ryan, but they’ll do. This will be a tough competition.

Who should win? Falco, I suppose
Who will win? My gut feeling is actually Sarah Silverman…we’ll see
