Emmy Nominees: Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series


My predictions: 5/5

I think I’ve really gotten a handle on things since I went 0/5 two years ago when all four Housewives and Mary-Louise Parker were snubbed in favor of four actresses on cancelled shows and newcomer Julia Louis-Dreyfus. This is my second year with a perfect score in this category. I’m glad no Housewives made it in, their time is done. I’m actually fine with this lineup. While I can’t stand Julia Louis-Dreyfus on “Old Christine”, I’ve grown to appreciate America Ferrera, who many thought would be snubbed, on “Ugly Betty”. Christina Applegate made it this far, which is great for her, and I’m so glad that Mary-Louise Parker, who was INCREDIBLE on season three of “Weeds”, made it in amidst people doubting her chances. And then there’s Tina Fey, who I believe has four nominations this year (acting, producing, and writing “30 Rock”, as well as hosting an episode of “Saturday Night Live”). As she said in the season premiere, this is her year.

Who should win? Parker, but I’ll take Fey
Who will win? Fey
