Emmy Nominees: Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

My predictions: 4/5, picking Rose Byrne over Dianne Wiest

I’m quite happy that “Damages” lead actress Byrne, who I never liked right from the beginning, was snubbed after everyone assumed she was a lock. I can’t say I’m thrilled about any of the actual nominees, all of whom were pretty much expected. We still don’t know which episode of “In Treatment” Dianne Wiest submitted, but it didn’t have to be that good to beat out all the other actresses who made it into the top ten on name recognition alone. “Grey’s Anatomy” stars Chandra Wilson and Sandra Oh managed to cling to life while their show disappeared almost entirely from the list of nominations. I’m not happy, but Candice Bergen is no surprise. And at least Rachel Griffiths is here with a legitimately decent performance (and she has a “Six Feet Under” costar to join her – Michael C. Hall!).

Who should win? Ugh… Wiest or Griffiths
Who will win? Hard to say. Probably Wilson though it could be Wiest or Bergen
