I imagine, and hope, that the buzz for Sally Field is all gone after her surprising (in my mind) victory last year. Her episode this year is even more embarrassing, and she’s barely in it. Mariska Hargitay’s time has passed, after she won two years ago. Her episode submission, in my opinion at least, is also rather weak, but she’s won before and is least likely of anyone to win this category. Holly Hunter could have a shot, and her episode submission of the “Saving Grace” finale was a wise choice. But she’s third wheel to a two-person race: Kyra Sedgwick and Glenn Close. Sedgwick lost the past two years to Hargitay and Field, and would be the frontrunner this year if not for a widely-praised Close. I think Close deserved the win in this category three years ago for “The Shield” (let’s not even talk about Patricia Arquette), but she’s heavily overrated on “Damages”. Regardless, her episode, the series’ pilot, got everyone talking, and I’d be surprised if she didn’t win.
Who should win (based on entire season): Kyra Sedgwick
Who should win (based on individual episodes): Kyra Sedgwick
Who will win: Glenn Close (alternate: Kyra Sedgwick)
