Even the Emmys forgot about Jaime Pressly after handing her a trophy last year, and I think the same is likely true for Katherine Heigl (Grey’s Anatomy), though it’s possible I’m completely underestimating the staying power of the show and someone like Sara Ramirez or Brooke Smith could show up here. I think this is a category that will be dominated by limited series events, starting with Laura Dern (Recount), Eileen Atkins (Cranford), Audra McDonald (A Raisin in the Sun), and Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Saddam). Rounding out the nominees should be Dianne Wiest (In Treatment), whose recent Emmy win and revered status should help her, guaranteed voters embrace the show. Last year’s nominee Rachel Griffiths (Brothers and Sisters) may not be down and out for the count, and awards forum posters seem pretty interested in Jessica Lange (Sybil). Recent Emmy-favored comedy actresses Jean Smart (Samantha Who) and Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies) may make the cut, but sometimes the Golden Globes are a bit slow on the uptake, and only come to shows after they’ve long declined (an example might be Jaime Pressly, though I think “My Name is Earl” sucked from day one). This is a category I’ve done horrendously in with past years, so expect to see a slightly, if not completely, altered list.
Predicted five:
EILEEN ATKINS, CRANFORD
SHOHREH AGHDASHLOO, HOUSE OF SADDAM
DIANNE WIEST, IN TREATMENT
AUDRA MCDONALD, A RAISIN IN THE SUN
LAURA DERN, RECOUNT
