Golden Globe Winner Predictions: Best Actress in a TV Series – Drama


The competition: Sally Field’s neurotic matriarch on “Brothers & Sisters,” Mariska Hargitay’s cop on “Law & Order: SVU,” January Jones’ scorned wife on “Mad Men,” Anna Paquin’s mind-reading waitress on “True Blood,” and Kyra Sedgwick’s stubborn deputy chief on “The Closer.”
For your information: Hargitay and Sedgwick have each won once before. Last year’s winner, Glenn Close, wasn’t eligible this year because “Damages” didn’t air in 2008. This is the first nomination for Jones and for Paquin. This was the first season of “True Blood.”
Who should win: Paquin
Who will win: Buzz is dead for the three returning nominees, and while Jones’ show might be more respected, I think curiosity and hype for Paquin will serve her well.

I predict Hargitay
Amazing after 10 yrs on this show she still got a GG nom. Tribute to her popularity.
