Golden Globe Winner Predictions: Best Actress in a TV Series – Comedy/Musical


The competition: Christina Applegate’s amnesiac on “Samantha Who,” America Ferrera’s desperate assistant on “Ugly Betty,” Tina Fey’s harried television writer on “30 Rock,” Debra Messing’s divorcee on “The Starter Wife,” and Mary-Louise Parker’s pot-dealing mom on “Weeds.”
For your information: Fey, Ferrera, and Parker are the past three winners in this category. Messing was nominated last year for the mini-series lead up to the “Starter Wife” series. The other four nominees were recognized last year as well.
Who should win: Fey is consistently excellent on “30 Rock”
Who will win: No clear frontrunner. The incredibly hot Fey eclipsed Applegate’s freshman turn last year. Messing’s show has zero buzz, and Ferrera’s dead in the water. I suspect the reinvigorated “Weeds” may give Parker a shot, but I’ll still go with Fey.
