The competition: Eileen Atkins’ stern mentor (Cranford), Laura Dern’s Katharine Harris (Recount), Melissa George’s unstable patient (In Treatment), Rachel Griffiths’ devoted mother (Brothers & Sisters), and Dianne Wiest’s therapist’s therapist (In Treatment).
For your information: The only returning nominee is Rachel Griffiths. Dianne Wiest won a Golden Globe in 1994, and Laura Dern won a Globe in 1992. In the past ten years, this award has gone to the start of a regular television series five times: Sandra Oh for “Grey’s Anatomy” in 2005, Kim Cattrall for “Sex and the City” in 2002, Rachel Griffiths for “Six Feet Under” in 2001, Nancy Marchand for “The Sopranos” in 1999, and Camryn Manheim for “The Practice” in 1998.
Who should win: Atkins
Who will win: Atkins eclipsed Dern at the recent Emmy race, and Wiest triumphed over Griffiths in their race (George wasn’t nominated). It’ll be tough competition, but I think Dern will win here.
