Emmy Nominees: Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series


My predictions: 2/6, picking only Tina Fey and Elaine Stritch

For the second year in a row, this category includes six nominees but not Amy Ryan from “The Office.” What does she have to do to earn an Emmy nomination? The answer, according to this category: guest-star on “Monk” (Gena Rowlands this year, Sarah Silverman last year), guest-star on “30 Rock” when you have a TV-Friendly past (Jennifer Aniston), or be Betty White. Those three didn’t do much to merit a nomination for these performances. Otherwise, previous winner Elaine Stritch is back, and Tina Fey was nominated last year for “Saturday Night Live,” but in the now-defunct variety performance category. Rounding out the list is Christine Baranski for “The Big Bang Theory,” and I even though I don’t like the show, I’ll concede that she fit in perfectly and interacted just the right way with star Jim Parsons.

Who should win? Fey
Who will win? Fey
