Emmy Nominees: Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series


My predictions: 1/6, picking only Dianne Wiest

Okay, let me explain. I mentioned all five of the nominees I didn’t choose in my predictions, and I knew that the “Grey’s Anatomy” ladies (Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson) and that lead actress from “Damages” (Rose Byrne) might make the cut. I didn’t quite expect the same for Cherry Jones, since “24” didn’t end up with any major nominations besides her own. I imagine she made it on based on her reputation as a stage actress. Dianne Wiest, last year’s winner, was a lock for “In Treatment,” and I’m particularly thrilled about the sixth nominee here: Hope Davis. As I’ve been catching up with the show (something I’m in the process of doing), I’ve been increasingly impressed with her performance. It’s too bad that costar Allison Pill couldn’t have made it in over one of those “Grey’s Anatomy” girls, but at least Davis earned some recognition.

Who should win? Davis!
Who will win? Hard to say. Could easily be Wiest again, could also be Wilson finally, or Byrne due to her being snubbed last year. I’ll go with Wiest for now.
