This is the eighth category of the 3rd Annual AFT Television Awards, my personal choices for the best in television this past season. This year, semi-finalists are included to recognize more of the impressive work being done on television today. Nominees are pictured in the order I’ve ranked them.Last year’s nominees: Kristin Chenoweth, Jennifer Esposito, Jenna Fischer, Becki Newton, Jean Smart
Emmy nominees: Kristin Chenoweth, Jane Krakowski, Elizabeth Perkins, Amy Poehler, Kristin Wiig, Vanessa Williams
Semi-finalists: Lizzy Caplan (Party Down) is wonderfully sarcastic, and gives her party planner part her all. Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation) is talented, and even though her role doesn’t ask for much, she delivers.
Finalists: Maggie Lawson (Psych) got closer to Shawn and tried to prove herself as a detective, and her charm is undeniable. Jean Smart, Jennifer Esposito, and Melissa McCarthy (Samantha Who) all contributed exceptionally to a dwindling show, and kept it entertaining through it end. Becki Newton (Ugly Betty) moved in with Betty and managed to experience some true feelings along the way.
The nominees:
Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies) went to a nunnery and sang her socks off but still remained on task as the cheeriest pie server around. Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty) thought she found true love at last, and watching the villainess lose everything after actually developing emotions was enthralling. Portia de Rossi (Better Off Ted) exuded everything but compassion as a ruthless, ethically challenged, awesome workaholic. Ashley Madekwe (Secret Diary of a Call Girl) stole all of her scenes and proved that Belle wasn’t the only interesting prostitute in London. Jenna Fischer (The Office) made a startling decision to advance her career and experienced a life-changing thrill.
