SAG Nominees: Best Female Actor in a Comedy Series

My predictions: 3/5, missing Applegate and Louis-Dreyfus
Who’s missing: Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds), America Ferrera (Ugly Betty), Tracey Ullman (State of the Union)

Silly me, I thought that voters had forgotten all about Christina Applegate (Samantha Who?) and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (The New Adventures of Old Christine). The former’s show was cancelled in the spring, while the latter earned her last and only nomination way back in 2005. In order to include them, it’s sayonara to two long-standing nominees in this category, Mary-Louise Parker and America Ferrera. New series stars need to be welcomed in, however, like this year’s Emmy winner Toni Collette (The United States of Tara) and three-time SAG winner Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie). And don’t forget about Tina Fey (30 Rock), not that you could, who has taken home this award the past two years.

Who could win? One of the newbies, but who? I think Falco, though a farewell nod to Applegate could be in the cards.
