SAG Predictions: Best Female Actor in a Comedy Series

Last year’s nominees:
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE, SAMANTHA WHO?
AMERICA FERRERA, UGLY BETTY
TINA FEY, 30 ROCK
MARY-LOUISE PARKER, WEEDS
TRACEY ULLMAN, STATE OF THE UNION

This list could look very different this year. Tina Fey (30 Rock) isn’t going anywhere, and Mary-Louise Parker is probably safe too. Beyond that, Tracey Ullman (State of the Union) was a pretty random nominee last year and may not repeat. She’s still eligible, but Christina Applegate (Samantha Who?) saw her show get cancelled, while America Ferrera (Ugly Betty) was unceremoniously dumped from the Emmy lineup. More crucially, there are new contenders just waiting to burst in, like Toni Collette (The United States of Tara), Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), and seven-time SAG nominee Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie). Additionally, keep an eye out for Courteney Cox (Cougar Town), Lea Michele (Glee), Jane Lynch (Glee), and departing star Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies).

Predicted nominees:
TONI COLLETTE, THE UNITED STATES OF TARA
EDIE FALCO, NURSE JACKIE
TINA FEY, 30 ROCK
MARY-LOUISE PARKER, WEEDS
AMY POEHLER, PARKS AND RECREATION


Final predictions will be offered on Wednesday, December 16th, after Golden Globe nominees are revealed, though that shouldn’t impact the race too significantly. SAG nominations will be announced on Thursday, December 17th, and come back to TV with Abe for a detailed look at each race.
