SAG Nominees: Best Female Actor in a Comedy Series

My predictions: 4/5
Who’s missing: Jane Lynch (Glee), Laura Linney (The Big C), Melissa McCarthy (Mike & Molly), Martha Plimpton (Raising Hope), Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), Zooey Deschanel (New Girl), Laura Dern (Enlightened)

Goodbye, “Glee.” The show still got a mention for Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series, but that’s it, as another show moves to take over, with Emmy winner Julie Bowen (Modern Family) joining costar Sofia Vergara (Modern Family). Though her show is no longer nominated for its ensemble, last year’s winner Betty White (Hot in Cleveland) sticks around, though I doubt she’ll win again. I’m glad I didn’t bet against Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), who has now collected her tenth individual SAG nod. Rounding out the list, we have category staple Tina Fey (30 Rock). Still no Amy Poehler, which is sad, and surprisingly but rightfully, no Melissa McCarthy, despite her film nomination for “Bridesmaids.”

Who could win? I think it’ll be Bowen.
