SAG Winner Predictions: Best Female Actor in a Drama Series


The competition: Kathy Bates’ strong-willed lawyer (Harry’s Law), Glenn Close’s vicious lawyer (Damages), Jessica Lange’s creepy neighbor (American Horror Story), Julianna Margulies’ hard-working lawyer and mother (The Good Wife), and Kyra Sedgwick’s deputy police chief (The Closer).

For your information: Margulies has won the past two years, and also won in 1997 and 1998 for “ER.” This is Close’s fourth consecutive nomination, and she won for “The Lion in Winter” in 2004. She is also nominated for her lead performance in the film “Albert Nobbs” this year. Sedgwick has been nominated every year since 2005 but has never won. Bates won in the miniseries or TV movie category in 1996 and won a film SAG award in 1998. She has been nominated once more for both TV and film work. Lange has been nominated twice before, once for film and television. Since its inception in 1994, only two supporting actresses have won this award, and both were from “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Who should win: Margulies or Sedgwick

Who will win: Supporting actress Lange, but it could be any of them.
