SAG Nominees: Best Female Actor in a Drama Series


My predictions: 4/5, picking Moss over Dockery
Who’s missing?: Kathy Bates (Harry’s Law), Glenn Close (Damages), Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men), Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer)

Like the drama male actor race, this list makes perfect sense for what’s hot on TV right now. The returning nominees from last year are Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife) and Jessica Lange (American Horror Story: Asylum), whose series didn’t move to the miniseries race here as it did with the Emmys. Logically on the list after being peculiarly snubbed last year before her Golden Globe and Emmy wins is Claire Danes (Homeland), and she’s joined by the two most popular actresses on a beloved British-American television series, Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) and Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey). It’s a solid category.

Who could win? With Lange and Smith battling each other, I think it safely goes to Danes.
