SAG Nominees: Best Female Actor in a Comedy Series


My predictions: 2/5, choosing only Fey and Vergara correctly
Who’s missing? Julie Bowen (Modern Family), Zooey Deschanel (New Girl), Lena Dunham (Girls), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep)

Emmy winners be damned! So much for Julie Bowen and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, both of whom have been nominated here in the past. The same fate befell Lena Dunham, though that’s less surprising since other actors might not have been as enthusiastic about her show as the rest of Hollywood. It’s odd to me that Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) stays in when many feel that her part has gotten stale. I don’t even want to comment on Betty White (Hot in Cleveland), who I’m sure is still funny given her material and her show but doesn’t deserve to be here. I don’t watch her show, but I’m surprised to see Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie) still nominated. Tina Fey (30 Rock) isn’t a shock given the industry’s eternal adoration of her show, and I’m so delighted by the final nominee, the very funny, very deserving Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation).

Who could win? I’d love to say Poehler given the competition.
