The competition: Claire Danes’ eccentric CIA agent (Homeland), Michele Dockery’s posh heiress (Downton Abbey), Jessica Lange’s sadistic nun (American Horror Story: Asylum), Julianna Margulies’ maternal lawyer (The Good Wife), and Maggie Smith’s stuffy countess (Downton Abbey).
For your information: Lange won this race last year for playing a different role on the first season of FX’s spooky horror series. Margulies won twice in a row before that. Danes won a SAG Award two years ago for her lead role in the TV movie “Temple Grandin,” and earns her first SAG nomination for her current show after back-to-back Golden Globe wins. Smith was nominated for this same part last year in the miniseries race, and is also recognized this year for her film work in “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.” This is the first nomination for Dockery. Danes, Dockery, and Smith are also nominated as part of their ensemble casts.
Who should win: Danes
Who will win: Lange and Smith going up against each other makes for fierce competition, but I’d bet on the red-hot Danes to edge them both out.
