Emmy Nominees: Best Guest Actress in a Drama Series
My predictions: 2/6, but the other four were my alternates!
Here’s a major shocker: Shirley MacLaine didn’t get nominated, since apparently the “Downton Abbey” love is reserved for series regular. Emmy favorite Stockard Channing also didn’t make the cut, and last year’s nominees Julia Ormond (Mad Men) and Martha Plimpton (The Good Wife) were swapped out for new nominees. I can’t comprehend how, year after year, Joan Cusack (Shameless) continues to be considered a guest star on a terrific show that should really be deemed a comedy and nominated so much more than it is. She is good, though, and so are her fellow nominees. I haven’t seen Margo Martindale (The Americans) yet, but I’m sure she’s great, and I’m so excited about Carrie Preston (The Good Wife) being included. Linda Cardellini (Mad Men) is a strong choice, and Jane Fonda (The Newsroom) was good too, though so many of her costars deserve to be here more than her. Rounding out the category is Diana Rigg (Game of Thrones), another fun choice.
Who should win? I need to watch Martindale, but at this point Preston or Rigg
Who will win? I’d normally say Rigg, but Martindale may be a smarter choice.
