My predictions: 4/6, picking Archie Panjabi and Monica Potter over Baccarin and Clarke
Apparently, to Emmy voters, “Parenthood” still doesn’t exist, as they’ve forgotten all about it, shutting it out this year after one guest acting nod last year and snubbing the talented Monica Potter. The new additions - Morena Baccarin (Homeland) and Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) – are certainly deserving, though both are from returning shows and have had equally compelling opportunities to be nominated in the past. I think Archie Panjabi’s snub is due to the bad reaction to her plotline this year, and Christine Baranski (The Good Wife) is now the lone series regular from that show to be nominated when, just two years ago, the series had five acting nominees in the main races. Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad), Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), and, of course, Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey) are all back as expected. So much for new faces like Kate Mara, Abigail Spencer, Alison Pill, Emily Mortimer, or Hayden Panettiere.
Who should win? All great choices. Depends on the episode.
Who will win? Smith
