The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations will be announced on Thursday, July 18th. Please refer to my Emmy musings for this category for a detailed analysis of the contenders, and, as always, chime in below in the comments with any thoughts of your own.
Last year’s nominees: Joan Cusack, Loretta Devine, Julia Ormond, Martha Plimpton, Jean Smart, Uma Thurman
The competition: It’s reasonable to assume that two of last year’s three eligible nominees will be back, because their roles were just as juicy this season: Julia Ormond (Mad Men) and victor Martha Plimpton (The Good Wife). I’m not so sure about two-time nominee and inarguable series regular Joan Cusack (Shameless), mostly due to costars of the other two returning nominees. Linda Cardellini (Mad Men) and Stockard Channing (The Good Wife) are at the head of the pack, with Carrie Preston (The Good Wife), Jess Weixler (The Good Wife), Maura Tierney (The Good Wife), and Allison Brie (Mad Men) also possible. Acting legends Shirley MacLaine (Downton Abbey) and Diana Rigg (Game of Thrones) are no-brainers, while Jane Fonda (The Newsroom) might find herself left off the list if voters aren’t as impressed with her show. Recent Emmy winner Margo Martindale (The Americans) has a decent shot, as does Laura Fraser (Breaking Bad).
The predicted nominees: Linda Cardellini, Stockard Channing, Shirley MacLaine, Julia Ormond, Martha Plimpton, Diana Rigg
The predicted winner: MacLaine
