SAG Nominees: Best Female Actor in a Comedy Series


My predictions: 3/5, missing Bialik and Bowen
Who’s missing? Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), Sofia Vergara (Modern Family), Lena Dunham (Girls)

It infuriates me that, after welcoming her for just one year, Amy Poehler is already tossed aside and forgotten. SAG voters are also pretending that “Girls” doesn’t exist, but that doesn’t bother me as much. They traded three-time nominee Sofia Vergara for costar Julie Bowen (Modern Family), who was nominated two years ago. I’m surprised that they didn’t honor Emmy winner Merritt Wever alongside Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), but it makes sense that they did include Mayim Bialik (The Big Bang Theory), whose show continues to be hot. After snubbing her last year, Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep) is here, as is Tina Fey (30 Rock), a four-time winner earning her seventh nomination for the final six episodes of her show.

Who could win? Probably Louis-Dreyfus.
