SAG Winner Predictions: Best Female Actor in a Comedy Series


The competition: Mayim Bialik’s nerdy scientist (The Big Bang Theory), Julie Bowen’s neurotic mother (Modern Family), Edie Falco’s pill-popping nurse (Nurse Jackie), Tina Fey’s nerdy TV writer (30 Rock), and Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ sarcastic vice-president (Veep).

For your information: Fey has won this award four times, most recently last year, and has been nominated six times in a row. This is Falco’s fifth consecutive nomination, and she won three individual SAG Awards for her role on “The Sopranos.” Bowen was nominated two years ago. Louis-Dreyfus has been nominated seven times before for two other TV roles, and won twice for “Seinfeld.” This is the first nomination for Bialik. All but Falco are also nominated as part of their ensemble casts. The Golden Globe winner in the corresponding category, Amy Poehler, isn’t nominated here.

Who should win: Louis-Dreyfus

Who will win: It will probably be Fey again unless Louis-Dreyfus, who wasn’t nominated last year, can beat her.
