Last year’s nominees: Sanaa Lathan, Kelly Macdonald, Alison Pill, Kathleen Robertson, Katee Sackhoff
Emmy nominees: Christine Baranski, Joanne Froggatt, Anna Gunn, Lena Headey, Christina Hendricks, Maggie Smith
Semi-finalists: Lili Simmons (Banshee), Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad), Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey), Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey), Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones), Christine Baranski (The Good Wife), Molly Parker (House of Cards), Katee Sackhoff (Longmire), Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), Jessica Paré (Mad Men), Paula Malcomsohn (Ray Donovan), Emma Kenney (Shameless), Danai Gurira (The Walking Dead)
Finalists: Lena Headey (Game of Thrones) transformed into an even more spiteful but equally more compelling character as she experienced personal tragedy. Maggie Siff (Sons of Anarchy) started down a dangerous road but bravely fought to ensure her own safety and livelihood. January Jones (Mad Men) showed her selfishness and loneliness more than ever in her lamentably limited screen time. Olivia Munn (The Newsroom) stood out among a fading ensemble as she continued to defy expectations, not always in the right way. Bex Taylor-Kraus (The Killing) was all attitude as “Little Man,” most compelling in her shared scenes with Holder.
The nominees:
Caitlin FitzGerald (Masters of Sex) was the most magnetic character on a show about sex, all the more impressive given that her character’s plotlines rarely had to do with sex. Amy Acker (Person of Interest) and Sarah Shahi (Person of Interest) took on excellent and vital supporting roles, infusing their series with a much-needed female presence. Erika Christensen (Parenthood) got saddled with a wrenching storyline and delivered with extremely affecting emotion.
The winner:
Annabeth Gish (The Bridge) walked onto a show led by two dynamic characters and managed to steal the spotlight completely with her infinite curiosity and brazen work ethic.
