SAG Nominees: Best Female Actor in a Comedy Series

My predictions: 2/5, picking only Aduba and Louis-Dreyfus
Who’s missing? Ellie Kemper, Pamela Adlon, Issa Rae, Rachel Brosnahan, Frankie Shaw

Well, this wasn’t my best category. Interestingly, we have just one nominee who’s also contending for a Golden Globe, and that’s Alison Brie (GLOW), whose show I didn’t watch past the pilot but did enjoy in its initial hour. She’s also the only new nominee here, unfortunately bumping Kemper. Jane Fonda (Grace and Frankie) and Lily Tomlin (Grace and Frankie) are clearly popular with SAG voters, as is Uzo Aduba (Orange is the New Black), who is hardly the best part of her terrific ensemble these days. And then we have Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep), rebounding from a Globe snub and looking to win her third award for this show and fifth SAG trophy overall.

Who will win? I don’t see why it wouldn’t be Louis-Dreyfus again.
