AFT Awards: Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series

This is the twelfth category of the 12th Annual AFT Television Awards, my personal choices for the best in television during the 2017-2018 season. This year, I’m including a shorter list, with just nominees and a few finalists, if applicable. Nominees are pictured in the order I’ve ranked them.

The winner:

Nasim Pedrad (Curb Your Enthusiasm) was perfectly in her element as a bride who wasn’t about to let typical gender roles or physical expectations – or a nosy bald man – do anything to get in the way of her special day.
