Ok, the Emmy nominations are coming out soon. Here's my personal pick in the supporting actress categories.
Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
Kristin Chenoweth for Pushing Daisies
Jenna Fischer for The Office
Rashida Jones for Parks & Recreation
Jane Krakowski for 30 Rock
Vanessa L. Williams for Ugly Betty
This is always a cool category. I'd have loved to include each of my top ten actors here because they were all pretty good. I'm still not sure whose my favourite...I'll decide by August. However, they each have something special going for them. Kristin Chenoweth is awesome as Olive in Pushing Daisies, and it's very sad that the show was cancelled. She was nominated for an Emmy last year, but I don't
know if they'll nominate her again. What with the show being cancelled and everything. I don't think I have to make a case for the hilarious Jenna Fischer in The Office, Pam is the bomb and you know it. Hopefully the Emmy's know it. Rashida Jones in Parks & Recreation is a whole other story. Why do I like this show? That's what my sister asks me. But I think it's funny. Not hilarious...but getting there. And I do think Rashida is talented. Jane Krakowski needs that Emmy nomination and she needs it now. She's my favourite thing on 30 Rock, which I don't like very much. She got me hooked. And as to Vanessa L. Williams in Ugly Betty...why doesn't she have an Emmy? My appreciation for Ugly Betty has passed, but Ms. Williams continues to impress me. I don't think that they'll ignore her when it comes time for nomination. But I don't know. We'll see.
Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
Katherine Heigl for Grey's Anatomy
Audra McDonald for Private Practice
Sandra Oh for Grey's Anatomy
Sara Ramirez for Grey's Anatomy
Chandra Wilson for Grey's Anatomy
Someone should probably knock me in the head. I have an unrequited, and absolutely unprofessional love of Grey's Anatomy. It has almost reached ridiculous proportions. Was Marcia Gay Harden supporting or a Guest on Damages? I'm not sure, so she's not here. She'd probably knock out Sandra or Sara. I'm totally fine with this lineup though. I mean each of these women are great. Three of them have been nominated for their roles before, and I really want to see Audra McDonald in this lineup. She has become the best
performer on Private Practice, a show I have come to love and she deserves recognition for her work in the last
three episodes. Enough said, I like this list. Sue me. Leighton Meester almost made it in, but wouldn't that have been WAY too much Gossip Girl?
