Lead Actress in a Drama Series
Patricia Arquette in Medium
It was a while before I appreciated Patty's work in Medium, and now they're moving it to CBS. Let's see how that works out. She's pretty outstanding sometimes, so I hope she's nominated...I hope she submits A Necessary Evil. She was good in that.
Glenn Close in Damages
She is the greatest. If she wins a second Emmy I won't mind, I'd be happy, actually. But they might want to spread the love and that would be fine too. Either way, I won't mind...once she's nominated.
Anna Paquin in True Blood
Unfortunately, I only get some random episodes of True Blood. From what I see thoigh, Anna is pretty good in it. Thank God she's not going to end up like Tatum O'Neal.
Ellen Pompeo in Grey's Anatomy
She has done some of her best work since season two. I'm rooting for her, although she is a long shot. I'll see what happens, but she was tops in Stairway to Heaven.
Kyra Sydgwick in The Closer
I've been hooked on The Closer since the first time Deputy Chief Brenda Johnson said, "Thank you" in that annoying way of hers. She is completely infectious and deserved that Emmy over that satanic whore Mariska Hargitay. Okay, excuse me for that. I have nothing against Ms. Hargitay. But I just hate the fact that she keeps getting nominated for her abysmal work in Law & Order: SVU.
Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
Christina Applegate in Samantha Who
She continues to impress me with her near perfect comedic timing.
Marcia Cross in Desperate Housewives
She is consistently effective in both the comedic and dramatic moments of the series and does as the script asks. She even sold some of the more ridiculous story lines.
Anna Friel in Pushing Daisies
There's nothing to say, except Chuch rocks. Thank you.
Eva Longoria Parker in Desperate Housewives
She has improved as the seasons went by and now she has given some of her strongest showings. Emmy needs to give her some love.
Amy Poehler in Parks & Recreation
If she could manage that WTF nod for Saturday Night Live she manage a nod for this. Right...?
