Commentary
Last year Kyra Sedgwick finally won her long awaited Emmy, and should be back again this year. As should last year's runner up, Julianna Margulies, who just gets better and better on The Good Wife. The Mad Men girls should return, and Elisabeth Moss could be a winner with some of her excellent episodes, but Jones might not have enough screen time. I would love to see Connie Britton return for FNL, and Golden Globe Winner Katey Sagal, might get a nod as well. Newcomers Kathy Bates and Dana Delaney would have had better shots if their shows had been better overall, but their good performances and name recognition could make them contenders ala Holly Hunter for Saving Grace. Mariska Hargitay is no stranger to the Emmys, and keeps getting in, so I have no reason not to believe she won't make the cut. Also newcomers Piper Perabo, Emmy Rossum and Mirielle Enos had strong seasons and cold be dark horse contenders. Finally I would like to make a plug for the always Lauren Graham, I hope the Emmys take notice.
