Commentary - With this race, the only open slot is from Christina Hendricks, and I honestly see the rest of the bunch returning. That means a lot of names all fighting for one measly spot in this competitive race. Maggie Smith was shockingly left off the list last year, but with Downton nostalgia everywhere, and the show's final season ending with high marks, the previous winner could return. As could previous winner Margo Martindale, who had a great run on the final season of The Good Wife. Maura Tierney and Constance Zimmer won the Globe and the Critics Choice, but I don't know if either show has the clout or viewership to push them in, no matter how deserving their are. Miranda Otto, Rhea Seahorn, and Neve Campbell are all on shows that will probably be nominated for Best Drama Series, so they should not be discounted. I;m also on the lookout for the dynamic duos of Sissy Spacek and Linda Cardellini from Bloodline, and Jessica Lange and Edie Falco from Horace and Pete. Those names are just too big to ignore. Then there are the multitude of possibilities from a variety of shows including Orange is the New Black, Downton Abbey, Scandal, The Knick, How to Get Away With Murder, Grey's Anatomy, Nashville, The Knick, Billions, The Americans, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, The Leftovers, Masters of Sex, and Vinyl. Finally, throw in possible outsiders like Julie Walters, Helen McCrory, Gillian Anderson, Calista Flockhart, and Kathryn Winnick, and I don't know how voters choose.
