Commentary - Let's say that the five (with Elisabeth Moss gone) all return, and I see no reason why not. That leaves one slot. I think its between two old favorites who missed out last year, but have final seasons to bring in the nostalgia vote. Of course I am talking about Julianna Margulies and Michelle Dockery, and I'm leaning toward Margulies who has won this category twice for this role. Vera Farmiga, Connie Britton, and Kerry Washington, all once nominees look like their time is up, and I'm not sure that newcomers like Balfe, Appleby, Ritter, Keough, or Monaghan have enough support. Taylor Schilling, Eva Green, and Ruth Wilson couldn't get in before, I don't think they can now. Marcia Gay Harden is an Oscar winner, Hargitay once won this way back, and Caplan at one time got a nomination. Finally, there is always hope that more genre actresses like Benoist and Alexander can get in along with the Maslany slot.
