I can’t take too much issue with the nominees given the inclusion of Minnie Driver and the expected nominations of Kyra Sedgwick and Edie Falco. I do wish that the underrated Dirt could have got some love in the form of a Courtney Cox nomination.
Sally Field (Brothers and Sisters) – 9:5
Yet another famous actress moves to the world of television.
Mariska Hargitay (Law and Order SVU) – 8:1
Hargitay of the ever popular Law and Order: SVU doesn’t have much of a chance of repeating last year’s victory.
Patricia Arquette (Medium) – 7:1
Arquette should be a default nominee for any award show she’s available for based on her performance in True Romance alone.
Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer) – 2:1
It’ll be close between her and Falco, but The Sopranos factor should leave Sedgwick in the cold.
Minnie Driver (The Riches) – 3:1
Her very deserving nomination was an unexpected treat.
Edie Falco (The Sopranos) – 2:1
Falco was the rock that kept The Sopranos domestic storyline going for its entire run.
Who Should Win
Edie Falco (The Sopranos)
Edie Falco put in yet another stunning performance in the final season of The Sopranos.
Who Will Win
Edie Falco (The Sopranos)
Falco's victory should wrap up The Sopranos sweep of the major categories.
Omissions
Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica), Mary McDonnell (Battlestar Galactica), Annabeth Gish (Brotherhood), Molly Parker (Deadwood), Courtney Cox (Dirt), Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights), Ali Larter (Heroes), Andrea Roth (Rescue Me)
