Alright folks, here's part 3 of More Than Musiq's Emmy predictions. This week we take a look at the drama queens, as well as outstanding drama series. And awayyy we go
Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series:
Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife)
Mariska Hargitay (Special Victims Unit)
Glenn Close (Damages)
Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer)
January Jones (Mad Men)
Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights)
Winner: Margulies has pretty much got this one in the bag, after having already wona Golden Globe and a SAG Award for her role as the wife of a politician (played by Chris Noth) caught in a scandal. And everyone always loves an actor who wins for a second solid role (she took home an Emmy for her work in ER).
Who Could Upset: I'd love to see the stunning January Jones pull a surprise win in this category. Her portrayal of Don Draper's bitter ex is equal parts ice cold queen and vulnerable little girl.
Outstanding Drama Series:
Lost
Breaking Bad
Dexter
Mad Men
True Blood
The Good Wife
Winner: Mad Men. The critical darling just scored its best ratings ever for the season 4 premiere, with Don Draper having to rebuild his career and fix his personal life. It's a smart show, with arguably the strongest ensemble cast on television.
Who Could Upset: I would be happy to see True Blood or Dexter take this one. True Blood's pure outrageous nature makes it unlike anything else on TV, while the character Dexter (played by Emmy worthy Michael C. Hall) truly came into his own in the last season, trying to search within for what's left of his humanity. Both shows are addictive.

I think Marguiles won an Emmy for the series and not for their personal performance
ReplyDeleteShe actually won the 1995 Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for ER.
