Emmys 2010: How Glenn Close, January Jones, Julianna Margulies and others hope to snag Best Actress gold

I’m such a huge fan of Mariska, so I’m completely in her corner on this one! The writing on SVU has been less-than-stellar as of late (like seasons 10 and 11) but you have to give it to the girl – she takes whatever they give her and she does her best to sell it. I watch SVU because of the Meloni/Hargitay chemistry – they are fabulous as partners with a hint of co-dependency. Neal Baer (the exec producer) better bring it this season because I don’t think CM and MH are sticking around much longer on the SVU set. I’d be thrilled if she won another Emmy this year!

January, Christina, Juliana and Archie all submitted great episodes. The episode january submitted could have also been used by christina because they were both brilliant that night. Thats the episode betty busted Don and Joan went upside her husbands head with a flower pot! The episode Archie submitted came on last night. She is the epitome of a strong supporting character.

I think that Christine Baranski is great as Diane Lockhart, but her best episode submission would have been the one where she sleeps with McVeigh. My supporting Emmy vote would, in the end, go to Panjabi for her amazing work as Kalinda. The thing that sets her aside in my opinion is the fact that I can’t envision anyone else playing Kalinda, whereas the rest of these actresses may be replaceable. As for the lead Actress Emmy, I side with Connie Britton. Though I believe Margulies is the best actress on TV right now, Connie Britton deserves the Emmy for being constantly overlooked as the phenomenal Tami Taylor. Margulies would have ensured her win had she submitted “Conjugal.” Maybe this will help Britton!! {Fingers Crossed!}

My bet is for Sharon Gless. She’s was awesome in the season finale of Burn Notice “Devil you know” episode. It was cool when she hit officer Callahan.

It’s just insane to me that they have snubbed Katey Segal this time round. She delivered the best performance I’ve ever seen from a lead actress let alone from just this past season. For her to be bypassed in the nominations is criminal. January Jones? Really? Ridiculous oversight — shame on you Emmys.
