My Betty-fied Emmy Forecast: Part Two

by Tom on September 14th, 2007

Continuing with my Emmy forecast, see this post for part 1, I will analyze the major categories and tell you who I think will win, and who I think SHOULD win.  Remember, Ugly Betty News will be live blogging the Emmy awards, so please come and join us.  We’ll make it a party in the comments!  Now, on with the forecasting:

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series

Sally Field  - Brothers and Sisters
Mariska Hargitay - Law and Order SVU
Patricia Arquette - Medium
Kyra Sedgwick -The Closer
Minnie Driver  - The Riches
Edie Falco - The Sopranos

Who I think SHOULD win: Patricia Arquette. Her portrayal of Allison Dubois is like no other on television - she pulls off the suburban mom / psychic week after week, and we believe week after week.  Who WILL Win: Sedgwick.  She’s due, and her performance on The Closer has been more than worthy of recogniton.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series

Tina Fey  - 30 Rock
Felicity Huffman - Desperate Housewives
Julia Louis-Dreyfus - New Adventures of Old Christine
America Ferrera -Ugly Betty
Mary-Louise Parker - Weeds

Who I think SHOULD win: Surely you jest. Ferrera should win this going away.  Who WILL Win: Ferrera.  She gets more face time than all the others (being on an hour show), and she is absolutely lovable, funny, and believable.

I’ll give you one more today one with an Ugly Betty twist:

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Jaime Pressly   - My Name is Earl
Jenna Fischer - The Office
Conchata Ferrell - Two and a Half Men
Holland Taylor - Two and a Half Men
Vanessa Williams - Ugly Betty
Elizabeth Perkins - Weeds

Who I think SHOULD win: Can you guess? Williams, of course. Wilhelmina is one of the most compelling characters on television.  Who WILL Win: Fischer. Her performance in the finale of The Office was subtle and romantic. It’s hard to sympathise with Wihelmina. As much as I love Williams, I think the Emmy will go to Fischer.

More to come…
