60th Primetime Emmys Best Comedy Actress Semifinalists
Since the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences refuses to release the Emmy nomination shortlists of acting talent in the various lead and support categories, certain people track the lists down and publish them for the general public.
The big news this awards season regarding the comedy lead actress category is the fact that Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher is missing, although all three of her costars — Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman, and Eva Longoria Parker — are included. Ouch!
Another piece of big news is the nod given to standup specialist Sarah Silverman of Comedy Central’s The Sarah Silverman Program. While the Academy claims the acknowledgment is based on her work in the episode “Bored of the Rings,” we all know it’s really due to her role in “loving” Matt Damon.
The ten semifinalists for the Best Comedy Actress category follow; the final five nominees will be announced on Thursday, July 17.
Best Comedy Actress Semifinalists
- Christina Applegate, Samantha Who? (“The Restraining Order”)
- Marcia Cross, Desperate Housewives (“Now You Know”)
- America Ferrera, Ugly Betty (“Odor in the Court”)
- Tina Fey, 30 Rock (“Sandwich Day”)
- Anna Friel, Pushing Daisies (“Bitter Sweets”)
- Felicity Huffman, Desperate Housewives (“Now I Know, Don’t Be Scared”)
- Eva Longoria Parker, Desperate Housewives (“In Buddy’s Eyes”)
- Julia Louis-Dreyfus, The New Adventures of Old Christine (“One and a Half Men”)
- Mary-Louise Parker, Weeds (“Bill Sussman”)
- Sarah Silverman, The Sarah Silverman Program (“Bored of the Rings”)
For the third year in a row, all I have to say is, “WTF?! Still no Tichina Arnold from Everybody Hates Chris?!” Idiots.
