SNUB ALERT! It seems the women that were nominated didn't match up to the women I thought should have been nominated and deserving of the award (and gift basket of goodies.)

Here's what I would add to the list:

Outstanding Lead Actress:
Battlestar Galactica - Mary McDonnell as President Laura Roslin
Friday Night Lights - Connie Britton as Tami Taylor

Outstanding Supporting Actress:
Battlestar Galactica - Katee Sackhoff as Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace
Battlestar Galactica - Tricia Helfer as Number Six
Lost - Elizabeth Mitchell as Juliet Burke

(I think I need to write on why I keep mentioning Battlestar Galactica.)

Anyway, the actual nominees are...

Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series
Brothers & Sisters - Sally Field as Nora Walker
The Closer - Kyra Sedgwick as Dep. Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - Mariska Hargitay as Detective Olivia Benson
Medium - Patricia Arquette as Allison Dubois
The Riches - Minnie Driver as Dahlia Malloy
The Sopranos - Edie Falco as Carmela Soprano

File this one in the "Your Guess Is As Good As Mine" category. I think all but Patricia Arquette have as good a chance of winning as any other. I'll pick Sally Fields, though, as I really enjoy watching her as Nora amidst the crazy Walker family.

Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series
Brothers & Sisters - Rachel Griffiths as Sarah Whedon
Grey's Anatomy - Katherine Heigl as Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens
Grey's Anatomy - Chandra Wilson as Dr. Bailey
Grey's Anatomy - Sandra Oh as Cristina Yang
The Sopranos - Aida Turturro as Janice Soprano
The Sopranos - Lorraine Bracco as Dr. Jennifer Melfi

I love Rachel Griffiths. Ever since Six Feet Under ever since she played the neurotic bitch Brenda. But I wouldn't mind seeing Chandra Wilson win, either. She's one of the Grey's Anatomy characters I love to watch. I can do without Yang, but keep my Dr. Bailey!

Outstanding Guest Actress In A Drama Series
Grey's Anatomy - Kate Burton as Ellis Grey
Grey's Anatomy - Elizabeth Reaser as Jane Doe
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - Marcia Gay Harden as Star Morrison
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - Leslie Caron as Lorraine Chalmers
24 - Jean Smart as Martha Logan

I don't watch Law & Order. I just don't get the point of those shows anymore. Jean Smart was great, but I think I preferred Kate Burton as Ellis Grey, Meredith's Alzheimer mom. Shame we wont be seeing her next year.
