Uh oh. Just a few more days till the Emmys and millions of predictions to make.
I don’t care about Auntie Em I just want to know who wins the Emmys, goddamnit!
Our second award is Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie.
The noms:
- Felicity Huffman as Barb, American Crime
- Jessica Lange as Elsa Mars, American Horror Story: Freak Show
- Queen Latifah as Bessie Smith, Bessie
- Frances McDormand as Olive Kitteridge, Olive Kitteridge
- Emma Thompson as Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Live From Lincoln Center)
- Maggie Gyllenhaal as Nessa Stein, The Honorable Woman
This is a tough pick because these are some stronggggg performances. I would know because I saw two of them. #Truth.
But Olive Kitteridge was the best thing on TV this year (well, 2014 technically but whatever) so, yeah, you can guess what I’ll say!
In conclusion:
Who I Want to Win: Frances McDormand
Who Will Win: Jessica Lange. This was her last season on American Horror Story and she’s won twice before so why not again.
I think they may go with Latifah? very strong performance, great movie, HBO, she’s a movie star … McDormand is deserving/amazing but OK is still relatively quiet/unknown and Lange in AHS, not sure, Emmy DOES have a habit of repeating ad nauseum but not sure she will pull it off again
I could definitely see the Queen getting it. I’ve heard Bessie was terrific but I’m biased! I want Frances!
