With the June 28th deadline to return Emmy nominee ballots fast approaching, many of your favorite television web sites have begun to make their case for a handful of worthy 2012 nominees. Not to be outdone, we here at theTVaddict.com have decided — as we are wont to do — to take things one step further. Which is to say, in a completely altruistic effort to simplify things for the voting body that is the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, your friendly neighborhood TV Addict has decided to save those lucky enough to call themselves “Emmy Voters” from countless hours spent needlessly scrolling through a seemingly never ending PDF of worthy performers by presenting our “Emmy Nominations Made Easy!” With today’s focus being on our picks for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
We Make the Case For…
[782] Morena Baccarin: Making the most of her highest profile role to date that doesn’t involve some sort of space ship, Baccarin’s performance as a grief-stricken former military-widow put in an impossible situation was, oddly enough, out of this world.
[833] Lena Headey: When an audience ends up rooting for the survival of an immeasurably cruel power-mad queen with a somewhat peculiar taste in men and a dependance on alcohol, you know you’re doing your job as an actress.
[834] Christina Hendricks: Despite her character’s history for breaking hearts, nothing compares to the beating ours took after witnessing the lengths to which Joan Holloway would go to in an effort to provide a future for both herself and her family.
[836] Megan Hilty: Lost amidst the disappointment that was SMASH’s roller coaster ride of a first season was Hilty’s phenomenal performance. Suffice it to say, she can be our star any day.
[869] Archie Panjabi: If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it speaks volumes as to just how commonplace variations of Panjabi’s morally flexible sleuth has become across the primetime television landscape.
[870] Lana Parrilla: Evil has never been this fun, or looked so good in a skin-tight leather dress.
