Tom Oh! and his
GoldDerby.com buds have been busy, busy. On the heels of flagging the semifinalists in the Supporting Actor in a Drama and Lead Actress in a Comedy Emmy races, they now have sussed out the short (though not short
est) list for Supporting Actress in a Drama... and
Friday Night Lights fave Connie Britton ain't on it. Britton vied in the
lead category last year and in doing so netted a top 10 nod, yet this time around she put herself up for supporting. And came up with nada, sadly.
The 10 semifinalists
are:
Jane Alexander,
Tell Me You Love Me
Candice Bergen,
Boston Legal
Rose Byrne,
Damages
Jill Clayburgh,
Dirty Sexy Money
Sharon Gless,
Burn Notice
Rachel Griffiths,
Brothers & Sisters
Christina Hendricks,
Mad Men
S. Epatha Merkerson,
Law & Order
Sandra Oh,
Grey's Anatomy
Dianne Wiest,
In Treatment
Chandra Wilson,
Grey's Anatomy
