Girl Power TV

The list of nominees for the Screen Actors Guild Awards in the TV category springs no big surprises. Most TV viewers expect the names to be there anyway; we’d be more surprised if names like Tina Fey or Kyra Sedgwick aren’t included on the list.

The inclusion of Elizabeth Moss though, is a wonder for some people, though. She is one of the female stars of Mad Men. But since the show itself isn’t a popular with the general viewing public, there seems to be no buzz at all for this lady. Which makes the TV category very predictable this year…and I don’t know if what sounds better — big, shocking and upsetting surprises or no surprises at all?

Here are the list of nominees for the Female Category:

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series

• SALLY FIELD / Nora Walker - “BROTHERS & SISTERS” (ABC)
• MARISKA HARGITAY / Det. Olivia Benson - “LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT” (NBC)
• HOLLY HUNTER / Grace Hanadarko - “SAVING GRACE” (TNT)
• ELISABETH MOSS / Peggy Olson - “MAD MEN” (AMC)
• KYRA SEDGWICK / Dep. Chief Brenda Johnson - “THE CLOSER” (TNT)

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series

• CHRISTINA APPLEGATE / Samantha Newly - “SAMANTHA WHO?” (ABC)
• AMERICA FERRERA / Betty Suarez - “UGLY BETTY” (ABC)
• TINA FEY / Liz Lemon - “30 ROCK” (NBC)
• MARY-LOUISE PARKER / Nancy Botwin - “WEEDS” (Showtime)

The winners will be awarded their trophies on Sunday, January 25 in a live telecast.
