Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series is a category with a lot of great performances, but one is pretty much a lock to win. With the episode submission “Ozymandias” and the buzz of the final season, last year's winner Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad) is a near shoe-in for a win.
However, the dark horse in this category is a surprising one. Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey) was a surprise nominee for some, but others (those who still watch Downton Abbey) were sure that she would get in, and I see why. Her episode submission (Episode 4.2 in the U.S. and Episode 4.3 in the U.K.) involves a controversial rape scene that gives her some really strong and heartbreaking material.
While Christine Baranski has a watershed episode dealing with the death of Will, I think she should have instead submitted the less emotional “Outside the Bubble”, which offers her more screen time and a great storyline.
