 <title>Emmy Picks, Day Three: The Actresses</title>
 <link>http://www.observer.com/2008/arts-culture/emmy-picks-day-three-actresses</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p>The 60th Primetime Emmy Awards air Sunday night on ABC. In preparation, we thought it would be fun to give you a little help on your office pool. Welcome to Day 3 of our Emmy preview!</p>
<p>We've already handicapped the <a href="http://www.observer.com/2008/arts-culture/emmy-picks-day-one-supporting-actress">supporting</a> <a href="http://www.observer.com/2008/arts-culture/emmy-picks-day-two-supporting-actor">races</a>. Now it's time to look at the lead actresses.</p>
<p><strong><u>Best Actress, Comedy:</u></strong> Christina Applegate, <em>Samantha Who?</em>; America Ferrara, <em>Ugly Betty</em>; Tina Fey, <em>30 Rock</em>; Julia-Louise Dreyfus, <em>The New Adventures of Old Christine</em>; Mary-Louise Parker, <em>Weeds</em></p>
<p><em>Who we're pulling for: </em>With apologies to the other four nominees, all of whom are deserving of this win, there's only one woman we're going to be pulling for: Tina Fey. What can we say? She's funny, whip-smart and possibly the most endearing actress on television. The best part about Ms. Fey's performance is that it actually got much stronger during season two of <em>30 Rock</em>. She used to be an expert straight-woman, now she's a legitimate leading lady. Our huge crush on her doesn't hurt, either.</p>
<p><em>Prediction:</em> The Emmy Awards usually love two things: first time category nominees on new shows and comeback stories that you never thought you'd see. <strong>Christina Applegate</strong> manages to be both. <span class='read-more'><a href="http://www.observer.com/2008/arts-culture/emmy-picks-day-three-actresses">&nbsp;read&nbsp;more&nbsp;&raquo;</a></span></p>]]></description>
