This past television season saw women take a more active role on screen. Although they can be love interests, mothers or friends, these performers displayed the multi-faceted layers of the female psyche and deserve a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series:
Patricia Arquette, Medium (NBC)
Edie Falco, The Sopranos (HBO)
Sally Field, Brothers & Sisters (ABC)
Ellen Pompeo, Grey's Anatomy (ABC)
Kyra Sedgwick, The Closer (TNT)
Possible Alternates: Minnie Driver, The Riches (FX) and Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: SVU (NBC)
Patricia Arquette was authentic and credible as someone who really could talk with the dead. Edie Falco proved a mafia wife could be more lethal than a hitman. Sally Field showed vulnerability and strength as a widow and mother trying to keep her family together. Ellen Pompeo shed light on her alter ego's "dark and twisty place" and faced her biggest demons. Kyra Sedgwick was an arresting presence as the clever cop who's rotten at romance. Keep in mind Minnie Driver as the wife and mother, who along with her family, began the biggest con of her life. Last, but not least, last year's winner Mariska Hargitay delivered another solid season as the veteran detective who's seen the best and worst in life.
