Up against the Housewives juggernaut (which is especially confusing considering that the show didn't even make the comedy short list... but I digress) are some people who I'd like to see get their just desserts. America Ferrara (of course), Tina Fey (funniest woman on TV. Period.), Mary-Louise Parker (she's all kinds of crazy and wacky on Weeds) and Anna Friel, who is up for Pushing Daisies. (Though like the show, I think she'll get trounced in this category since she's not really funny but merely a fine actress on a quirky show). I like Christina Applegate, but she's not really the funny person on Samantha Who? -- she's kind of the straight woman that funny stuff happens around. I don't know if that counts as being the Best Comedy Actress. Then there's Sarah Silverman, who I run hot and cold with. She's remarkably entertaining... in small doses... but her show is a whole lot of her. While it would be great to see such a cool edgy actually funny person get a nod, I'm betting the Academy goes with safe bet Julia Louis-Dreyfus instead. Which, I'm honestly OK with... so long as it means that the Housewives aren't on the list.
