ACTRESS (DRAMA)

Kerry Washington ("Scandal"); Claire Danes ("Homeland"); Connie Britton ("Nashville"); Keri Russell ("The Americans"); Robin Wright ("House of Cards"); Julianna Margulies ("The Good Wife")

My say I'm expecting some fun, exciting changes this year, and all you have to do is look at my list to see how fun/exciting. Washington! Britton! Russell! Wright! This is this year's best category, or at least most competitive category I'm most excited about -- by far. With so many worthy contenders on so many shows, 2013 is the Year of the Actress.

Possible surprises Tatiana Maslany ("Orphan Black"), Michelle Dockery ("Downton Abbey") or Khandi Alexander ("Treme") could sneak in. Credit: MCT
