Emmy FYC: Mary McDonnell


If there is any justice in the world (and, sadly, in the awards community there very rarely is), Mary McDonnell will get an Emmy nomination for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her amazing performance as President Laura Roslin in "Battlestar Galactica," easily the best show on television. She has been consistently great as the cancer-stricken President of the less than 40,000 surviving humans of the 12 tribes, but the first few episodes of this current season have been, quite simply, a spectacle of this two-time Oscar nominee's skill. And the best showcase of this so far is this week's episode, "Faith." Simply fantastic. This episode should definitely be the submission for the campaign for McDonnell's nomination.

Emmy FYC: "Battlestar Galactica" for Best Drama Series, Mary McDonnell for Best Actress in a Drama Series, and whatever else the show is eligible for.
