Move over Queen Elizabeth II? One month after the announcement that “The Crown” actress Emma Corrin , who portrays Diana, the Princess of Wales, would join Olivia Colman in the Drama Actress race at the Golden Globes, the palace intrigue over who will ultimately prevail is reaching a fever pitch. Our current combined odds have both Colman and Corrin earning bids for the critically-acclaimed fourth season of the Netflix drama. Although Colman ranks first over Corrin in fourth place, the race continues to tighten as nominations morning looms.
Colman certainly has an advantage at the Globes, where she’s won for every one of her nominations. After wins for “The Night Manager” and “The Favourite,” Colman is the reigning champion in the Drama Actress category, winning for “The Crown” last year for her first season as Queen Elizabeth. She’ll now have to defend her perfect record against not just “Crown” co-star Corrin,...

Alison Sweeney left "Days of Our Lives" in 2014 after more than two decades playing Sami Brady, but despite her long tenure in the role, she has never been nominated for a Daytime Emmy, so it's now or never for voters to finally embrace her. In fact, she's the only Best Actress pre-nominee this year who has never earned a bid. -Break- Daytime Emmy pre-nominations: 'Young and Restless' leads with 22 "Days" won Best Actress last year for Eileen Davidson, who, like Sweeney, had been awaiting her first victory after decades in daytime.

For the past eight years, Emmy voters have made one thing abundantly clear: they love Mariska Hargitay. With eight consecutive nominations and counting for the "Law & Order: Svu" star, Hargitay is now tied for second place in the battle for the most career Emmy bids for Best Drama Actress. Both Michael Learned ("The Waltons" and "Nurse") and Sharon Gless ("Cagney & Lacey" and "The Trials of Rosie O'Neill") share in Hargitay's wealth of eight bids apiece. So who could possibly have more Emmy nods? Cue the "Murder, She Wrote" theme song. That's right, Angela Lansbury leads with an astounding 12 Emmy nominations in this category. Lansbury played TV's favorite author/crime-fighter Jessica Fletcher on the long-running CBS drama throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Sure, her Emmy honor is slightly diminished when factoring in that she was never able to actually win any of her bids, bu...
