Kristin Chenoweth, "April Rhodes," Glee
Viola Davis, "Lynda P. Frazier," United States of Tara
Judith Ivey, "Paula," Nurse Jackie
Megan Mullally, "Tammy Swanson," Parks and Recreation
Betty White, "Host," Saturday Night Live
The television academy should pretty much already have Betty White's name engraved on this award; I'm having trouble imagining a scenario in which the Emmys are not the capper to the 2010 America Loves Betty White Festival, especially following Rue McClanahan's death. Which is not to say that I don't think she deserves it - the decades of professionalism White brought to the proceedings resulted in what was easily the best SNL of an underwhelming season. The other women here excelled in their respective roles: bringing pathos to an often-loopy show (Ivey), representing a strong outsider perspective (Davis), and holding their own among ensembles of strong personalities (Banks, Chenoweth, Mullally).
Honorable Mentions: Jan Hooks, 30 Rock; Idina Menzel, Romy Rosemont, Glee; Margo Martindale, Hung; Elizabeth Banks, Modern Family; Swoosie Kurtz, Nurse Jackie; Kathy Bates, The Office; Kristen Bell, Party Down; Joey Lauren Adams, Pamela Reed, United States of Tara
I wouldn't be surprised to see: Julianne Moore, Elaine Stritch, 30 Rock; Taylor Swift, Saturday Night Live
