Rosemarie DeWitt, "Charmaine Craine," United States of Tara
Jane Lynch, "Sue Sylvester," Glee
Aubrey Plaza, "April Ludgate," Parks and Recreation
Yvonne Strahovski, "Sarah Walker," Chuck
Merritt Wever, "Zoey Barkow," Nurse Jackie
Lynch is (deservedly) a likely shoe-in for a nomination here, if not the obvious frontrunner for the win, for her dynamic performance. Lynch as Sue is vital as one of the stopgaps that keeps Glee from being too saccharine. Brie, Plaza and Wever are all standouts within their respective ensembles as young women who have found their place and blossomed within an eccentric makeshift family. DeWitt and Tara's writers both deserve credit for deepening Charmaine's character in the second season, making her less callous and more sympathetic without abandoning any of her self-absorption. An unexpected benefit of the "Intersect 2.0" storyline on Chuck was the emotional beats it gave Strahovski to play as Sarah contended with her feelings about Chuck becoming more of a "real" spy.
Honorable Mentions: Yvette Nicole Brown, Gillian Jacobs, Community; Busy Phillips, Cougar Town; Jessalyn Gilsig, Glee; Jane Adams, Hung; Julie Bowen, Sofia Vergara, Modern Family; Eve Best, Anna Deveare Smith, Nurse Jackie; Jenna Fischer, Ellie Kemper, The Office; Lizzy Caplan, Party Down; Brie Larson, United States of Tara
I wouldn't be surprised to see: an SNL cast member, most likely Kristin Wiig; Elizabeth Perkins from Weeds - it's a perennial favorite, and it's been announced that it's her last season; from the above, either actress from Modern Family and Fischer - it was a lackluster season of The Office, but she's got two great episodes to submit in the wedding and the birth
