Is the best thing that still comes in terms of the year’s field of Outstanding main actress in a limited series or a movie Emmy challengers? April and maybe not only gives Netflix’s “Sirens”, with Emmy winner Julianne Moore and the latest Emmy-nominated Meghann Fahy, but it also has the Amazon Prime Video Clip “The Better Sister” with Emmy-nominated actress/producers. Not to mention all the guest stars who come to The last season of “Black Mirror,” Including Rashida Jones, Emma Corrin and Issa Rae.

Rounding the most important challengers is Renée Zellweger, who returns to his iconic, Oscar-nominated role in the direct-to-peacock sequel “Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy” and Ellen Pompeo in “Good American Family”, her first main role outside “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Last year’s winner: Jodie Foster, “True Detective: Night Country”
Still eligible: No.
Hot streak: HBO is surprisingly quite easy on limited series like this time, but has already won awards for their performance on “The Penguin”, actress Cristin Cristin Miliot has a good shot to help the network start a winning line in this category.
