Emmy voters mixed it up a bit in the lead actress in a drama category today, recognizing seven nominees including newcomers Kerry Washington (“Scandal”), Vera Farmiga(“Bates Hotel”) and Robin Wright (“House of Cards”), a past favorite Connie Britton (“Nashville”) and returnees Claire Danes (“Homeland”), Michelle Dockery (“Downton Abbey”) and Elisabeth Moss (“Mad Men”).
Washington scored her first Emmy nomination for her role as crisis manager extraordinaire Olivia Pope in ABC’s soapy political thriller “Scandal.” The series just completed its second season, though its debut run last year consisted of just seven episodes.
