BEST ACTRESS IN A DRAMA
Maura Tierney, ER
It's been seven years since Emmy voters rewarded Maura Tierney's performance as ER's Abby Lockhart with so much as a nomination (she's never actually won), but EW readers remedied the situation by giving the actress the EWwy in what proved to be a contentious category. Tierney nabbed 30 percent of the vote, followed closely by Battlestar Galactica's Mary McDonnell (25 percent), Friday Night Lights' Connie Britton (20 percent), Grey's Anatomy's Ellen Pompeo (19 percent), and Terminator's Lena Headey (7 percent).
