Drama Actress

Last year, Julianna Margulies ("The Good Wife") finally won an Emmy as Best Drama Actress after losing this race in 2010 as well as four times for "E.R," (1997 - 2000).  

She is defending her crown against two of last year's other nominees -- Kathy Bates ("Harry's Law") and Elisabeth Moss ("Mad Men").

Back in the running is 2008 and 2009 champ Glenn Close ("Damages") after a one-year hiatus for her series. 

The two newcomers are Golden Globe winner Claire Danes ("Homeland") and Michelle Dockery who contends for the reclassified "Downton Abbey."
