While all six of last year's nominees for Best Comedy Actress were eligible to contend again, only four made it back into the race even though it was expanded to seven nominees: surprise winner Melissa McCarthy ("Mike and Molly"), previous champs Edie Falco ("Nurse Jackie") and Tina Fey ("30 Rock"), and Amy Poehler ("Parks and Recreation"). Actresses from rookie shows contending are Zooey Deschanel ("New Girl"), Lena Dunham ("Girls") and Julia Louis-Dreyfus ("Veep").
