Since I have a passionate love for television, every year I create my own version of the Emmy awards (where the nominations should replace the legit ones). In this blog series, I will post one category daily and review it. I'll announce my nominations and then my winner.

The eighteenth category is Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. There's a reason why I left the comedy actress category for last. I purposefully left this category last because the nominees are amazing and the winner of this category gave the best performance of the year (in my opinion).
My nominees are:
Abbi Jacobson as Abbi Abrams – Broad City
Ellie Kemper as Kimmy Schmidt – Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Lisa Kudrow as Valerie Cherish – The Comeback
Julia Louis-Dreyfus as President Selina Meyer – Veep
Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope – Parks and Recreation
Amy Schumer as Various Characters – Inside Amy Schumer
And the winner is...

Lisa Kudrow as Valerie Cherish from The Comeback! I said it and I'll say it again - Lisa Kudrow gave the best performance of the year for her work on the second season of The Comeback. For those who don't know of the show, Kudrow plays Valerie Cherish who is an aging actress that played a character on a "hit" '90s sitcom. She will do anything to become famous again. When she lands a role on a new HBO show playing Mallory Church (a character that's based on her and that does not show her in a good light whatsoever), it's apparent that she may become a star - but it might risk everything and everyone. Her range of emotions displayed throughout the season were astonishing. People may love Lisa Kudrow for her performance of Phoebe on Friends. However, her career best performance was on the last season of The Comeback. Anyone who disagrees with me hasn't seen the show.
Also, the rest of the nominees in this category are all queens. :)
