Emmys 2025 Poll: Who Should Win For Lead Actress In A Limited Series?

This year's Emmys contenders for best lead actress in a limited or anthology series boast a number of Emmy nods in their past — and, in one case, a pair of Oscar wins.

Cate Blanchett, with those two Oscars under her belt, is still searching for her first Emmy, and she's in the mix here for her work as Catherine in Apple TV+'s tense psychological thriller Disclaimer. (She was previously nominated in this category for Mrs. America.) But she faces stiff competition from Michelle Williams, who won an Emmy in 2019 for Fosse/Verdon and is back again for playing cancer patient Molly in Hulu's Dying for Sex. Plus, Cristin Milioti wowed audiences — and earned TVLine's Performer of the Year award, we might add — for her stunning turn as Sofia Falcone on HBO's The Penguin, which has given her the first Emmy nod of her career.

Rounding out the category are Sirens' Meghann Fahy, nabbing her second career Emmy nomination after her breakout in The White Lotus, and Rashida Jones, with her first Emmy acting nod for playing a financially strapped wife in Black Mirror's Season 7 installment "Common People."

Which one do you think should walk home with the win, though? Vote for your favorite in the poll below, then hit the comments to defend your pick.
