Henson and Viola Davis ("How to Get Away With Murder") are the frontrunners here; if either one wins, she’ll be the first black woman ever to take home a trophy in the category. (Expect an appropriately dignified but emotional speech.) Then again, if Tatiana Maslany wins for "Orphan Black," it’ll mark the rare occasion that the Emmys rewarded someone from a sci-fi show. And if Elisabeth Moss wins, it’ll be the first time someone from the "Mad Men" cast actually won. (Don’t you want to see her reprise that famous Peggy Olsen strut?) And if Claire Danes ("Homeland") or Robin Wright ("House of Cards") wins, there’ll be blood in the streets — but only because they’re not Davis, Henson, Maslany, or Moss.
