Ann Dowd
Golden Globes & Emmys both missed the boat in a nod to the superb role of Patty as portrayed by Ann. She just knocked it out of the park, and after watching the first two seasons again, I'm just completely blown away by her depth and swagger in character.
I've seen her as a character actor in so many shows and have always been a big fan of her work in whatever she's involved in, but this role and her portrayal were/are her crowning jewel.
I'm seriously hoping we get more of her for season three.
