Emmy Contenders: Lead Actress, Drama

Nina Dobrev, The Vampire Diaries

Annette Brown/The CW

Why She Will Be Nominated: Most actresses her age can barely handle one character, but Dobrev, 23, masterfully handles two roles—the compassionate teenager Elena and hell on heels vampire Katherine—and can break your heart with a single teary-eyed glance. Plus, she is the best underwater actress ever (see: TVD's season-three finale).
Why She Won't Be: The Vampire Diaries is on the CW aka Emmy vervaine/wolfsbane.
