Emmy noms for Diane Lane and Kate Winslet: Further proof that HBO is an actress' best friend

Cheered by the news this morning that both Diane Lane (Cinema Verite) and Kate Winslet (Mildred Pierce) earned Emmy nominations for best female performance in a television miniseries or movie. Those are the two best performances I've seen this year, big screen or small, male or female (although William Hurt, who likewise scored an Emmy nom for "Too Big to Fail," comes pretty close. In looking at these nominations, all I can say is, thank the acting gods for HBO.
