Jaime Pressly

What strikes me about Jaime Pressly is how she turned a supporting part into the thing everyone remembers. As Joy Turner on My Name Is Earl, she could have been a one-note trailer-park caricature, but she gave the role a fearless comic timing that earned her a 2007 Emmy and Golden Globe and SAG nominations on top of it. I find it telling that her win came in a category where it's easy to get overlooked. North Carolina to Hollywood, she built a career on playing sharp, brassy women better than almost anyone, and she clearly knows exactly what she's good at.
