AND THE WINNER IS:

VANESSA WILLIAMS AS NANCE TRACE FOR ("A.I.R.P.I.G.") IN "GIRLS5EVA"

This is the second win and fourth nomination for Vanessa Williams. She previously won for Ugly Betty (2007). She was also nominated in 2008 for Betty and as part of the ensemble in 2007.

Williams has for years shown how incredible she performs when in comedy so I must say while watching Girls5Eva is was such a thrill for her to surprisingly show up in the second to last episode and be such a welcome presence. She plays the powerful music manager Nance Trace who enters as the final challenge for the girls of the show titled band. Williams get's a lot of great lines to deliver, gets to sing a bit and rule in some stellar costuming. Williams showed in her quick guest spot that while in a similar genre like comedy her work in no way is reminiscent of her iconic role as Wilhelmina Slater.
