Christina Hendricks was nominated in the “Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series” category at the 2010 Emmy Awards last night (August 29).

Sadly she lost to Archie Panjabi from “The Good Wife” but she was true to form by showing her enviable curves wearing a gorgeous Zac Posen Resort 2011 gown on the red carpet.

Also congratulations to the cast and crew of Mad Men for winning their third-in-a-row Emmy for Oustanding Drama Series!

Let’s get real here. We don’t watch the Emmy Awards so we can groan at the presenters’ scripted banter or contemplate the popularity of “Two and a Half Men.” It’s the dresses, stupid!

And since we’ve still got time before our favorite small-screen sirens hit the red carpet on Aug. 29, we’ve decided to whip out our crystal ball and handicap what we suspect they’ll wear.

Only they and their stylists know for sure what’s coming out of the closet on the big night, but it doesn’t hurt to do a little detective work.

Judging by “Mad Men” actress Christina Hendricks‘s previous Emmy gowns, we can expect plenty of curves and an intense hue. In 2008, she flaunted her highly praised curvaceous figure in a plunging emerald green Tadashi Shoji, while 2009 saw her in a fitted midnight blue L’Wren Scott (who also designed her blue Met ball gown).

A safe bet is that the Best Supporting Actress in a Drama nominee will turn up in a creation from “Project Runway” winner Christian Siriano, who designed her peach organza Golden Globes frock and the ruffled black gown she wore to last week’s Creative Arts Emmys.

But given the fact that she just wore Siriano and might be wary of wearing a Scott gown at back-to-back Emmy ceremonies, we suspect Hendricks might pull out a surprise showstopper, similar to the red one-shoulder Carolina Herrera gown she wore to this year’s SAG Awards.

Christina Hendricks looked stunning as she arrived at the 62nd Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, California on Saturday (August 21).

Christina wore a gorgeous Christian Siriano black gown and accessorized with Stuart Weitzman black satin platforms and BelaDora jewels — pearl and diamond earrings and diamond and pearl ring.

All the nominated actors in series get to submit one episode from their previous season to be judged on. These are the episodes they chose for final voting.

Christina Hendrick‘ choice for last season of Mad Men is episode 3.06 – “Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency“.

What do you think? Bad or good choice?

Christina Hendricks did not have much time to bask in the news of her first Emmy nomination before getting back to work at the show where she earned it.

The Emmy nominations were announced at 5:30 a.m. Pacific, and “I had to be at work at 6:30 this morning,” the red-headed “Mad Men” co-star said in an interview last night, “so I was drawing a bath when I heard about the nomination.”

She wasn’t expecting the Emmy recognition three seasons into the show, particularly after a year when her character, the sexy and super-competent Joan Harris, was absent much of the time because she had quit Sterling Cooper because of her loser husband Greg.

“The material was amazing, but I wasn’t there as much,” she reasoned. “I thought that might affect how people might pick.”
