They’re back...

It’s deja vu all over again as Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Jessica Parker, Patricia Heaton, Jane Kaczmarek and Debra Messing landed lead comedy actress nominations. See if you can follow this: Last year’s winner and four-time nominee Aniston (“Friends”) is competing against previous winner Parker (“Sex and the City”), who picked up her fifth nomination. Heaton, below, of “Everybody Loves Raymond,” is tied with Parker, with five nominations in this category. Meanwhile “Malcolm in the Middle’s” Kaczmarek and “Will & Grace’s” Messing have four apiece. Why so many repeat offenders? Simple: Star in long- running hit show, get many nominations.
