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.
