Golden Globe Nominees: Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series

The nominees:
WILLIAM SHATNER, BOSTON LEGAL
TED DANSON, DAMAGES
DONALD SUTHERLAND, DIRTY SEXY MONEY
KEVIN DILLON, ENTOURAGE
JEREMY PIVEN, ENTOURAGE
ANDY SERKIS, LONGFORD

My predictions: 3/6, picking Danson, Sutherland, and Piven but missing out on the rest for "Office" boys John Krasinski and Rainn Wilson.

I am utterly shocked but thrilled that Andy Serkis made it in as the lone non-series nominee in this category for his terrific but extremely brief performance in "Longford". I can live with William Shatner as long as that is all the recognition "Boston Legal" gets. I love Jeremy Piven, but I still cannot understand the broad hype for Kevin Dillon. He is great on the show, but on a list of the top six supporting actors on television? Hardly. They really loved "Damages". Donald Sutherland is surprisingly the only nominee from "Dirty Sexy Money", but at least it is a start.

Who will win? "Damages" star Danson should be able to win this one, but watch out for Sutherland.
