Looking at last year’s list, forget “Big Love” and “Damages” because they didn’t air in 2008. Knock both Grey’s Anatomy and The Tudors down to unlikely contenders due to lack of critical praise and buzz, respectively. Keep Mad Men and House; they’re safe. Factor in new cable shows Breaking Bad, In Treatment, and True Blood and I think you have your list. I suspect that Dexter will be a sixth nominee this year. With its critical resurgence, Lost might have a shot at a comeback, like it did at the Emmys this past year, but I don’t think the Globes are likely to bring it back. I don’t see it, but other Golden Globe prognosticators are hedging their bets on the lone new buzz-worthy network TV drama, Life on Mars.
Predicted five:
BREAKING BAD
DEXTER (6th nominee)
HOUSE
IN TREATMENT
MAD MEN
TRUE BLOOD
