Golden Globe nominations for this year will be announced in just a few weeks, so here’s a survey of the contenders and the most likely predictions at this time. Weigh in with your thoughts, and let me know if I’ve left off anyone important. A reminder that last year’s nominees mean zilch at the Globes and that the race is almost entirely unpredictable.
Last year’s nominees:
ALEC BALDWIN, 30 ROCK
STEVE CARRELL, THE OFFICE
KEVIN CONNOLLY, ENTOURAGE
DAVID DUCHOVNY, CALIFORNICATION
TONY SHALHOUB, MONK
Ineligible last year:
LARRY DAVID, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM
New contenders:
THOMAS JANE, HUNG
JOEL MCHALE, COMMUNITY
MATTHEW MORRISON, GLEE
Potential first-time nominees:
JEMAINE CLEMENT, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS
ZACHARY LEVI, CHUCK
JIM PARSONS, THE BIG BANG THEORY
This category shouldn’t be transformed too radically. Baldwin, Carrell, and to a lesser extent Duchovny should be safe. Shalhoub missed out on a nomination twice in the history of his show, and this is his last chance to be honored, so he could easily be kept in or dropped. Parsons probably has the edge over Clement to break into the pack because his show is still actively going, and none of the new talent are strong enough to make a dent.
Predicted nominees:
ALEC BALDWIN, 30 ROCK
STEVE CARRELL, THE OFFICE
DAVID DUCHOVNY, CALIFORNICATION
JIM PARSONS, THE BIG BANG THEORY
TONY SHALHOUB, MONK
