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:
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE, SAMANTHA WHO
AMERICA FERRERA, UGLY BETTY
TINA FEY, 30 ROCK
DEBRA MESSING, THE STARTER WIFE (ineligible)
MARY-LOUISE PARKER, WEEDS
New contenders:
JANE ADAMS, HUNG
TONI COLLETTE, THE UNITED STATES OF TARA
COURTENEY COX, COUGAR TOWN
EDIE FALCO, NURSE JACKIE
LEA MICHELE, GLEE
AMY POEHLER, PARKS & RECREATION
Last year’s lineup will probably be altered drastically because both Messing and Applegate’s shows were unceremoniously cancelled, and Ferrera got snubbed by the Emmys for the first time since her show has been on. “Weeds” is arguably as strong as it ever was, and Tina Fey isn’t going anywhere. The new contenders are quite overwhelming, however, and Showtime’s Collette and Falco, both awards darlings, should easily earn a spot on the list. Poehler should be able to nab a nomination for the first calendar year of her show just like Steve Carrell did for “The Office” (before the show garnered any Emmy attention), and improved reviews of the show should go a long way. I’m not confident that “Glee” will able to get any of its stars nominated, and while Michele is the likeliest one, I’ll stick with Parker for the final slot.
Predicted nominees:
TONI COLLETTE, THE UNITED STATES OF TARA
EDIE FALCO, NURSE JACKIE
TINA FEY, 30 ROCK
MARY-LOUISE PARKER, WEEDS
AMY POEHLER, PARKS & RECREATION
