My predictions: 3/5, missing Cox and MicheleWho’s missing: Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds), America Ferrera (Ugly Betty) Christina Applegate (Samantha Who?), Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation)
Out with the old, and in with the new. With the exception of reigning champ Tina Fey (30 Rock), the other four nominees are all newbies. Gone are former winners like three-time nominee America Ferrera and four-time nominee Mary-Louiser Parker for the first time in their series’ runs, which is especially surprising for the latter actress given the fact that “Weeds” was welcomed back into the Best Comedy Series category last year. No matter, because the Globes are on to newer things. They haven’t yet jumped aboard the “Parks and Recreation” bandwagon, but hopefully they’ll get there eventually. Showtime actresses Toni Collette (The United States of Tara) and Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie) are here, joined by network stars Courteney Cox (Cougar Town) and Lea Michele (Glee). Though her show doesn’t exactly justify it, this must be a nice day for Cox, who has now earned her first-ever major awards nomination for any show. And I’m certain that Michele is absolutely ecstatic, as are musical-loving fans of her show everywhere.
Who could win? Tough call with so much talent in one place, but I think that singer Michele will triumph here based primarily on the fact that her show has more buzz than the other four of these other series.
