Golden Globe Nominees: Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Television Series

My predictions: 1/5, predicting only Byrne
Who’s missing: “In Treatment” actresses, Marcia Gay Harden (The Courageous Heart of Irena Sandler and Damages), Jeanne Tripplehorn (Grey Gardens)

This was my worst category (along with Best Screenplay – Motion Picture), but some of the unexpected nominees are great surprises. Jane Lynch (Glee) is very fun, and that show really did well, earning five nominations. I’m also elated to see Jane Adams (Hung), and I’m so glad she got recognized. I can’t understand why Rose Byrne (Damages) is here again, especially over her far superior costar Marcia Gay Harden. I don’t watch “Big Love,” but Chloe Sevigny becomes the first of the wives to break through with a nomination. Rounding out the category is Janet McTeer (Into the Storm), whose performance I haven’t seen but would very much like to if I get the chance.

Who could win? I think this will be either serious – McTeer – or funny – Lynch. I’d hedge my bets on Lynch.
