Golden Globe Nominees: Best Television Series – Drama

My predictions: 3/5, missing “Big Love” and “House”
Who’s missing: “Breaking Bad,” “In Treatment”

The Golden Globes, traditional lovers of new and unusual fare, have decided this year to embrace only returning shows. For the second year in a row, “Breaking Bad” is completely shutout, and after leading the nominees last year, “In Treatment” is nowhere to be found. Dexter, Mad Men, and True Blood are all hot (and terrific) right now, so that makes sense. Big Love is the one instance of the Globes being ahead of the Emmys, giving the show its third nomination after a year off the air. Rounding out the list is House, also on its third nomination. Not much originality, but I guess fans just love their shows.

Who could win? There really isn’t anything on right now quite as strong as Mad Men.
