Golden Globe nominations for this year will be soon, 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:
Boardwalk Empire
Dexter
The Good Wife
Mad Men
The Walking Dead
New contenders:
American Horror Story
Game of Thrones
Homeland
Shameless
Potential first-time nominees:
Breaking Bad
Justified
There’s definitely going to be one new nominee this year since “Mad Men” didn’t air in 2011. The other four series, however, all had spectacular seasons, so they’re all probably in, though “The Walking Dead” may have been a one-time inclusion. Most likely to take the fifth slot is hot new show “Homeland,” which should prove considerably fresher than Emmy nominee “Game of Thrones” and considerably more normal than FX’s “American Horror Story.” I wouldn’t expect “Breaking Bad” to finally earn a nomination since it’s been almost entirely ignored the past three years, and a nomination for “Justified” is uncertain but entirely possible.
Current predictions:
Boardwalk Empire
Dexter
The Good Wife
Homeland
The Walking Dead
