Golden Globe Nominees: Best Actor in a TV Series – Drama

My predictions: 2/5
Who’s missing? Michael C. Hall (Dexter), Hugh Laurie (House), Sean Bean (Game of Thrones), William H. Macy (Shameless), Dylan McDermott (American Horror Story), Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights), Timothy Olyphant (Justified)

Here we get a major surprise – not only the snub of Hugh Laurie, but also of Michael C. Hall, whose show was also left off the Best Drama Series list. I personally think it’s still terrific, so it’s a shame to see it ignored. That does pave the way for some fantastic inclusions however, starting with Kelsey Grammer (Boss), whose show, as I predicted in my no guts, no glory picks, also made it into the top race, and Damian Lewis (Homeland), who I had pegged to be listed as a supporting actor. Jeremy Irons (The Borgias) makes a showing despite his show being ignored at the Emmys, and he joins Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire) and Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad).

Who could win? I think it’s going to be Grammer.
