Golden Globe Nominees: Best Actor in a TV Series – Comedy/Musical

My predictions: 3/5
Who’s missing? Steve Carell (The Office), Matthew Morrison (Glee), Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), Will Arnett (Up All Night), Elijah Wood (Wilfred), Louis C.K. (Louie), Joel McHale (Community), Ed O’Neill (Modern Family), Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm)

Talk about shaking things up! Last year’s winner Jim Parsons is off the list, but he’s replaced by costar Johnny Galecki (The Big Bang Theory), who earned his first-ever Emmy nod this past year. Steve Carell is out the door, doubly ignored in the film categories with Ryan Gosling scoring a nomination without him for “Crazy Stupid Love.” Two stars of underrated shows I like manage to hang in there, with Thomas Jane (Hung) receiving his third consecutive mention and David Duchovny (Californication) rebounding from a hiatus to receive a fourth nod. Joining them is Matt LeBlanc (Episodes), whose show also scored in the top race, and Alec Baldwin (30 Rock), whose show didn’t! What an exciting list!

Who could win? Not sure – maybe LeBlanc?
