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

My predictions: 2/5
Who’s missing? Ty Burrell (Modern Family), Mandy Patinkin (Homeland), Scott Caan (Hawaii Five-0), Chris Noth (The Good Wife), Chris Colfer (Glee), Nick Offerman (Parks & Recreation)

Gone are three of last year’s series nominees, leaving only Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family). Damian Lewis got into the lead category, which makes room for Emmy winner Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones). The other three nominees all come from HBO miniseries or TV movies: Paul Giamatti (Too Big to Fail), Tim Robbins (Cinema Verite), and Guy Pearce (Mildred Pierce). I’ve only seen Pearce’s “Pierce” performance, and I hope to have the chance to watch the TV films before awards night. Not much more to say – this is among the least interesting of the Globe categories this year.

Who could win? Probably Stonestreet?
