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

My predictions: 2/5
Who’s missing? Piper Perabo (Covert Affairs), Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy), Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer), Kathy Bates (Harry’s Law), Maria Bello (Prime Suspect), Connie Britton (American Horror Story), Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights), Lauren Graham (Parenthood), Glenn Close (Damages)

Out with the old, in with the new, and how!! Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife) is the only nominee sticking around from last year, and she’s joined by some pretty interesting people. Claire Danes (Homeland) was the only one I predicted, and I’m very glad that her show performed extremely well. Next up, somewhat more predictably, was Mireille Enos (The Killing), an Emmy nominee who managed to be remembered. After that, things get crazier, as Callie Thorne (Necessary Roughness) takes the newly established USA slot from Piper Perabo to get a shocking mention. Even more surprising, ABC’s “Revenge” scores a nod, but not for Emily Van Camp – for Madeleine Stowe instead. Who could have possibly predicted that?

Who could win? I’ll still bet on Danes.
