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

My predictions: 4/5
Who’s missing? Toni Collette (The United States of Tara), Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Lea Michele (Glee), Christina Applegate (Up All Night), Kat Dennings (2 Broke Girls), Melissa McCarthy (Mike & Molly), Martha Plimpton (Raising Hope)

This category was probably my most accurate, and I was delighted by the mistake I made. Edie Falco was swapped out for the incredibly deserving funny lady Amy Poehler (Parks & Recreation), who sadly represents her show’s only mention. She’s joined by two delightful newbies, both of whom have their shows nominated in the top race, Zooey Deschanel (New Girl) and Laura Dern (Enlightened). Laura Linney (The Big C) returns with a nomination without her show represented elsewhere, and Tina Fey (30 Rock) also finds herself without a corresponding series nomination for the first time since its freshman year.

Who could win? A tight race between the new nominees, but my money’s on Deschanel.
