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

My predictions: 5/5
Who’s missing? Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Mindy Kaling (The Mindy Project), Laura Linney (The Big C)

This ranks as my only entirely accurately-predicted category. While I would have loved to see Mindy Kaling as a nominee, I didn’t think that Globe voters would embrace her wholeheartedly. Instead, they’d choose to welcome the two Emmy nominees that SAG saw fit to snub, Lena Dunham (Girls) and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep). I’m not going to argue that Tina Fey (30 Rock) should still be here, but at least she tries harder than her male costar. It’s fun to see Zooey Deschanel (New Girl) again despite the surprising snub of her show in the top race after its nomination last year, and I couldn’t be more ecstatic about seeing Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation) here. All told, quite a solid category.

Who could win? It’s been Louis-Dreyfus and Dunham, and I’ll give the fresher talent the edge.
