My predictions: 3/5, picking “Mad Men” and “Game of Thrones” over “Boardwalk Empire” and “Breaking Bad”
What’s missing? Boss, Game of Thrones, The Good Wife, Mad Men
One of the biggest surprises of the day is the omission of “Mad Men” in this race in favor of other returning fare. I’m glad to see that, despite my prediction to the contrary, the increasingly terrific Boardwalk Empire returns, along with the very deserving Homeland. It’s no surprise to see Downton Abbey here after winning the miniseries award last year, and worth noting that “American Horror Story,” which was nominated here last year, missed out on a miniseries bid, earning only a nomination for last year’s winner Jessica Lange. It’s about time that Globe voters caught on to the quality of Breaking Bad, bestowing it with its first-ever nomination in this category for the first half of its fifth season. Joining the returning contenders is The Newsroom, one of the summer’s most memorable shows and a very deserving nominee here. This makes for one very competitive category.
What could win? It could be any of them, but I’ll say Downton Abbey right now.
