Golden Globe Musings: Best Actor in a TV Series – Drama
Golden Globe nominations for this year will be soon, so here’s a survey of the contenders and the most likely predictions at this time. Weigh in with your thoughts, and let me know if I’ve left off anyone important. A reminder that last year’s nominees mean zilch at the Globes and that the race is almost entirely unpredictable.
Last year’s nominees:
Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire)
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad)
Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom)
Jon Hamm (Mad Men)
Damian Lewis (Homeland)
New contenders:
Matthew Rhys (The Americans) Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan)
Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex)
Kevin Spacey (House of Cards)
James Spader (The Blacklist
Past nominees:
Michael C. Hall (Dexter)
There’s not much reason to suggest this list won’t be the same this year as it was last year, but there are a few vulnerable nominees. To date, Lewis hasn’t really appeared in his show, which makes the idea of him as a lead actor seem hard to take seriously. Buscemi was snubbed by Emmy voters along with his show, so Globe voters might follow suit. The likeliest new nominee is Spacey, though Spader could give him a run for his money.
Current predictions:
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad)
Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom)
Jon Hamm (Mad Men)
Kevin Spacey (House of Cards)
James Spader (The Blacklist)
