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:
Alec Baldwin (30 Rock)
Don Cheadle (House of Lies)
Louis C.K. (Louie)
Matt LeBlanc (Episodes)
Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory)
Returning nominees:
Jason Bateman (Arrested Development)
New contenders:
Andre Braugher (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)
Michael J. Fox (The Michael J. Fox Show)
Andy Samberg (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)
Robin Williams (The Crazy Ones)
Potential first-time nominees:
Jake Johnson (New Girl)
Count three of these men out – LeBlanc, whose show didn’t air in 2013 but will be premiering again in 2014, Baldwin, whose show ended early this year for good, and C.K., whose show also skipped the 2013 calendar year. Parsons is all but guaranteed to return, and Cheadle’s repeat Emmy nomination suggests that he’ll be back too. Jason Bateman was the only aspect of “Arrested Development” to reap any Emmy love, and given that he won a Golden Globe back in 2004 for the role, he’s a good bet to earn a place. That leaves the new contenders, and I think Fox and Williams are out front, but Samberg and Braugher are possible too.
Current predictions:
Jason Bateman (Arrested Development)
Don Cheadle (House of Lies)
Michael J. Fox (The Michael J. Fox Show)
Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory)
Robin Williams (The Crazy Ones)
