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:
Connie Britton (Nashville)
Glenn Close (Damages)
Claire Danes (Homeland)
Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey)
Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife)
Past nominees:
Mireille Enos (The Killing)
Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men)
New contenders:
Lizzy Caplan (Masters of Sex)
Toni Collette (Hostages)
Vera Farmiga (Bates Motel)
Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black)
Keri Russell (The Americans)
Taylor Schilling (Orange is the New Black)
Robin Wright (House of Cards)
Potential first-time nominees:
Kerry Washington (Scandal)
This category has undergone a lot of change in recent years. The number of nominees kept from 2010 to 2011 was just one, and only two survived from 2011 to 2012. Only Close isn’t eligible this year, and there are a bunch of people vying for her spot. Washington is probably the likeliest, though she also has new Emmy nominees Farmiga and Wright to fight off, as well as Emmy-eligible snubees Maslany and Russell, plus new contenders Caplan and Collette. I think that Schilling would have fared better in comedy, but she might be able to make it in here too. Margulies is vulnerable because Emmy voters snubbed her, and Globe voters sometimes follow suit. This category often includes random selections, so don’t be surprised if some truly crazy choices get in here, or if this race includes all new nominees and no returning favorites.
Current predictions:
Claire Danes (Homeland)
Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife)
Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black)
Taylor Schilling (Orange is the New Black)
Kerry Washington (Scandal)
