Golden Globe Musings: Best 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:
Boardwalk Empire
Breaking Bad
Downton Abbey
Homeland
The Newsroom
New contenders:
The Americans
Bates Motel
The Blacklist
House of Cards
Masters of Sex
Orange is the New Black
Orphan Black
Past nominees:
Game of Thrones
The Good Wife
Mad Men
The Walking Dead
This category is due for a major shake-up this year. “Mad Men” got snubbed last year, and freshman series “The Newsroom” mad the cut instead. The strongest new contenders this year are “House of Cards” and “Orange is the New Black,” but a handful of others could also make it. I think voters will dismiss Sorkin’s new show and might even get rid of one of their other favorites.
Current predictions:
Breaking Bad
House of Cards
Homeland
Masters of Sex
Orange is the New Black
