Golden Globe Nominees: Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series


My predictions: 1/5, picking only Vergara
Who’s missing? Kathy Bates (American Horror Story), Kate Mulgrew (Orange is the New Black), Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife), Sarah Paulson (American Horror Story), Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey)

Eek. This ranks as one of my worst categories, and also one of the strangest lineups. For starters, there’s no Maggie Smith, whose show is represented only in the top race this year. Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) as the sole acting nominee from her show doesn’t feel right, and Hayden Panettiere (Nashville) earning a repeat nomination while costar Connie Britton was snubbed is odd. I’m thrilled for Monica Potter (Parenthood), who is finally earning some recognition after her show has been ignored all these years. I haven’t seen Jacqueline Bissett (Dancing on the Edge) and Janet McTeer (The White Queen) in their roles.

Who will win? Who knows? Maybe Potter?
