Golden Globe Winner Predictions: Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series


The competition: Josh Charles’ lawyer (The Good Wife), Rob Lowe’s plastic surgeon (Behind the Candelabra), Aaron Paul’s meth cook (Breaking Bad), Corey Stoll’s alcoholic congressman (House of Cards), and Jon Voight’s mobster father (Ray Donovan).

For your information: This category is entirely fresh, though it has some familiar faces within it. Lowe is a past nominee for “The West Wing” among other things, and so is Voight, who this year earns his tenth career nomination (he has won three times – all for fiml work). Charles is here for the first time in his show’s run for its fifth season, and Paul also earns his first-ever mention despite two Emmy wins. Stoll is another new face in the race. Lowe is the only representative from a TV movie or miniseries. All but “Ray Donovan” are also recognized in the corresponding top races.

Who should win? I haven’t seen Lowe, but I’d vote for Charles or Voight.

Who will win? Globe voters will want to honor Paul unless they opt for veteran Voight.
