Golden Globe nominations for this year will be announced 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:
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad)
Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan)
Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex)
Kevin Spacey (House of Cards)
James Spader (The Blacklist
New contenders:
Clive Owen (The Knick)
Justin Theroux (The Leftovers)
Dominic West (The Affair)
Past nominees:
Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire)
Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom)
Jon Hamm (Mad Men)
I said last year that this list might not change from the year before, and then Bryan Cranston ended up being the only nominee to return. Now he’s the only one who can’t contend again, though I suspect that the other four nominees – all from freshman series last year – are quite vulnerable since their shows have lost steam, and they may be replaced by nominees from past years or freshman series stars. Spacey is the only one who’s safe since the buzz on his show in season two was still very strong. “True Detective” isn’t considered at drama at the Globes, so count out Emmy nominees Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
Current predictions:
Clive Owen (The Knick)
Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan)
Kevin Spacey (House of Cards)
Justin Theroux (The Leftovers)
Dominic West (The Affair)
