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:
Jason Bateman (Arrested Development)
Don Cheadle (House of Lies)
Michael J. Fox (The Michael J. Fox Show)
Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory)
Andy Samberg (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)
Returning nominees:
Louis C.K. (Louie)
Matt LeBlanc (Episodes)
New contenders:
Anthony Anderson (Black-ish)
Ricky Gervais (Derek)
Tom Middleditch (Silicon Valley)
Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent)
This category shouldn’t be too difficult since two nominees from last year – Bateman and Fox – aren’t eligible this year, while C.K. and LeBlanc, who sat last year out because their shows didn’t air, could easily just take their places. But watch out for Tambor, who will need voter enthusiasm for Amazon projects but shouldn’t have too much trouble meriting a nomination given his reputation and the strong reception the show has received, and Gervais, a past winner in this category and also the star of a streaming comedy. Likeliest to lose out on a spot to make room for them are Cheadle or last year’s winner Samberg.
Current predictions:
Louis C.K. (Louie)
Ricky Gervais (Derek)
Matt LeBlanc (Episodes)
Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory)
Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent)
