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:
Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife)
Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black)
Taylor Schilling (Orange is the New Black)
Kerry Washington (Scandal)
Robin Wright (House of Cards)
Past nominees:
Claire Danes (Homeland)
Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey)
Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men)
New contenders:
Halle Berry (Extant)
Viola Davis (How to Get Away with Murder)
Anna Gunn (Gracepoint)
Katherine Heigl (State of Affairs)
Tea Leoni (Madam Secretary)
Debra Messing (The Mysteries of Laura)
Ruth Wilson (The Affair)
Potential first-time nominees:
Lizzy Caplan (Masters of Sex)
This category has undergone a lot of change in recent years. A maximum of two nominees have been preserved each year. All five of last year’s nominees could be back again, though Schilling will now compete in the comedy race, leaving one slot open. Emmy nominee Caplan, Berry, Davis, or Wilson will be competing most strongly for the spot, and two-time winner Danes might be welcomed back after the critical resurgence of her show. I do think that all four eligible nominees from last year are very likely to repeat.
Current predictions:
Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife)
Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black)
Kerry Washington (Scandal)
Ruth Wilson (The Affair)
Robin Wright (House of Cards)
