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:
Zooey Deschanel (New Girl)
Lena Dunham (Girls)
Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie)
Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep)
Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation)
New contenders:
Cristela Alonzo (Cristela)
Lisa Kudrow (The Comeback)
Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin)
Taylor Schilling (Orange is the New Black)
This may be the least interesting race this year since all five nominees are all but guaranteed to repeat, with one new face – Schilling, transplanted from drama last year, which likely means that Emmy voters influence their Golden Globe counterparts into unceremoniously ditching Deschanel. I don’t see either Alonzo or Rodriguez having enough support to bump someone else, but maybe I’m underestimating some completely random contender who may have a shot at surprising.
Current predictions:
Lena Dunham (Girls)
Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie)
Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep)
Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation)
Taylor Schilling (Orange is the New Black)
