Golden Globe Musings: Best TV Series – Drama


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:
Breaking Bad
Downton Abbey
The Good Wife
House of Cards
Masters of Sex


New contenders:
The Affair
The Knick
The Leftovers
Turn

Past nominees:
Boardwalk Empire
Game of Thrones
Homeland
Mad Men

Last year’s list isn’t likely to repeat since “The Good Wife” and “Masters of Sex” have lost some steam and “Breaking Bad” is long since over. If eligible, “True Detective” will surely take a spot, and I think that “The Leftovers” may actually be likeliest to snag another open spot. Any of the Emmy-winning shows listed under “past nominees” might make a return to the race as well.

Current predictions:
The Affair
Downton Abbey
The Good Wife
House of Cards
The Leftovers
