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:
The Big Bang Theory
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Girls
Modern Family
Parks and Recreation
Returning nominees:
Episodes
New contenders:
Silicon Valley
Transparent
Potential first-time nominees:
Louie
Orange is the New Black
Veep
Though it won last year, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” shouldn’t be considered a slam dunk for a nomination this year. Golden Globe voters have dismissed shows immediately after their first nominations and wins in the past many times, so there’s no reason this year shouldn’t be any different. I’m hopeful that “Episodes” could return after a year off the air and worried that “Parks and Recreation” might not. I’m not sure why Globe voters would finally wake up to “Louie” and “Veep” existing right now, and I think they might be more open to new shows “Silicon Valley” and “Transparent,” and “Orange is the New Black,” rightfully recognized in this category now.
Current predictions:
The Big Bang Theory
Episodes
Modern Family
Orange is the New Black
Transparent
