Golden Globe Musings: Best Actress in a TV Series – Comedy/Musical

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:
Lena Dunham (Girls)
Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie)
Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep)
Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin)
Taylor Schilling (Orange is the New Black)

New contenders:
Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend)
Jane Fonda (Grace and Frankie)
Ellie Kemper (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt)
Emma Roberts (Scream Queens)
Lily Tomlin (Grace and Frankie)

Past nominees:
Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation)

It was great to see Rodriguez get nominated – and win – last year. This year, I think that both Dunham and Falco will be let go, and they’ll instead be replaced by some combination of Bloom, Kemper, and Tomlin.

Current predictions:
Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend)
Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep)
Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin)
Taylor Schilling (Orange is the New Black)
Lily Tomlin (Grace and Frankie)
