Golden Globe Musings: Best 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:
Casual
Mozart in the Jungle 

Orange is the New Black
Silicon Valley
Transparent
Veep

New contenders:
Atlanta
Divorce
Fleabag
The Get Down
Insecure
Love

Past nominees:
The Big Bang Theory
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Girls
Jane the Virgin
Modern Family
Parks and Recreation

Potential first-time nominees:
Black-ish
You’re the Worst

Though Emmy voters forgot all about “Orange is the New Black,” I’m hoping Globe voters won’t. I imagine they will disregard last year’s winner, and I’m pulling for “Casual” to return with another mention. “Divorce” and “Atlanta” are all but guaranteed, “Insecure” is possible, and I’d love to see “Fleabag” but don’t think that’s too likely.

Current predictions:
Atlanta
Divorce 

Silicon Valley
Transparent
Veep
