Golden Globe Nominees: Best Actor in a TV Series - Comedy/Musical

My predictions: 3/5, picking Azaria and Gilchrist over Bacon and Macy
Who’s missing? Gael Garcia Bernal, Nick Nolte, Jeffrey Tambor, Larry David, Hank Azaria, Keir Gilchrist

We have just one nominee to preserve in this category from last year, and that’s Anthony Anderson (Black-ish). Strangely, William H. Macy (Shameless), a great actor who for some reason is the only one of his superb ensemble ever to get awards attention, is back after a lone nomination three years ago, which isn’t typical of the Globes. Aziz Ansari (Master of None) makes sense after his nomination for season one, and Eric McCormack (Will and Grace) is back after five consecutive bids through 2003 and as the only acting nominee for his show. I can’t begin to comprehend why Kevin Bacon (I Love Dick) is here since I found that show insufferable, but aside from that, this is a good list of funny men.

Who will win? With a list like this, who knows? I’d say Ansari over McCormack, but it could be any of them.
