Golden Globe Nominees: Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a TV Series

My predictions: 3/5, picking Cannavale and Hayes
Who’s missing? Sean Hayes, Joseph Fiennes, Bobby Cannavale

Should I get like 5% credit for picking another actor from the same show in place of Christian Slater (Mr. Robot), who continues to get nominated here despite zero Emmy nominations and his show, which is excellent, not showing up in any other category? I would have chosen Bobby Cannavale for this season, but Slater is great and so is the show. With John Lithgow out of contention, he’s replaced by another regular TV series star, Emmy nominee David Harbour (Stranger Things), who I like but who isn’t quite as good as some of the kids on that show (maybe Lucas for season two over Dustin?). Representing limited series we have Emmy winner Alexander Skarsgard (Big Little Lies) and nominees Alfred Molina (Feud: Bette and Joan) and David Thewlis (Fargo), hardly my favorite part of a weak third season. I don’t have much to say about this category - it’s not the best this year.

Who will win? I’d go with Skarsgard to repeat after his Emmy win.
