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

My predictions: 3/5, picking Louis-Dreyfus and Messing over Adlon and Shaw
Who’s missing? Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tracee Ellis Ross, Debra Messing, Rachel Bloom, Gina Rodriguez

Now this is the kind of thing that Globe voters like to do, dropping the three previous eligible winners and knocking off the six-time Emmy champ Louis-Dreyfus, whose snub I wish I wasn’t brave enough to predict. In fact, there’s just one returning nominee, the wonderful Issa Rae (Insecure), and she’s joined by another sophomore series actress, Pamela Adlon (Better Things). I’m thrilled about Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) making the cut as I thought even though I’m only two episodes into her show, and I’m thrilled to see the talented Frankie Shaw (SMILF) show up here, which I didn’t expect. And I didn’t stick with her show, but I do like Alison Brie (GLOW) and I’m happy to see her among this list of extremely funny and awesome women.

Who will win? I think it will be Brosnahan, but maybe Shaw or Brie?
