Golden Globe Nominees: Best TV Series - Comedy/Musical

My predictions: 4/5, picking “Veep” over “SMILF”
Who’s missing? Veep, Mozart in the Jungle, Transparent, Insecure, GLOW, The Good Place, Curb Your Enthusiasm

Now this is very much like Globe voters: jettisoning the three previous eligible winners, all eligible, and holding on only to last year’s new addition Black-ish. To be fair, they also brought back six-time nominee Will and Grace after a fourteen-year break. I’m happy that The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is here, and equally thrilled about SMILF, a surprise nominee that I’ve been enjoying very much. I really liked a lot of Master of None season two, so that being here is great too. This is definitely an original list, even if it doesn’t look exactly like mine.

Who will win? Given Globe voters’ typical enthusiasm for new things, I’d go with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
