Cate Blanchett (Mrs. America) plays conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly in the FX on Hulu limited series. She has ten previous nominations, most recently last year for “Where’d You Go, Bernadette.” This is her first TV bid, and she’s won three times before, in 2013 for “Blue Jasmine,” in 2007 for “I’m Not There,” and in 1998 for “Elizabeth.” Though her show performed well at the Emmys, she is its lone representative here.
Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People) plays student Marianne Sheridan in the Hulu limited series. This is her first Globe nomination. Her show also contends for Best Limited Series.
Shira Haas (Unorthodox) plays the formerly religious Esty Shapiro in the Netflix limited series. This is her first Globe nomination. Her show also contends for Best Limited Series.
Nicole Kidman (The Undoing) plays Manhattan mother Grace Fraser in the HBO limited series. She has a whopping fourteen previous nominations, and this marks her fifth consecutive nomination after bids for “Big Little Lies,” “Destroyer,” and “Lion.” She won for season one of “Big Little Lies” in 2017, “The Hours” in 2002, “Moulin Rouge” in 2001, and “To Die For” in 1995. Her show is the most-nominated limited series with four total bids.
Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) plays chess prodigy Beth Harmon in the Netflix limited series. This is her first nomination, and she also contends this year for her performance in the film “Emma.” Her show is also nominated for Best Limited Series.
Additional notes: Blanchett and Haas were both nominated for the Emmys this past year, while Edgar-Jones was eligible but missed the cut.
Who should win? This isn’t Kidman’s best work, so she wouldn’t be my choice. The other four are truly terrific and it’s hard to pick between them. I’d probably select Haas though I’d be equally thrilled if the insanely deserving Edgar-Jones won.
Who will win? It’s competitive – I’m going to cautiously pick Taylor-Joy over Haas.
