Sunday (Jan. 17) is the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards Ceremony. Ricky Gervais will be hosting, so it should be entertaining. Previously, I posted my predictions for the movie categories. Here are my predictions for the television portion of the awards. My favorite series of last year (by far) was True Blood. There is no way it is going to win. Could it? All the other series named here are boring in comparison. I have got to pick it. I'm also a big fan of Big Love, but it is not as good as True Blood.
Best Actress in a TV Drama Series -- Nominees -- Glenn Close (Damages), January Jones (Mad Men), Julianna Marulies (The Good Wife), Anna Paquin (True Blood), and Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer)
It would be hard not to give any award to Glenn Close. I don't watch Damages, but I do realize that Anna Paquin (though an Academy Award winner for The Piano), is no Glenn Close. Is anyone else even Close? I pick Glenn.
Best Actor in a TV Drama Series -- Nominees -- Simon Baker (The Mentalist), Michael C. Hall (Dexter), Jon Hamm (Mad Men), Hugh Laurie (House), and Bill Paxton (Big Love)
I have to go with Bill Paxton in Big Love. I loved Michael C. Hall in Six Feet Under, but I have not been able to get interested in Dexter. None of the others impresses me much. Sorry Hugh.
Best Television Comedy Series -- Nominees -- 30 Rock, Entourage, Glee, Modern Family, and The Office
I have to go with 30 Rock. I love Modern Family and Glee has its moments (but not many comedic ones). However, 30 Rock wins just for the send up of Susan Boyle and the HD camera. It makes me laugh.
Best Actress in a TV Comedy Series -- Nominees -- Toni Collette (United States of Tara), Courntney Cox (Cougar Town), Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Tina Fey (30 Rock), and Lea Michele (Glee)
Shane is going to divorce me for not picking Courtney Cox. He won't erase Cougar Town form our DVR. I think Toni Collette could win, but I don't love that show. It is OK. I'm glad that Lea Michele got a nomination for Glee. We saw her on Broadway in Spring Awakening. Lover her. I also love Tina Fey, but I'm not sure she deserves an award for her acting. However, I would pick Edie Falco for Nurse Jackie. How did that show not get more nominations? It is the best!
Best Actor in a TV Comedy Series -- Nominees -- Alec Baldwin (30 Rock), Steve Carell (The Office), David Duchovny (Californication), Thomas Jane (Hung), and Matthew Morrison (Glee)
Alec Baldwin is the best.
Best Mini-Series or Motion Picture for TV -- Nominees -- Georgia O'Keefe, Grey Gardens, Into the Storm, Little Dorrit, and Taking Chance
Grey Gardens is my pick. Yes. It was the onl.y one I saw, but I loved it!
Best Actress in a Mini-Series of Motion Picture Made for TV -- Nominees -- Joan Allen (Georgia O'Keefe), Drew Barrymore (Grey Gardens), Jessica Lange (Grey Gardens), Anna Paquin (The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler), and Sigourney Weaver (Prayers for Bobby)
I love Joan Allen in anything, but I could not get interested in Georgia O'Keefe (Sorry Georgia). It has to be a dual between the Grey Garden gals, and since Jessica won the Emmy, I hope Drew gets the Golden Globe.
Best Actor in a Mini-Series of Motion Picture Made for TV -- Nominees -- Kevin Bacon (Taking Chance), Kenneth Branagh (Wallander: One Step Behind), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Endgame), Brendan Gleeson (Into the Storm, and Jeremy Irons (Georgia O'Keefe)
I have no clue who is going to win this category, but I hope Chiwetel Ejiofor wins, just so we can hear the presenter butcher his name.
Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for TV -- Nominees -- Jane Adams (Hung), Rose Byrne (Damages), Jane Lynch (Glee), Janet McTeer (Into the Storm), and Chloe Sevigny (Big Love)
Though I love Chloe Sevigny in Big Love, I have to go for Jane Lynch in Glee. She is always awesome, and should have gotten a nomination for Julie and Julia.
Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for TV -- Nominees -- Michael Emerson (Lost), Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), William Hurt (Damages), John Lithgow (Dexter), and Jeremy Piven (Entourage)
Somebody please explain to me why everyone is so enthralled with Jeremy Piven. I don't get it. I have no idea who will win this award. John Lithgow always seems to win whenever he is nominated. William Hurt is always good, and Neil Patrick Harris should get an award for hosting the Tony Awards. I will guess Lithgow will win.
