I’m
really looking forward to seeing Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg hosting the show
tonight. As we wait for it, here are some predictions for the television
categories
DRAMA
Best Television Series—Drama
THE AMERICANS
BODYGUARD
HOMECOMING
KILLING EVE
POSE
THE AMERICANS
should win this one. It’s not been nominated before, but it particularly deserves
it for its stellar swan-song. The HFPA often surprises us with new wins, so I’m
going to go ahead and predict that the overwhelming love for THE AMERICANS this
year means that it will win.
Best
Performance By An Actress In A Television Series—Drama
Caitriona
Balfe, OUTLANDER
Elisabeth
Moss, THE HANDMAID'S TALE
Sandra
Oh, KILLING EVE
Julia
Roberts, HOMECOMING
Keri
Russell, THE AMERICANS
This is quite the category, with all
deserving performances. I want to see Keri Russell winning this one, but
something tells me it’ll be co-host for the evening, Sandra Oh.
Best
Performance By An Actor In A Television Series—Drama
Jason
Bateman, OZARK
Stephan
James, HOMECOMING
Richard
Madden, BODYGUARD
Billy
Porter, POSE
Matthew Rhys, THE AMERICANS
I
hope Matthew Rhys wins this. Even Richard Madden would deserve it, but I think
Rhys will win. He did already win an Emmy for THE AMERICANS.
COMEDY
Best Television Series—Musical Or
Comedy
BARRY
THE
GOOD PLACE
KIDDING
THE
KOMINSKY METHOD
THE
MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL
I
wish MAISEL wins. It deserves a second win. I enjoyed the second season even
more than the first.
Best Performance By An Actress In A Television Series—Musical
Or Comedy
Kristen
Bell, THE GOOD PLACE
Candice
Bergen, MURPHY BROWN
Alison
Brie, GLOW
Rachel
Brosnahan, THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL
Debra
Messing, WILL & GRACE
Maybe
they’ll give it to Debra Messing finally. She’s lost out on this Globe five
times already. But I think the HFPA will repeat a win here, and give it to
Brosnahan again.
Best
Performance By An Actor In A Television Series—Musical Or Comedy
Sacha
Baron Cohen, WHO IS AMERICA
Jim
Carrey, KIDDING
Michael
Douglas, THE KOMINSKY METHOD
Donald
Glover, ATLANTA
Bill
Hader, BARRY
Donald Glover will not win this
again. I suspect Jim Carrey will win for his moving performance in KIDDING.
LIMITED SERIES/TV MOVIE
Best Television
Limited Series Or Motion Picture Made For Television
THE
ALIENIST
THE
ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY
ESCAPE
AT DANNEMORA
SHARP
OBJECTS
A VERY ENGLISH SCANDAL
Unfortunately, it will be VERSACE.
Best Performance By An Actress In A Limited Series Or
A Motion Picture Made For Television
Amy
Adams, SHARP OBJECTS
Patricia
Arquette, ESCAPE AT DANNEMORA
Connie
Britton, DIRTY JOHN
Laura
Dern, THE TALE
Regina
King, SEVEN SECONDS
There’s
no frontrunner here like Nicole Kidman last year for BIG LITTLE LIES. Maybe Amy
Adams will win. If not her, I’d say Laura Dern.
Best Performance By An Actor In A Limited Series Or A
Motion Picture Made For Television
Antonio
Banderas, GENIUS: PICASSO
Daniel
Brühl, THE ALIENIST
Darren
Criss, THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY
Benedict
Cumberbatch, PATRICK MELROSE
Hugh
Grant, A VERY ENGLISH SCANDAL
Darren
Criss for sure!
SUPPORTING
Best Performance By An Actress In A Supporting Role In
A Series, Limited Series Or Motion Picture Made For Television
Alex
Borstein, THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL
Patricia
Clarkson, SHARP OBJECTS
Penélope
Cruz, THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY
Thandie
Newton, WESTWORLD
Yvonne
Strahovski, THE HANDMAID'S TALE
This
is a tight category, with many deserving performances. I think Strahovski
should win, for her heart breaking portrayal of Serena-Joy Waterford. But
something tells me it’ll be Thandie Newton.
Best Performance By An Actor In A Supporting Role In A

Ramírez, THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY
