Golden Globe Predictions – Television

Published by

One thing about the television side of Golden Globes that can often make them better than the Emmys is the groups’ openness to nominating fresh, new shows and performers right off the bat. We’ve gotten inspired nominations and wins in the past (everything from Felicity to Mozart in the Jungle) and it makes for a wilder group and a significantly tougher set of predictions. 

Golden Globe Predictions – Motion Picture

Expect to see some new shows like Homecoming, Pose, Kidding and Forever here but also expected noms for The Handmaid’s Tale, This Is Us and the final season of The Americans
