Golden Globes TV nominations -- the snubs - Denver Post Blogs

The 2013 Golden Globe nominations released this morning pose an array of questions, but they weren’t as wildly unpredictable as usual. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is known for its inscrutable picks. Leave dissection of the movie noms to others; the TV categories were mostly as expected, with a couple of glaring omissions.


“Orange is the New Black” was left out of the best series nominations (maybe because it was entered by Netflix as a drama and it’s really a tragicom/dramedy). “Mad Men” was snubbed entirely. Again. (True, it didn’t enjoy its best season, but really?) “Downton Abbey,” a period piece that had a rough season in terms of storytelling, landed a best series nomination ahead of “Homeland,” “The Americans,” “Mad Men” “Game of Thrones” and “OITNB.”


At least they included the obvious names in the best actor and best actress categories. Hayden Panettiere and Jon Voight are leading contenders for their supporting roles (“Nashville” and “Ray Donovan,” respectively). Glad to see Michael Sheen in the running for his turn as the brittle, egomaniacal Dr. Masters on “Masters of Sex,” but Lizzy Caplan should have had the slot occupied by Sophia Vergara.
