Golden Globes: The TV Nominations

In addition to their movie awards, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association also honors television programs and performers during their Golden Globes awards. They tend to like British and European actors (See: Catriona Balfe, Claire Foy, Gael Garcia Bernal, Charlotte Rampling, Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman, Hugh Laurie and Lena Headey in the list below...) as well as anything and everything Sarah Jessica Parker. Prestige pieces like The Crown on Netflix are also catnip to Golden Globe nominators.

Last year's comedy winner Mozart in the Jungle is back, but Mr. Robot, the drama champ, didn't make the cut. Likewise, the lead actors who win in comedy categories -- Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) and Gael Garcia Bernal (Mozart in the Jungle) -- are in the mix again, while their drama counterpoints -- Taraji P. Henson (Empire) and Jon Hamm (Mad Men) -- aren't nominated. Apparently the HFPA has decided it doesn't like Henson as much as it did last year, while Hamm's show is all done. Supporting winners Maura Tierney (The Affair) and Christian Slater (Mr. Robot) are MIA, as well. The supporting categories combine dramas, comedies, miniseries and television movies, however, so those lists are always crowded and hard to predict.
