2015 Golden Globe Predictions – Television

There are two factors that go into the winners of the for Television: (1) buzz (2) how new the show is. The Globes like to be ahead of the curve and tend to award untested first time series. However, somehow they seemed to have gotten right this time. With shows like The Affair, Jane the Virgin, and Transparent making the lineup, it seems that their strategy has actually paid off. Either way, it looks like returning series House of Cards should dominate the Drama Side, while Orange is the New Black will probably lead all series with 3 wins (Series, Actress, Supporting Actress). However, look for newbies like Transparent and The Affair to upset.

Check out our predictions for the television categories of the below and our predictions for the film categories here.

Best Television Series – Drama
Will Win: House of Cards
Could Win: The Affair
Should Win: The Good Wife

The only new series in this category is The Affair, so it just naturally has a good chance at winning, but I think the highly buzzed about second season of House of Cards is going to take this one.

Best Actor in a Television Series – Drama
Will Win: Kevin Spacey, House of Cards
Could Win: The Knick
Should Win: Dominic West, The Affair

After six straight losses on both the film and TV side, Kevin Spacey is pretty much locked in to win his first Globe.

Best Actress in a Television Series – Drama
Will Win: How to Get Away with Murder
Could Win: Ruth Wilson, The Affair
Should Win: How to Get Away with Murder

Viola Davis is a lock to win here, as she should be.
