Check & See If Your Favorite Shows Are Heading To The 2018 Golden Globes
It has been a bombshell year in television, with movie stars making their way to the small screen and sprawling sci-fi epics becoming more cinematic than ever. On Monday morning, Dec. 11, the Hollywood Foreign Press unveiled its list of nominations for this year's Golden Globe Awards, and the TV categories are stacked with tons of amazing shows from 2017. It will definitely be hard to pick out the winners, but we can always look at the 2017 Emmy winners from a couple months ago to get a good idea about frontrunners.
As you probably remember from September, the big winners at the Emmys this year were Big Little Lies and The Handmaid's Tale, two dark, female-led new dramas. Of course, both shows are also up for a bunch of Golden Globes as well, and they are the safest bets for sweeping the limited series and drama categories. Big Little Lies brings a powerhouse collection of film actresses to the small screen, including Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, and Nicole Kidman, who has already won the Emmy for her role in the HBO miniseries. The Handmaid's Tale is another new book adaptation getting a ton of critical love, and its lead Elisabeth Moss may very well follow up her Emmy win with a Golden Globe.
In the comedy categories, the frontrunners to watch will likely be Blackish and Master of None, along with newcomers this year like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, SMILF, and GLOW. These nominations cover a much more recent swath of show than the Emmys did earlier this year. The big winner there was Saturday Night Live, along with Atlanta and Veep.
