tHe GoLden GLoBeS’ tv CateGoRIeS need FReSH meat What’s NeW? By Ray RICHmond When it comes to the Golden Globes, people tune in to see Hollywood press the flesh, TV stars mingle with movie stars, and a much–hyped award show from the insular Hollywood Foreign Press Association. But studios and networks see the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards as a night–long marketing opportunity and lavishly lobby the HFPA to score nominations. That’s especially true in television. The problem is that this year’s freshman class of fall primetime shows is lacking the “wow” factor of last year’s Glee (Fox) and Modern Family (ABC). Sure, HBO’s high–pricetag drama Boardwalk Empire comes complete with big screen character actor Steve Buscemi and indieprod regular Michael Pitt and legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese and Sopranos writing alum Terence Winter. But will that satisfy the HFPA’s penchant for putting star wattage above other factors? When Globe nominations are announced on December 14, expect the usual TV awards season suspects like Mad Men’s Jon Hamm (AMC) and The Closer’s Kyra Sedgwick and Nurse Jackie’s Edie Falco (Showtime), as well as 30 Rock’s Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin (NBC), and The Office’s Steve Carell (NBC). But the HFPA may also embrace other famous faces like Sopranos fave Michael Imperioli for Detroit 1–8–7 (ABC) or The Shield’s Michael Chiklis (ABC) and Dexter’s Julie Benz for No Ordinary Family (ABC), or big and small screen starlet Piper Perabo for Covert Affairs (USA). HeRe IS an eaRLy Look at WHat and WHo mIGHt Be In GoLden GLoBe ContentIon: dRama The class is obviously Boardwalk Empire (HBO) given its production pedigree and sizeable buzz. That said, there is always the chance that HFPA members will heed the decidedly mixed critical reception that’s greeted the Prohibition–period series. Despite his modest awards nomination history that includes a Globe nod for Ghost World in 2002, Buscemi has to be seen as a strong contender since he’s a movie guy doing television. That isn’t the case with Chiklis, but he’s got nice history with the HFPA (three nominations for The Shield, including a win in 2003). Rubicon (AMC) and relative unknown James Badge Dale had the best chance to bust through until the show was recently cancelled. No matter: AMC’s Mad Men may make it four wins in a row. The first seasons of HBO’s kudo–ed Treme with Melissa Leo (an Oscar nominee for Frozen River in 2009) and Justified (FX) with Timothy Olyphant (as crime novelist Elmore Leonard’s macho 21st century U.S. Marshal) could get attention. 24 deadline.com Comedy oR mUSICaL Both Glee and Modern Family could sweep since no performer from either show won last year. But, with so many quality contenders, The Big C (Showtime) may debut a nomination due to the cancer victim performance of awards magnet Laura Linney. Plus, the HFPA seems on a Showtime high of late. Then there’s Californication’s David Duchovny (Showtime) who has been nominated seven times. Louie (FX) starring Louis C.K. has the single camera favored by the HFPA which hasn’t honored a multi–camera series in years. Sophomore HBO comedy Bored to Death also has a shot with its star power (Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson, and Zach Galifianakis) even though it’s received lukewarm reviews. Working in its favor is a recent third season renewal. Of course, the HFPA could honor quirky, like David Cross in The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margret (IFC), William Shatner in $#*! My Dad Says (CBS), and Betty White in Hot in Cleveland (TV Land). the 68 th aNNual GoldeN Globe aWards Will be held JaNuary 16 at the beverly hiltoN aNd be broadcast live oN Nbc.
