2012 Golden Globes Nominations (Best Series, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress)

Best Series
Musical or Comedy
30 Rock
Glee
Modern Family
New Girl
Nurse Jackie

You can expect to see the usuals in this category: 30 Rock, Glee, Modern Family, and Nurse Jackie. But I wouldn’t be surprised seeing New Girl sneak in there, given the fact that The Office is now definitely out of its prime.

Best Actress
Drama
Connie Britton – American Horror Story
Stana Katic – Castle
Jessica Lange – American Horror Story
Julianna Marguiles – The Good Wife
Kyra Sedgwick – The Closer

I would LOVE to see Connie Britton get nominated in this category! Stana Katic had an amazing season on Castle. Jessica Lange is as fierce as ever on American Horror Story. And Julianna Marguiles and Kyra Sedgwick seem like shoe-ins.

Musical or Comedy
Zooey Deschanel – New Girl
Edie Falco – Nurse Jackie
Laura Linney – The Big C
Melissa McCarthy – Mike & Molly
Amy Poehler – Parks & Recreation

How can you not nominate the adorable and genius that is Zooey Deschanel!? Edie Falco and Laura Linney are obvious picks. Having won the Emmy award already, I’m hoping to see Melissa McCarthy get a nomination. And who can forget the other genius that is Amy Poehler!?

Best Supporting Performance – Actress
Julie Bowen – Modern Family
Margo Martindale - Justified
Naya Rivera - Glee
Maya Rudolph – Up All Night
Sofia Vergara – Modern Family

Julie Bowen deserves to see another recognition for her performance as Claire. Margo Martindale won for Justified at the Emmys, so expect to see her here too. Naya Rivera stepped up her game and got a really great storyline of coming out. Maya Rudolph is one of the standouts this season on television. And Sofia Vergara is outstanding as usual.
