2012 Golden Globe Winner Predictions (TV Supporting Actress, and Best Actress for Drama, Musical, or Comedy)

Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries, or Television Film

Jessica Lange – American Horror Story

Kelly Macdonald – Boardwalk Empire

Maggie Smith – Downtown Abbey

Sofia Vergara – Modern Family

Evan Rachel Wood – Mildred Pierce

WHO SHOULD WIN: Jessica Lange for American Horror Story. No other role included someone so bitchy, but just so damn good! But then again, I keep saying every year just how long overdue an award for Sofia Vergara is, so she’s just as important to me as Lange.

WHO WILL WIN: Jessica Lange for American Horror Story. Seeing as how she won’t be on the show anymore (going along with their show’s concept of changing characters every year), they’d be a fool not to award her for this amazing role!

Best Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy

Laura Dern – Enlightened

Zooey Deschanel – New Girl

Tina Fey – 30 Rock

Laura Linney – The Big C

Amy Poehler – Parks and Recreation

WHO SHOULD WIN: Zooey Deschanel for New Girl. We’re missing Melissa McCarthy (who won the Emmy this year) and the awards favorite Edie Falco. But among this list of funny ladies, Zooey Deschanel is long overdue for her comedic timing and her spot on performance, especially on the hilarious new show!

WHO WILL WIN: Laura Linney for The Big C. Seeing as how they gave her the award over funnier actresses LAST year, I wouldn’t be surprised if they gave it to her again this year. (The Big C show is on my quee to watch, so I’ll judge the performance seriously when I finally get to see the show).

Best Actress in a Television Series – Drama

Claire Danes – Homeland

Mireille Enos – The Killing

Julianna Marguiles – The Good Wife

Madeleine Stowe – Revenge

Callie Thorne – Necessary Roughness

WHO SHOULD WIN: Madeleine Stowe for Revenge. I haven’t heard any other actress out of this bunch get as much attention as her. I have yet to catch up with everyone else on Revenge, but I will say that the bits I have seen of Stowe are just deliciously wonderful! 

WHO WILL WIN: Claire Danes for Homeland. I’m thinking that she’ll win a Golden Globe for a second year in a row, seeing as how this show has made a big splash with the rest of the competition nominated.
