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


Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries, or Television Film
Peter Dinklage – Game of Thrones
Paul Giamatti – Too Big To Fail
Guy Pearce – Mildred Pierce
Tim Robbins – Cinema Verite
Eric Stonestreet – Modern Family
WHO SHOULD WIN: Peter Dinklage for Game of Thrones. I haven’t seen a lot of the made-for-TV films this year, other than Too Big To Fail, and Paul Giamatti always has amazing performances. But Peter Dinklage has had great performances in the past too, and seeing as how he just won the Emmy, it should be going to him.
WHO WILL WIN: Eric Stonestreet for Modern Family. The Golden Globes always pulls out some kind of surprise, so I wouldn’t be shocked if it went to Stonestreet this time.

Best Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy
Alec Baldwin – 30 Rock
David Duchovny – Californication
Johnny Galecki – The Big Bang Theory
Thomas Jane – Hung
Matt LeBlanc – Episodes
WHO SHOULD WIN: Johnny Galecki for The Big Bang Theory. First of all, why on earth does the unfunny Thomas Jane keep getting nominated? And over Steve Carell’s final season of The Office? AND Louis C.K.? BLASPHEMY! And seeing as how Jim Parsons (the two-time Emmy winner) isn’t in this category, I’m hoping Galecki sneaks in for the win.
WHO WILL WIN: Matt LeBlanc for Episodes. Of course, the Golden Globes will surprise us and choose the winner of an underestimated comedy performance (a la Katey Segal’s win last year for Sons of Anarchy). Or maybe even going to Duchovny for Californication?

Best Actor in a Television Series – Drama
Steve Buscemi – Boardwalk Empire
Bryan Cranston – Breaking Bad
Kelsey Grammer – Boss
Jeremy Irons – The Borgias
Damian Lewis – Homeland
WHO SHOULD WIN: Jeremy Irons for The Borgias. Very strong, solid performance from Irons on this show. 
WHO WILL WIN: Kelsey Grammer for Boss. I have a feeling they’ll be giving this award to another underrated drama performance to someone who finally scored a good job on a decent show.
