The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is famous for recognizing underrated TV series on their annual awards show, but which Golden Globe nominees would benefit the most from a win on Jan. 6? (See the full list of nominees here.)
“Pose” A landmark TV series when it comes to LGBTQ representation, a win in one of its two categories could help usher in a wave of like-minded counterparts.
The HFPA loves to honor the new “it” shows. “Killing Eve” would certainly fit that bill, and the BBC America series pulled off one of the rarest TV feats: Its ratings improved every week. Plus, star Sandra Oh will already be in the building.
“Homecoming” Getting a win in one of its three categories would go a long way for this high-profile series from Amazon. It could even help convince Julia Roberts to return for Season 2.
“The Good Place” Despite critical acclaim (and an early 4th season pickup), Mike Schur’s afterlife comedy doesn’t have the trophies to match its quality, and it’s time for that to change. That mind-bending fall finale deserves an award all by itself.
“Kidding” This is Jim Carrey’s first Golden Globe nomination since 2005’s “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” Carrey re-teamed with “Eternal Sunshine” director Michel Gondry for “Kidding” and you can’t ignore symmetry like that.
“GLOW” Netflix’s wrestling series has a lot of award nominations without any major wins. Alison Brie, nominated for the second year in a row, would certainly love to change that.
“The Alienist” Perhaps one of the more surprising nominees, but a win in at least one of its two categories would go a long way in helping Turner become a place for “Prestige TV.”
“Escape at Dannemora” Ben Stiller + Benicio del Toro + Paul Dano + Patricia Arquette should lead to at least one win for this Showtime limited series, right?
“The Kominksy Method” This older-skewing Chuck Lorre series starring Alan Arkin and Michael Douglas could find the fountain of youth(ful viewers) with a win or two.
“A Very English Scandal” Despite being nominated in three categories, this BBC series, which Amazon streamed for U.S. viewers, flew under the radar. A win would change that.
