Updated February 26th, 2021
Here at Awards Radar, we strive to bring you the best coverage in awards and entertainment. With that in mind, we are excited to announce an increased focus on television and streaming series. Moving forward, we are committed to the same level of passionate, engaged reporting on the world of television and TV awards that you have relied on since our site first came on line.
To kick off our expanded television coverage, we assembled an ace team to discuss and predict the television categories at this Sunday’s Golden Globes. Mitchell Beaupre, Niki Cruz, Abe Friedtanzer, Chris James, and Steven Prusakowski put their heads together to break down each category, ranking the nominees in order from most likely to win, to least likely.
You will soon have quick access to our TV predictions, including our upcoming SAG Awards predictions for the television categories at our Awards Radar Predictions page.
See our breakdown of each Golden Globes TV category below. The team went for some seemingly obvious choices along with a few educated NGNG predictions for the curveballs that the Globes throw in every year. Be on the lookout for more TV coverage from Awards Radar coming soon!
The first category opens up the big discussion of the night, which is, how well is Schitt’s Creek going to perform? While it’s hard to see the beloved comedy having as dominant a sweep as it did at the Emmys, it’s still safe to say that it’ll be picking up at least a couple of awards. The question then becomes, where? With an interesting category, we think Dan Levy takes the prize here, although if he’s going to be defeated we’re placing our bets on Brendan Gleeson in the very showy role of a former President.
1. Dan Levy - Schitt’s Creek
In the sitcom "Schitt's Creek," a wealthy couple -- video store magnate Johnny and his soap opera star wife Moira -- suddenly find themselves completely broke. With only one remaining asset, a small town called Schitt's Creek, which the Roses bought years earlier as a joke, this once-wealthy couple must give up life as they know it. With their two spoiled children in tow and their pampered lives behind them, the Rose family is forced to face their newfound poverty head-on and come together as a family to survive.
2. Brendan Gleeson - The Comey Rule
A Belgian teenager hatches a plot to kill his teacher after embracing an extremist interpretation of the Quran.
3. John Boyega - Small Axe
Based on the real-life experiences of London's West Indian community between 1969 and 1982.
4. Donald Sutherland - The Undoing
A therapist's life unravels after she learns that her husband might be responsible for a widespread disaster.
5. Jim Parsons - Hollywood
In post-World War II Hollywood, aspiring actors and filmmakers will do almost anything to make their showbiz dreams come true.
