2020 Golden Globe Predictions
Updated February 26th, 2021
Annie Murphy pulled off a surprise win at the Emmys, but she’s up against tough competition here, as the Globes combine all of the television categories when nominating supporting performances. That means she’s up against former winner Gillian Anderson, and three acclaimed ladies who have never won. There’s a possibility that Anderson and Helena Bonham Carter take some votes away from each other, but with the much showier role this season we think that Anderson has it in the bag. Look out for Cynthia Nixon as a potential surprise, though, as the Globes clearly love Ratched, and the actress has been nominated five times previously without having won a Globe yet.
1. Gillian Anderson - The Crown
Based on an award-winning play ("The Audience") by showrunner Peter Morgan, this lavish, Netflix-original drama chronicles the life of Queen Elizabeth II from the 1940s to modern times. The series begins with an inside look at the early reign of the queen, who ascended the throne at age 25 after the death of her father, King George VI. As the decades pass, personal intrigues, romances, and political rivalries are revealed that played a big role in events that shaped the later years of the 20th century.
2. Cynthia Nixon - Ratched
A young nurse at a mental institution becomes jaded and bitter before turning into a full-fledged monster to her patients.
3. Julia Garner - Ozark
A financial advisor drags his family from Chicago to the Missouri Ozarks, where he must launder money to appease a drug boss.
4. Annie Murphy - 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.
5. Helena Bonham Carter - The Crown
Based on an award-winning play ("The Audience") by showrunner Peter Morgan, this lavish, Netflix-original drama chronicles the life of Queen Elizabeth II from the 1940s to modern times. The series begins with an inside look at the early reign of the queen, who ascended the throne at age 25 after the death of her father, King George VI. As the decades pass, personal intrigues, romances, and political rivalries are revealed that played a big role in events that shaped the later years of the 20th century.
