2024 Golden Globe TV Predictions: ‘Shōgun’ Expected to Dominate
The Golden Globe nominations for TV this year are sure to feature some of the most popular programs of the year, both new and returning, as well as some familiar big-name stars. With talents like Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Jodie Foster gracing our screens, the nominations are bound to reflect their star power in the realm of television. While shows like AppleTV+’s Disclaimer may not have made the biggest waves, it’s hard to imagine the Hollywood Foreign Press Association overlooking Alfonso Cuaron or the show’s leading lady, Cate Blanchett. Jake Gyllenhaal is also likely to snag a nomination for his role in Presumed Innocent, while Jodie Foster is a shoo-in for a nod for True Detective: Night Country. It’s no surprise that all three of these performances are in limited series, providing a perfect opportunity for big stars to shine on the small screen, even if it’s just for a short time.
New shows are expected to make their mark in the nominations, with series like Fallout, Matlock, Shōgun, Nobody Wants This, and English Teacher poised to earn recognition in major categories. When it comes to television, the Golden Globes have a history of being drawn to fresh and innovative content, so don’t be surprised if these shows dominate some categories. Comedies like Nobody Wants This and English Teacher are likely to see their leads—Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, and Brian Jordan Alvarez—landing nominations come Monday morning. On the flip side, as What We Do in the Shadows enters its final season, and with Matt Berry’s previous Emmy nod, it could still scoop up a few last nominations from the HFPA.
One of the standout shows this year, Shōgun, is expected to make a splash with Anna Sawai almost guaranteed a nomination in the Lead Actress in a Drama Series category. Hiroyuki Sanada, Shōgun’s lead actor, is also expected to receive a nomination in the Lead Actor in a Drama Series category, making it a tough contender in any category it’s nominated in. Another show to keep an eye on is English Teacher, with creator and lead, Brian Jordan Alvarez, likely reveling in more nominations with every nod, potentially showcasing his dance moves in a promotional effort uniquely crafted by him.
Overall, the Golden Globe nominations for television are shaping up to be an exciting mix of veteran talent and new, innovative shows across both drama and comedy categories. With a diverse pool of programs and performances vying for the spotlight, it’s going to be a thrilling awards season to witness.
