In which categories are your TV favorites competing for the 2021 Golden Globes? In recent weeks, studios, networks and the Hollywood Foreign Press members have made some difficult decisions on placements for borderline shows and performers.
The HFPA is operating under a different set of rules this year: television shows are continuing with eligibility for the calendar year of 2020; films can debut through February, 2021. This move is different than the one for the SAG Awards, which has extended their deadline through February for both TV and movies.
We’ve got the full list below for dramas, comedies, limited series and TV movies, plus lead and supporting choices. Our summary does not include programs that were logical, easy categories to decide. It’s just the ones where major selections had to be discussed and even debated.
All of these choices are reflected in our Golden Globe Awards predictions center event, so jump in today and make your picks for all of the races before nominations are announced on February 3.
