Ecks needs to go back to the drawing board
. Not only is Mad Men not eligible, he forgot to include 2 supporting actor winners from the 2011 Emmys into the supporting actor category. Connie Britton's nomination in the wrong show
El Murato, I didn't specify any supporting nods for miniseries/made-for because I am not familiar with any of them, hence "Insert acting nod for miniseries/made-for movie". Guy Pearce is the likely choice, yes, but I'm not going to pretend I have a knowledge of miniseries or made-for-TV movies.
Mad Men's missing season is completely a mistake on my part. It had been eligible for the Emmy Awards, and without further research, I had assumed it was eligible for the Globes, not realizing it had not aired in 2011.
Peter Dinklage and Game of Thrones are oversights, largely due to my having not seen the show yet. It's no excuse, surely, but it's the truth. In fact, if Mad Men had been eligible, Game of Thrones would not be on my list of predictions.
Sorry, not changing my prediction of Connie Britton for American Horror Story, nor am I including Friday Night Lights, simply because I don't believe it's eligible. Ten years ago, 24 almost was not eligible in its first year because it had not aired seven episodes in the deadline period, only six. However last year, The Walking Dead only aired six and was nominated for Best Drama. Still, the last episode aired February 9th on DirecTV. The Globes likely aren't nominating it. They operate mainly on buzz, not always merit. But I do believe Connie Britton is a great actress and is a bright light on Horror Story.
I do apologize, El Murato. Believe me when I say I did lots of research for the predictions. I didn't throw these together, as you may think. My two oversights were A. an absolutely innocent mistake (mixing up Mad Men's latest season air date) and B. complete ignorance (Game of Thrones).
