The Hollywood Foreign Press Association continued its tradition of recognizing newcomers, as the nominations for the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards, which were announced Thursday morning, were filled with shows that premiered in 2014.
After getting shut out by the Screen Actor's Guild on Wednesday, Amazon's critically-praised comedy Transparent received nods for both best TV comedy/musical and for star Jeffrey Tambor. The CW's Jane the Virgin also joined the best TV comedy/musical field (star Gina Rodriguez received a nod for lead actress as well), along with another newcomer in HBO's Silicon Valley. HBO's Girls and Netflix's Orange Is the New Black rounded out the field.
Starz's The Missing, FX's Fargo and HBO's True Detective dominated the miniseries/TV movie category with multiple nominations. Along with best miniseries nominations, Missing's Frances O'Connor scored a lead actress nomination, while Fargo nabbed three acting nods for Allison Tolman, Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman. True Detective received a trio of acting nods as well for leads Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, as well as Michelle Monaghan.
On the drama side, Clive Owen and Dominic West each scored lead actor nominations for their roles in Cinemax's The Knick and Showtime’s The Affair. West’s costar Ruth Wilson snagged a lead actress nod along with How to Get Away With Murder's Viola Davis. Showtime's newcomer also landed a nomination for Best TV Drama, along with Downton Abbey, The Good Wife, House of Cards and Game of Thrones.
HBO again was the most nominated network with 15 nods, followed by Showtime with nine nominations (including eight different acting nods), FX with eight nods and Netflix with seven. The two nominations for Jane the Virgin were the first in The CW’s history.
The Golden Globes will be held Jan. 11 and will air on NBC. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will return to host for the third and final time.
