'The Avengers' Poster Art Teases Marvel's Superhero Epic

Racking your brains on what is going to be nominated for just about any Golden Globe can be a fool's game. It's like identifying exactly how your crazy uncle will act in your house through the holidays.

Piper Perabo is lovely and gifted, but her nomination a year ago for top actress in the drama for USA's Covert Matters was, let's say, a solitary voice among the shouts and murmurs of qualified candidates.

Similarly, the HFPA isn't afraid to produce the wild-card pick -- the primary one you didn't really consider but isn't, upon further review, this kind of awful idea ultimately. So, inside the spirit of Globes' quirkiness, here's a range of possible nominees: Best Television Series, Drama Boss (Starz) and Homeland (Showtime). Both ought to be there, simply because they should for Emmy consideration, but both may be squashed out by more conventional (but equally worthy) picks for instance Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, Justified and Wager on Thrones. It wouldn't hurt to demonstrate somewhat respect for the overlooked -- like Foreign exchange's Sons of Anarchy and Cinemax's Treme -- however've got a coming suspicion that Foreign exchange's American Horror Story can be a more likely dark equine pick. PHOTOS: 'American Horror Story': Who's Who Best Actress in the Television Series, Drama Claire Danes seems the apparent pick for Homeland. But fixing the Emmys' slight of Khandi Alexander in Cinemax's Treme and Emmy Rossum in Showtime's Shameless wouldn't hurt either. Katey Sagal of Sons of Anarchy winning in this category a year ago will be a vibrant place. Another pleasing dark equine might be Michelle Fairley for Cinemax's Wager on Thrones. Best Actor in the Television Series, Drama Kelsey Grammer and Damian Lewis must be slam dunks for Boss and Homeland, correspondingly. But possess a light on for Sean Bean (Wager on Thrones) and Wendell Pierce (Treme). Competition here will probably be, not remarkably, intense.

Best Actress in the Television Series, Comedy or Musical Jane Levy in ABC's Suburgatory must be around, along with Laura Dern on her behalf performance in Cinemax's Enlightened. Martha Plimpton should have been here a year ago for Raising Hope Amy Poehler, too, for Parks and Entertainment. But, see, people latter are apparent -- as well as the reason they weren't nominated is really because, like the Emmys, the Globes possess a love for exceptional dramatic stars who get nominated for unfunny half-hour dramas. See: Falco, Edie. And hey, the show can always be finding its legs, but Christina Applegate in NBC's Up With The Evening is a wonderfully worthy choice. STORY: NBC Stretches 'Up With The Evening' in the Television Series, Comedy or Musical God only knows what's likely to occur here, but Make the most of McElhenney from Sunny and Jason Gann of Wilfred can make this the most effective Globes inside a very long time. And hang Garret Dillahunt (Raising Hope) and may Arnett (Up With The Evening) to the mix, shall we? Here's the main one factor about digging up overlooked talent on honours shows -- you will discover lots of good picks. It's nothing beats the Globes will probably right all the wrongs in the Emmys or, for the matter, the wrongs in the Globes themselves. No honours show will lard these nominations with brilliant but overlooked stars, even if which will thrill most of us. Hell, we haven't even discussed supporting roles or miniseries. Globes folks, if you want to become inspired as well as other -- which we wish you to definitely become exactly that -- there's no inadequate qualified talent.
