7 Shows That the Golden Globes Might Snub (Yes, Including Game of Thrones)
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has no problem dropping you like a bad habit -- even when you're the reigning champion -- which is, frankly, what makes the Globes so fun.
Sure, but shows rarely win their first series prize late into their runs at the Globes, with the exception of Breaking Bad, which won for its final season.
Mozart is the defending champ in comedy series and actor for Gael Garcia Bernal (the HFPA loves pairing series winners with an acting win), but it's the most susceptible to the Globes' "won and gone" game.
If the HFPA had to choose one to snub between Mozart and defending drama series champ Mr. Robot (which also earned Christian Slater a trophy), it's going to dump the surprise champ that has no buzz anywhere else, not a hot show that just won Rami Malek an Emmy.
The Globes clearly loves Amazon, but it could easily shun Transparent, which won comedy series and comedy actor for Jeffrey Tambor two years ago, in favor of Amazon newbies Fleabag and One Mississippi to fill that quota. 5.
Orange will likely hang on to the "Netflix slot" in comedy series, but it could very well get squeezed out because of the fresh blood in the form of FX's Atlanta, HBO's Insecure and Divorce, the latter of which stars Globe darling Sarah Jessica Parker, and the aforementioned Fleabag and One Mississippi. 6.
Veep is the two-time defending comedy series champ at the Emmys, but the Globes is basically allergic to it.
Last year was the first time the show was even nominated for comedy series -- you know it was because the HFPA didn't want to look dumb for never nominating an Emmy winner -- and Julia Louis-Dreyfus has never won a Globe for the show (the only major trophy she's missing for playing Selina Meyer).
