I am glad to see Freddie Highmore nominated, never thought a medical drama would be one of my favorites this year.

Billy Bob Thornton’s victory last year as the best TV drama actor for Goliath is one example of the Globes caring more about celebrity, or making unusual choices, than actually awarding on merit, says Melanie McFarland. “This illustrates the Globes’ questionable relevance to more prestigious industry awards or citations of merit,” she says. "It’s doubtful that (the Hollywood Foreign Press Association) has more esoteric tastes than the average viewer, enabling its voters to see a greatness in Thornton’s performance that escaped the majority of viewers. Although the organization has long battled rumors of studios 'buying' awards with bribery, the explanation for its perplexing and disappointing choices over the years is likely far more basic and boring. That is, its voters are more easily dazzled by celebrity than those of other organizations.”

The Golden Globes is losing its reputation of being “hip and with-it” when it comes to TV
As Vox points out, “in the past, the Globes often led the way when it came to the TV prizes, awarding new series that the Emmys often weren’t hip enough to touch. But due to the way TV’s awards calendar is increasingly turning the spring into the medium’s equivalent of Oscar season — the better to qualify at the last minute for the Emmys — the Globes (which take the full calendar year into account) increasingly have to follow the lead of the Television Academy, as they did in rewarding both Big Little Lies and The Handmaid’s Tale.”
