2021 GOLDEN GLOBE FINAL PREDICTIONS:
BEST TV SUPPORTING ACTRESS

UPDATED: Feb. 24, 2021

AWARDS COMMENTARY:
Should there be a “The Crown” sweep at this year’s Golden Globes — a real possibility — Gillian Anderson might be a part of that. She earned quite a bit of attention for her turn as the Iron Lady, former UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher, in this year’s “The Crown,” including some wonderfully chilly scenes opposite Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II. But as usual, the supporting categories in TV are a hodgepodge, and so she’s up against Annie Murphy from “Schitt’s Creek,” as well as “The Crown” co-star Helena Bonham Carter and “Ozark” standout Julia Garner. Less likely is “Ratched” star Cynthia Nixon, although she has earned six nominations over the years.
