Golden Globes TV Nominations Analysis: ‘1923’, ‘Lawmen: Bass Reeves’ & ‘Jury Duty’ Earn First-Season Noms, But No Love For Cousin Greg
Taylor Sheridan’s 1923 and Amazon Freevee’s Jury Duty made a welcome showing at the Golden Globe nominations Monday, while the final season of Succession on HBO earned a deserved yet predictable round of nominations.
The Yellowstone prequel — the second created by Sheridan after 1883 — earned nominations in the Best Drama category and the Actress category, with Helen Mirren earning a nod for playing the Dutton matriarch. Other memorable performances in the prequel were overlooked, like Harrison Ford’s turn as Jacob Dutton and the phenomenal Aminah Nieves as Teonna Rainwater, but it was a win for Paramount+ to see one of Sheridan’s joints get some early recognition.

Speaking of which, David Oyelowo earned a nomination for his leading role in Lawmen: Bass Reeves – Sheridan’s new anthology that only dropped last month on Paramount+. He’s competing in the Actor/Limited Series category alongside Matt Bomer (Fellow Travelers), Woody Harrelson (White House Plumbers), Jon Hamm (Fargo), Steven Yeun (Beef) and Sam Claflin (Daisy Jones & The Six).
The Globes recognized all who played a Roy (even a dead one) on Succession, as well as those who ended up being villains to the family (Matthew Macfadyen, J. Smith-Cameron and Alexander Skarsgard). Nicholas Braun, however, got robbed. Justice for Cousin Greg!

And kudos to Jury Duty, the freshman documentary-style comedy series that earned a nomination in Best Comedy and a Supporting Actor nomination for star James Marsden. It will compete for the top comedy prize alongside the usual suspects — Abbott Elementary, Barry, The Bear, Only Murders in the Building and Ted Lasso.

And look at Showtime still striving to be relevant! Emma Stone earned a nomination for starring in channel’s new drama The Curse, while Christina Ricci will represent for the entire cast of Yellowjackets; she was the only one who got nominated from the creepy series that just wrapped its second season. Fellow Travelers earned some attaboys too, including nominations for Bomer and one in the Limited Series category.
Digging that Juno Temple got a nomination — not for her memorable work on Ted Lasso, but for playing Dot Lyon on Fargo. And it cannot be stated enough: everyone on The Bear deserves their moment at the podium, but none more so than Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the annoying but fiercely loyal Richie. He and several of his co-stars were nominated today.

Limited Series remains an exciting category of contenders, with Daisy Jones & The Six competing against Fellow Travelers, Beef, Fargo, All the Light We Cannot See and Apple’s superb Lessons in Chemistry. The latter of which earned Brie Larson a well-deserved nomination for playing Elizabeth Zott.
And it may be a controversial season of The Crown on Netflix, but the stars weren’t ignored. Elizabeth Debicki got the Supporting Actress nomination she deserved for playing Princess Diana, while Dominic West (Prince Charles) will compete in the Actor category and Imelda Staunton (as Queen Elizabeth) in Actress.
And total non-spoiler alert: only one broadcast network show made it into the top category — Abbott Elementary. The drama category should be more exciting competition as it includes newbies The Diplomat, 1923 and The Last of Us, as well as The Morning Show and Succession, but it’s unlikely the Globes will ignore the last season of HBO’s family drama.
If only we knew whether Shiv and Kendall will spend Christmas together.
