Golden Globe TV Preview

Here is my list of first predictions for the Golden Globe Television section. I will update these before the nominees are announced, as well as preview the film awards. Remember, the Globes are not so based on episodes. The Globes are star whores, they love big names, and they love new TV shows. They like to jump the gun before the Emmys, which are usually slow to recognize new programs.
