With the fall season coming ...
Question: With the fall season coming to a close and the Golden Globes just around the corner, I figured I'd ask what the chances are that
Studio 60 will get some nominations? Even if ratings aren't great, the critics still seem to enjoy it, and I think
Matthew Perry,
Bradley Whitford,
Sarah Paulson and
Amanda Peet all deserve consideration. Do you think the show will earn any nods?
Answer: Truly, there's no figuring out the Golden Globes process, but in
Studio 60's favor is its pedigree, due to both Aaron Sorkin and the cast. A year ago,
Commander in Chief was a show already in worse disarray, and
Geena Davis got a key nomination and even won. So it's possible that Matthew Perry, and possibly others, could get nominated, and maybe the show itself. But I wouldn't be surprised or disappointed if it were passed over. This year, there are much better and more consistent dramas to honor, even the final season of
The West Wing, for that matter (which is beyond a long shot at this point).
