2021 GOLDEN GLOBE PREDICTIONS:
BEST TV SUPPORTING ACTRESS
UPDATED: Jan. 14, 2021
AWARDS COMMENTARY:
Gillian Anderson turned heads as Margaret Thatcher in “The Crown,” and she’s now among the frontrunners to be nominated for the TV supporting actress Golden Globe. But she’s not the only contender playing a real-life figure to be in the mix, as Uzo Adubo’s take on Shirley Chisholm for FX on Hulu’s “Mrs. America” also places that actress — an awards favorite — at the top of the list. Anderson and Helena Bonham Carter might split “The Crown” vote however, opening the door for others such as “Schitt’s Creek’s” Annie Murphy.
