TV challengers in the Golden Globes

'Boss''Homeland''New Girl'Newcomers once more demonstrated irresistibly golden to Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.Seven of the year's 10 nominated TV series -- four within the drama area and three in comedy -- are freshmen, using the area composed of both high-profile records like Showtime's significantly admired conspiracy thriller "Homeland" and relatively under-the-radar ones for example HBO's dark laffer "Enlightened."The expansion is consistent with a brief history from the org, which is honored on being the first one to shine a spotlight on new series, particularly edgier and more personal fare that may have a difficult time getting observed through the classical Emmys. Past broadcast-internet shows like ABC's "My So-Known as Existence" and current cable records like HBO's vampy "True Bloodstream" have felt the honours love first -- and, in some instances, exclusively -- in the HFPA.Among individuals making an inaugural appearance around the comedy ballot is Fox's "New Girl," the buzzy breakout hit starring Zooey Deschanel. Rivaling "Enlightened," the field's greatest surprise was Showtime's show-within-a-show laffer "Episodes," which in fact had a short seven-episode run last winter.As the noms have the possibility to provide the viewer-challenged Laura Dern and Matt LeBlanc automobiles much-needed profile boosts, that's of little comfort to NBC's "30 Rock," CBS' "The Large Bang Theory" or Showtime's "Nurse Jackie" -- previous nominees which were overlooked this time around around.Faring better was "Glee," the significant Fox hit which has won this category 2 yrs consecutively, and "Modern Family," ABC's two-time Emmy champion and also the Globe's most-honored comedy this time around out.The broadcast nets handled to create a decent showing in comedy however they were ignore entirely within the drama category, that was not so good news for CBS' "The Great Wife," a nominee this past year."It's tougher for network dramas to interrupt through simply because they can't pull off things that cable can," states Dalton Ross, assistant controlling editor of Entertainment Weekly. "Exactly what do all the (nominated) cable shows share? They get pretty damn gritty. There's lots of cursing, nudity and violence."That's certainly the situation with HBO's Prohibition drama "Boardwalk Empire," which showed the type of endurance Nucky Thompson would appreciate, coming back up-five drama fold for again following a win this past year."Homeland," another unflinching pay-cable entry, might have been shut from the SAG nominations however it has got the distinction to be the Globes' drama-pack leader with three nods. Forex scared up a jerk for Ryan Murphy's haunted-house spectacle "American Horror Story," that will compete against another genre show, HBO's George R.R. Martin fantasy "Bet on Thrones."Starz, meanwhile, has obtained a victory of sorts by logging its first-ever series nom for "Boss," the Kelsey Grammer-starring tale of political corruption that gained another-season pick-up before its premiere.In comparison, AMC, a pressure within the drama race recently, unsuccessful to create any kind of showing, because of the extended hiatus of previous champion "Mad Males" and also the somewhat puzzling omission of "Breaking Bad."" 'Breaking Bad' was known as getting its best season yet," states TV Guide senior critic Matt Roush. "That needs to be looked at the year's most egregious snub."GOLDEN GLOBES COUNTDOWN Year of couples therapyThe ContendersDrama: Best Picture Comedy: Best Picture Best Director Drama Actor/Actress Comedy Actor/Actress Contact the range newsroom at news@variety.com
