Worst: Spoiler Alert!
In addition to its actual awards, Homeland also won the dubious distinction of breaking the spoiler barrier when executive Alex Gansa gave away a big Season 2 plot point (which recently wrapped its Showtime run, but has yet to find its way to DVD, meaning that a ton of people haven’t seen it yet) while accepting the Best Drama series statue. Then again, considering how loose the show’s fictionalized version of the CIA is with secrets, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the creators don’t know when to shut up.

Best: Sarah Hyland
This gothic look with the dark makeup and black dress makes her look a little like Carmen Electra, but the cinched in bodice and the interesting pleats make it work.

No Golden Globe wins for Modern Family.

Kevin Costner (Hatfields & McCoys)
Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock)
Woody Harrelson (Game Change)
Tobey Jones (The Girl)
Clive Owen (Hemmingway & Gellhorn)
Deserves to Win: Benedict Cumberbatch

Will Win: Woody Harrelson

Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television
Max Greenfield (New Girl)
Ed Harris (Game Change)
Danny Huston (Magic City)
Mandy Patinkin (Homeland)
Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family)
Deserves to Win: Max Greenfield
We’ve talked at length about the idiocy of the Golden Globe supporting actor categories pitting fabulous comedians against serious dramatic arcs against stand-alone movie performances, but that being said, if these are our choices, we’d pick Schmidt. Greenfield brings his douchey character to life with such glee that we actually feel for him, when we’re not too busy laughing at the ridiculous stuff that comes out of his mouth.
