Lowdown:
"Damages" failed to get any Golden Globes love at all last year, so predicting a nomination here is risky. Also risky is guessing which "Mad Men" actress any group is going to choose to recognize in any given ceremony. Again, though, there's a lack of strong and obvious new nominees in this category, so it'll probably just be a shuffling of the deck amongst familiar nominees. It's notable that Katey Sagal earned four Golden Globe nominations back in the day for "Married with Children." Any chance the Globes remember how much they used to like her?
