Our Golden Globes TV Buzzmeter: 'Ugly Betty' lookin' good

December 26, 2006 |  3:27 am

Seems like our Envelope TV pundits have the Golden Globes' voting patterns figured out. They're forecasting that trendy new tube fare will prevail on Jan. 15: "Ugly Betty" for best comedy series and actress (America Ferrera), "30 Rock" for best comedy actor (Alec Baldwin), "Dexter" for best drama actor (Michael C. Hall). Last year we saw voter preference for hot new rookies like Geena Davis ("Commander in Chief") and Mary-Louise Parker ("Weeds").

Our pundits  also believe that some stalwarts might come through, like recent, belated Emmy champ "24" repeating as best drama series after claiming the equivalent Globe in 2001. Its star Kiefer Sutherland won best drama TV actor three years ago. Even though the Globes have the reputation for only caring about nominees that members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association want to write about for readers of their hometown newspapers back in Budapest, Cairo and Rio, old-timers sometimes come through. Consider what happened at the 2000 Globes when "Frasier's" Kelsey Grammer pulled off a surprising win as best TV comedy actor seven years after it debuted.

To check out the Buzzmeter, CLICK HERE! Look for the drop-down menu in between the intro description ("What Is the Buzzmeter"?) and the horizontal bar noting "Up from Last Week," etc. If the awards noted in red say "Academy Awards" or "Grammys," click on it to produce the drop-down menu offering the choice of "Golden Globes TV." Once on that main page, which features summary views of our experts, click on the link for "Individual Panelists' Rankings" to see a chart breaking down the category-per-category choices of each expert. Also remember to click on "Meet the Panel" to see their bios and photos.
