Cable was again king as the industry’s original comedy, drama and movie content drew the lion’s share of Golden Globe nominations last week. Premium networks HBO, Starz and Showtime drew a bundle of nominations in major categories, while streaming service Netflix continued to gain recognition for its hits House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black. Starz’s Dancing on the Edge drew two surprise nominations, including one for best miniseries or motion picture made for TV. Conspicuously absent from the 71st annual Golden Globes list were such previously nominated shows as Showtime’s Homeland and AMC’s Mad Men.
