Golden Globes' biggest TV oddity: The Kominsky Method's nomination over Atlanta Robbin' Season

The Hollywood Reporter

The new batch of Golden Globe TV nominations were, says Daniel Fienberg, "the usual assortment of shiny new things, weirdly entrenched old things, baffling snubs and gratifying celebrations. We can begin with the absence of Atlanta in the comedy series category, where you can't say that voters don't know the FX series exists because Donald Glover was nominated for lead actor in a comedy series this year and because Atlanta won for comedy series at the Globes just two years ago. Instead, it turns out that Globes voters just really, really like The Kominsky Method and I'm not even opposed to the Chuck Lorre series, which fairly deftly blends broad comedy and sentimental aging hijinks and was reasonably worthy of the nominations received by both Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin. The problem is mostly that the second season of Atlanta was so good and not that the other comedy series nominees are so bad."
