In the TV nominations, it looks like Schitt’s Creek could sweep the Golden Globe Awards just like it did at the Emmys. Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Dan Levy, and Annie Murphy all got nominated for awards this year. In the Best Supporting Actor and Actress categories, which are divided by genres, Dan Levy and Murphy are the only ones in the category hailing from a comedy. Many believe that the comedy on its own will end up sweeping again, even though it’s up against some stiff competition. It will compete against Ted Lasso, Emily in Paris, The Flight Attendant, and The Great.
