Crazy Surprise That Could Happen: Tatiana Maslany, Orphan Black
Probably Will Happen: Kerry Washington, Scandal
As diehard Scandal fans who live and die by every single lip quiver of Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington), it physically pains us to write this, but Tatiana Maslany of Orphan Black gave the best TV performance of the year. Granted, it's an unfair fight because Maslany plays six different characters on her crazy clone show, but still, she nails every single role with a flawlessness that is surreal.
Maslany, who has never before been nominated for a Golden Globe or Emmy, actually has a pretty decent shot at winning because Orphan Black is a British import, and we are talking the Hollywood Foreign Press here, especially given that Scandal that is so heavily American. (The White House aside, let's not forget that time Huck used the phrase "YOLO" while pulling out Quinn's teeth.)
That said, the award will probably go to Kerry Washington because Globes voters do love seeing those big A-listers up at the podium, and also…She's Olivia Freaking Pope. We can't really imagine a world in which she doesn't win.
