We interrupt your end-of-year celebration of TV top 10 lists for analysis of an organization of voters who think that The Kominsky Method is a better comedy series than Atlanta. The affections of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association wax and wane with the moon, or at least with the aggressive promotional pushes of their network friends, and Thursday morning's nominations for the 76th Golden Globe Awards were, especially on the TV side, 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.
