Shocker verdict: ‘Jury Duty’ snares multiple Golden Globe nominations

nypost.com:

announced Monday morning by Cedric the Entertainer and Wilmer Valderrama, held few surprises, with all the expected series and stars (that’s you, “Succession”) receiving nods in several different categories.

Snubs, meanwhile, were kept to a minimum for an awards show that hit historic viewership lows last year — and can’t seem to find anyone willing to host this year’s telecast, produced by Dick Clark Productions, which bought the Golden Globes from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.This year’s nominees were chosen by a racially and ethnically diverse group of voters from around the world.It’s been a tough year for the TV industry with the writers’ WGA) and actors’ (SAG-AFTRA) strikes impeding most of the fall schedule from launching new shows, and with most returning favorites in reruns, but that seems to have been taken into account — or maybe boosted the profile of series like “Jury Duty,” which premiered in April just before the WGA strike.ABC is the only broadcast network to be nominated this year (for “Abbott Elementary”); you can either blame that on the dual strikes — and voters with short attention spans — but it’s more likely the reality that the Big Four networks (ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC) are on a downward spiral into near-oblivion when pertaining to viewership — which, in turn, impacts their chances come award season.
