Hollywood is gearing up for the 2015 Golden Globe Awards, but we have your guide to the TV nominations as well as our predictions for who will be rewarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Best TV Series, Drama

The Affair

Downton Abbey

Game of Thrones

The Good Wife

House of Cards

Should Win: Game of Thrones

Will Win: The Affair

Analysis: The best drama out of the bunch is Game of Thrones by far, but the Hollywood Foreign Press likes to reward new shows so I'm going with Showtime's The Affair. I'll be very happy if I'm wrong.

Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama

Claire Danes, "Homeland"

Viola Davis, "How to Get Away With Murder"

Julianna Margulies, "The Good Wife"

Ruth Wilson, "The Affair"

Robin Wright, "House of Cards"

Should Win: Claire Danes, "Homeland"

Will Win: Viola Davis, "How to Get Away With Murder

Analysis: Claire Danes gave an extraordinary performance this year, but the HFPA failed to award Viola Davis when she was nominated for The Help so look for them to make it up to her this year.

Best Actor in a TV series, Drama

Clive Owen, "The Knick"

Liev Schreiber, "Ray Donovan"

Kevin Spacey, "House of Cards"

James Spader, "The Blacklist"

Dominic West, "The Affair"

Should Win: Kevin Spacey, "House of Cards"

Will Win: Kevin Spacey, "House of Cards"

Analysis: It's hard to believe that 2-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey has never won a Golden Globe. Well, that will change tonight when he will win his first for his stellar turn as a ruthless politician in the Netflix series.

Best TV Series, Comedy

Girls

Jane the Virgin

Orange Is the New Black

Silicon Valley

Transparent

Should Win: Orange Is the New Black

Will Win: Orange Is the New Black

Analysis: Orange Is the New Black had an amazing second season and has become a pop culture phenomenon. However, don't count out Amazon's Transparent which premiered to rave reviews for the first season.

Best Actress in TV Series, Comedy

Lena Dunham, "Girls"

Edie Falco, "Nurse Jackie"

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, "Veep"

Gina Rodriguez, "Jane the Virgin"

Taylor Schilling, "Orange is the New Black"

Should Win: Taylor Schilling, "Orange is the New Black"

Will Win: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, "Veep"

Analysis: Emmy winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus looks good to pick up another Golden Globe, but watch out for Taylor Schilling or newbie Gina Rodriguez since the HFPA likes to recognize young actresses in new series.

Best Actor in a TV Series, Comedy

Louis C.K., "Louie"

Don Cheadle, "House of Lies"

Ricky Gervais, "Derek"

William H. Macy, "Shameless"

Jeffrey Tambor, "Transparent"

Should Win: Jeffrey Tambor, "Transparent"

Will Win: Jeffrey Tambor, "Transparent"

Analysis: This category is pretty easy to call. Jeffrey Tambor gave a gender-bending excellent performance in Transparent and will be rewarded for it with a Golden Globe. After years in the business, it is his time to shine.

Best TV Movie or Mini-Series

Olive Kitteridge

Fargo

The Missing

True Detective

The Normal Heart

Should Win: Fargo

Will Win: Fargo

Analysis: Fargo is one of the best series I have ever seen and will be rewarded by the Golden Globes as such. None of the other nominees hold a candle to FX's retelling of the Oscar-winning Coen Brothers film. It won the Emmy for Best Mini-series and will have a Golden Globe to go with it.

Best Supporting Actor in TV Miniseries or TV Movie

Matt Bomer, The Normal Heart

Alan Cumming, The Good Wife

Colin Hanks, Fargo

Bill Murray, Olive Kitteridge

Jon Voight, Ray Donovan

Should Win: Colin Hanks, Fargo

Will Win: Matt Bomer, The Normal Heart or Bill Murray, Olive Kitteridge

Analysis: Colin Hanks deserves it for his performance in Fargo, but look for Matt Bomer or Bill Murray to win. A Bomer win may be a way to honor The Normal Heart, while a Murray win would get a legend his due in a critically acclaimed mini-series.

Best Supporting Actress in TV Miniseries or Movie

Uzo Aduba, "Orange is the New Black"

Kathy Bates, "American Horror Story"

Joanne Froggatt, "Downton Abbey"

Allison Janney, "Mom"

Michelle Monaghan, "True Detective"

Should Win: Uzo Aduba, "Orange is the New Black"

Will Win: Uzo Aduba, "Orange is the New Black"

Analysis: I prefer Laverne Cox or Natasha Lyonne from Orange is the New Black, but Uzo Aduba is an undeniable scene stealer as "Crazy Eyes" in the Netflix hit comedy series.

Best Actor in a TV Miniseries or Movie

Martin Freeman, Fargo

Woody Harrelson, True Detective

Matthew Mcconaughey, True Detective

Mark Ruffalo, The Normal Heart

Billy Bob Thornton, Fargo

Should Win: Martin Freeman, Fargo

Will Win: Matthew Mcconaughey, True Detective

Analysis: Martin Freeman gave the best performance of the year and should be rewarded for it, but the HFPA loves a movie star and thus, will give it to Matthew Mcconaughey for his great job as a rogue cop in True Detective.

Best Actress in a TV Miniseries or Movie

Maggie Gyllenhaal, The Honorable Woman

Jessica Lange, American Horror Story

Frances McDormand, Olive Kitteridge

Frances O'Connor, The Missing

Allison Tolman, Fargo

Should Win: Allison Tolman, Fargo

Will Win: Allison Tolman, Fargo

Analysis: Many will say it will be Oscar-winner Frances McDormand for her critically acclaimed turn in Olive Kitteridge, but I'm going out on a limb and predicting Allison Tolman for her revelatory performance as a character similar to Frances McDormand's Oscar-winning role in the movie version of Fargo.

Who do you think will take home the Golden Globe Awards on the TV side?
