CAUTION: Mild Spoilers Ahead

Brosnahan, 29, took home the Globe last yearandthe year before for her role as fast-talking, hilarious and charismatic Midge. This year, the show went even bigger, taking Midge’s act on the road and doubling down on the fantastic costumes, side-splitting stand-up sets and — dare we say — even a little drama!
If Brosnahan doesn’t win this time around, we nominate her for OMG, How Is She Talking That FastandWearing That Dress?

In conclusion, someone give Natasha Lyonne a Globe for the way that she says cockroach (cock-a-roach)andfor best hair.
Christina Applegateis nominated for her role as Jen inDead to Me.
Mars
Applegate, 48, plays Jen, a woman who recently lost her husband in a tragic hit-and-run car accident, looking for a way to grieveandfor her husband’s killer. It may not sound exactly like a comedy, but it has its moments, thanks in part to Applegate playing Jen in such an outrageously abrasive, insensitive manner. In a show where there’s much going on, Applegate steers the ship.
Should shenottake home the prize, we nominate Applegate for Best Snark Ever. Seriously, it’s enviable.
Phoebe Waller-Bridgeis nominated for her role as Fleabag inFleabag.

Waller-Bridge, 34, was only the second personeverto be nominated for outstanding comedy series and outstanding drama series at the Emmys for her creation ofFleabagandKilling Eve. She took home Emmys for outstanding writing for a comedy series and outstanding lead actress in a comedy series in 2019.Aside from these incredible honors, Waller-Bridge is also is up for her first Golden Globe — and we aren’t surprised. Waller-Bridge delivers her lines — both to her castmates and the camera — with a sharpness and authenticity that earned her a nom.
We take comfort in the fact that, if she doesn’t end up winning, she’ll end up with the Best Friend All of Us Want and Can’t Have award.
Kirsten Dunstis nominated for her role inOn Becoming a God in Central Florida.

Dunst, 37, stars as braces-wearing housewife Krystal Stubbs in the Showtime series. You know those friends you’ve got from high school who reach out to you on Facebook trying to reel you into some pyramid scheme? It’s like that, but even crazier. In this dark comedy, Dunst plays a water park employee who takes matters into her own hands when her family fails to get rich quick. This is Dunst’s third nomination — her very first was in 1995, when she was nominated at the age of 11 for her role as Claudia inInterview with a Vampire.
If she doesn’t win, she should get an award for making us sort of want to tease our hair and get braces (again)!
