New contenders will face award-winning heavyweights in the television races at the Golden Globes in a nominations list that dropped old favourites like Veep and House Of Cards. Amazon Studios’ ground-breaking transgender comedy Transparent and its Golden Globe-winning star Jeffrey Tambor were notably absent from the list, as well as Netflix political drama House Of Cards and its Globe-winning star Kevin Spacey.
The omissions follow sexual misconduct allegations against Tambor and Spacey, who was dropped from the upcoming sixth season of House Of Cards. Tambor has denied allegations by two actresses and Spacey has issued an apology to one of his multiple accusers. Reuters was unable to independently confirm the accusations.
