For the first time since 1976, the Golden Globe Awards did not nominate any past nominees for Best Drama Series. The nominees are four new dramas and one returning drama that the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. had not previously acknowledged in the top category (“The Americans”).
Incumbent nominees “The Crown,” “Game of Thrones” and “Stranger Things” were ineligible because they did not air in 2018; fellow incumbent “The Handmaid’s Tale” was relegated to nominations for its actresses and the other incumbent “This is Us” was shut out for the first time.
Eligible past winners “The Affair,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Mr. Robot” were also snubbed as were eligible past nominees “Empire” and “House of Cards.” “Outlander” and “Westworld” were the only past Best Drama Series nominees other than “The Handmaid’s Tale” to factor into the nominations; they also received recognition only for their actresses.

Actress Patty Duke has died, aged 69.
The star passed away on Tuesday morning (March 29), according to a statement from her representative.
"Her cause of death was sepsis from a ruptured intestine," the announcement reads. "She was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a friend, a mental health advocate and a cultural icon. She will be missed."
Born Anna Marie Duke in December, 1946 in New York, she began acting in TV commercials, but her career took off after she was cast as blind and deaf Helen Keller in the Broadway version of The Miracle Worker in the late 1950s.
Patty took the role to the big screen in 1962, and won a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her portrayal.
At 16, she became the youngest person ever to win an Oscar.
Duke also starred in her own sitcom, The Patty Duke Show, in the early-to-mid 1960s and then made history in 1965 as the star of Billie,...
