A vast majority of the Golden Globe awards for TV shows has gone to new series that were just launched in 2011. Modern Family which won the award for best TV comedy series, is the only long-running show (it is in its third season) that has picked up a major gong. Homeland which has been on TV only for three months won for best drama series and best drama actress. Episodes (best comedy actor), Enlightened (best comedy actress), Boss (best drama actor), American Horror Story (best supporting actress) and Game of Thrones (best supporting actor) were all launched in 2011. Apart from Modern Family, there were no shows from the four major free-to-air US networks in the winning list – with little-seen shows on cable channels picking up almost every award. Some of these shows had a viewership of less than 1 million, showing a wide gap between popularity and critical choice.
