No Mad Men? No Game of Thrones? Do you even recognize the Golden Globes Best TV Drama series category anymore?

It’s a strange category to handicap this year. Sunday’s ceremony will most likely see a face-off between Showtime’s Homeland and PBS’s Downton Abbey, both of which won in 2012.

How is that possible? Because Downton Abbey competed in the Mini-Series/TV Movie category last year. Jumping categories is a dangerous move, but if there’s one group of viewers as ardent as Homeland fans, it’s Downton Abbey fans.

What does that mean for the other contenders — AMC’s Breaking Bad and HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and The Newsroom? Find out by clicking through the gallery at the top of this article.

HBO has given its vampire hit, True Blood, and its freshman drama series, The Newsroom, another year.

True Blood has always held its own among the network’s subscribers for ratings, though the Season 5 premiere drew 5.2 million viewers – a drop of about one million viewers over last season’s debut. Otherwise, its latest episode held on to 4.66 million viewers.

Changes for True Blood in Season 6?

The series’ sixth season renewal means that fans will get to see what happens after creator Alan Ball passes the day-to-day showrunning to one of the show’s co-executive producers, Mark Hudis. Ball will be working on developing other projects.

Aaron Sorkin’s The Newsroom premiered to a very respectable 2.1 million viewers on June 24 – the cable network’s third highest-watched drama series debut since 2008 after Boardwalk Empire’s 4.8 million and Game of Thrones’ 2.2 million. It portrays the behind-the-scenes on a cable news show and stars Jeff Daniels. The renewal comes after just two episodes of the series have aired.

True Blood airs Sundays at 9 PM on HBO followed by The Newsroom at 10 PM.
