Will Big Little Lies’ Season 2 renewal affect how many Golden Globes it wins as a limited series?

The Hollywood Reporter

The HBO series was No. 1 among TV shows with six Golden Globe nominations this morning. But, as Daniel Fienberg notes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association “had no way of knowing that HBO would order a second season of Big Little Lies last week after nomination ballots were in, rendering it a completely fraudulent participant in the various TV movies/limited categories. It's tempting to wonder if both Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman would have made the lead actress in a drama field and to assume that their places in the movie/limited actress category might have been filled by somebody like Sarah Gadon for Alias Grace or Carrie Coon for Fargo (or more likely Elisabeth Moss for the second season of Top of the Lake). It's also tempting to wonder if HFPA voters will now lean toward a Jessica Lange from Feud, rather than just rubber-stamping Kidman in a category they now know she doesn't belong in.”
