It’s that time of year again!

Award season 2016 will officially be on its way into full swing when the 73rd Annual Golden Globes Awards air, live, on Sunday, January 10. But before the red carpet opens and the Moet gets to flowing (and host Ricky Gervais says something completely, hilariously or inappropriate!), let’s talk a scroll through the nominees who already have our votes!

Viola Davis

After winning an Emmy (and delivering that speech!) for her role as the ever-complex Annalise Keating on How to Get Away with Murder, we can only hope that Viola Davis wins the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series Drama, too!

(note: Taraji is in the same category and oh, how we wish that they could both win!)

Taraji P. Henson

The cast of Empire will compete in the Best Television Series, Drama, category while scene-stealer, Taraji P. Henson, has her sights set on the coveted award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series, Drama, for her spot-on portrayal of Cookie Lyon.

(note: Viola is in the same category and we’ve got our fingers crossed for her, too)

Uzo Aduba

Along with the colorful cast of Orange is the New Black earning a nod for Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy, Uzo Aduba has nabbed her second nod for Best Performance by an Actress in a Series, Limited Series of Motion Picture Made for Television. We sure hope this year is her year!

(note: Uzo is up for the same statue as Regina King and we’ve got our fingers crossed for them both!)

After earning rave reviews (and his first Golden Globe nomination) for his lead role in Selma, David Oyelowo followed up with Nightingale and delivered a performance that was northing short of transformative.

The Golden Globes air this Sunday, Jan 10 at 8pm ET on NBC.
