While there are many fantastic leading television actors, many popular series may not have been successful if it wasn't for stellar supporting actors. Five outstanding supporting actors are nominated for a 2014 Golden Globe Award for their scene-stealing performances.

The nominees for Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries of TV Movie are:

Josh Charles/Will Gardner, "The Good Wife,"- Charles is electrifying as Will, and takes viewers through a range of emotions every week. Charles' Gardner is intense and calculating in a seemingly ruthless manner. Yet, he is able to make viewers understand his feelings of betrayal that are fueling his vengeance. Charles portrays a range of emotional depth that often steals scenes away from the series' main characters.

Rob Lowe/Dr. Jack Startz, "Behind the Candelabra"- Lowe went through both a physical and emotional transformation to play Liberace's beauty-obsessed plastic surgeon. Lowe had to have his eyebrows pulled back and elaborate make-up caked on that took hours to complete, but the outlandish make-up did not detract from his performance. Lowe commanded every scene he was in as the pill-popping, bizarre surgeon who Liberace enlists to transform Scott's (Matt Damon) face into a younger version of himself.

Aaron Paul/Jesse Pinkman, "Breaking Bad"- Paul plays Jesse Pinkman, a meth cook and former student of Walter White's (Bryan Cranston) who teams up with Mr. White to cook a nearly perfect blue meth. Paul's Jesse seems like an apathetic thug at first meeting, but his caring nature quickly belies his tough exterior. Paul is excellent at showing Pinkman's sincere humanity and emotionality, and acts as a direct contrast to the hardness of Walter White.

Corey Stoll/Peter Russo, "House of Cards"- Stoll's Russo is a drug and alcohol addicted congressman who enters into an unlikely alliance with Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey). The relationship is somewhat similar to the Jesse/White relationship in "Breaking Bad"; Russo is the unstable opposite of the the calm and calculating Underwood. But Stoll is able to bring forth Russo's humanity, giving a complex and deeply sad element to his character.

Jon Voight/Mickey Donovan, "Ray Donovan"- Voight's Mickey is racist, misogynistic and homophobic, and embraces decadence in all forms. His character provides a contrast to his son, Ray, who is controlled and stoic. After being in jail for 20 years, his own son takes a hit out on him, but isn't successful. Voight is able to bring hilarity to the ruthless character, and sometimes renders him in an almost sympathetically vulnerable light.

Prediction: Jon Voight, "Ray Donovan"

Veteran actor Jon Voight will most likely take the trophy for his portrayal of Mickey Donovan. Although he is a ruthless Boston gangster who seemingly lacks compassion, his humor and energy drives the series forward. His ability to portray Mickey's hedonism while showing tinges of regret brings complexity to his outrageous character. Voight's character is a big part of what keeps audiences coming back for more.
