Golden Globe Nominations....WTF

I'm usually a really big fan of the Golden Globes because they have categories for Comedy/Musical movies and they combine TV and movies into one wonderful night of fun! The nominations for the 2010 season were announced this morning and I have to say, I am very disappointed. I'll hold off on whining about the movie portion (I have many complaints. Alice in Wonderland? Really?) and focus on the good and the bad of the TV noms.

Best Drama: I don't have many complaints here. I love Mad Men and have watched a little bit of Dexter and really enjoyed it. Also, I've heard amazing things about Boardwalk Empire and would watch it if I had HBO. I plan on catching it when it comes out on Blu-Ray. One surprise though is The Walking Dead. There were only 6 episodes of the show this season and while I've heard good things, I don't think it's in the same league as the other nominations and it was only a half season. Come on HFPA.

Best Comedy: I'm pretty satisfied with this list (Modern Family will win) except for the Community snub. The first season of Community was snubbed at the Emmys this year and now the second season is not starting off the awards season well. I really don't understand why this show doesn't get the recognition it deserves. It is far and away the best of the NBC Thursday night comedies. It is smart and fresh and speaks to my generation in a fun, lighthearted way. I'm still rooting for you, Community, you'll kick butt at the Emmys! On another note, I'm kind of glad The Office was not nominated. I love The Office but this season has not be award worthy and I'm glad it didn't get a nomination just because it's popular (Glee).

Best Actress in a Drama: I'm so happy for Elizabeth Moss (Peggy of Mad Men)! She deserves every bit of acclaim for her wonderful work in season 4. I'm also happy she's in the lead actress category. You go girl!

Best Actor in a Comedy: Mathew Morrison (Mr. Schu Glee). Ugh. He hasn't even been a big part of this season! I feel like Chris Colfer was more the lead actor in Glee this season. Whatever. I think others are more deserving of this nomination.

Supporting actor/actress: Yay for Sofia Vergara and Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family) for getting noms! I wish every actor on MF show had been nominated because they all deserve it but I'm happy for the ones who were nominated and will be pulling for them to beat the Glee kids!

On a side note. I spent all day in my PJ's watching movies and Law and Order: SVU. I love Christmas Break!
