Best Television Series, Drama
Dexter, Showtime
House , Fox
In Treatment, HBO
Mad Men, AMC
True Blood, HBO
Huh? Alan Ball’s blood-thinner rookie vampire series True Blood gets a nod over the final, terrific season of The Wire? True Blood will be dribbling on for years, I’m sure — couldn’t the Globes have given The Wire some credit for both this season and its enduring legacy?
Best Television Series, Comedy
30 Rock , NBC
Californication, Showtime
Entourage, HBO
The Office , NBC
Weeds, Showtime
Both Weeds and Entourage have had uneven seasons at best; me, I’d havegone with Samantha Who? (hey, funnier than you think) or even better — dosome channel-surfing, Globe-trotters! — Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy
Christina Applegate, Samantha Who?
America Ferrera, Ugly Betty
Tina Fey, 30 Rock
Debra Messing, The Starter Wife
Mary Louise-Parker, Weeds
Sorry: any round-up of TV-comedy actresses that doesn’t include Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ (pictured) continuing slapstick brilliance in The New Adventures of Old Christine is shameful. I mean, I like Debra Messing — but in The Starter Wife? This was like a we-loved-her-in-Will-&-Grace gimme-nomination.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
Steve Carell, The Office
Kevin Connolly, Entourage
David Duchovny, Californication
Tony Shalhoub, Monk
The Globes are known for being more adventurous and more willing to acknowledge newcomers quicker than the Emmys, so wouldn’t it have been better if, instead of giving Tony Shaloub his umpteenth Monk nomination, they nominated Jim Parons, the brilliant dweeb in Big Bang Theory?
Your turn, PopWatchers: Tell us who else got snubbed in this morning’s Golden Globes small-screen nominations? Then head over to our Oscar Watch blog for Dave Karger’s reaction to the movie category nominees.
And of course Supernatural gets snubbed again. Have they seen Jensen Ackles act? Obviously not, the above performances have nothing on him.
Dude, dont worry. The Wire might get something next year around emmy time right? Bueller? Maybe I dont know what i’m talking about. I also agree about Shaloub. Geez. How many nom’s can this dude get? I dont know one person that watches that show. Not that that’s the main reason for someone getting a nomination. But seriously. Parson’s on Big Bang and the show in general needs some bloody recognition in this peace.
Huh, they shouldn’t nominate True Blood because it will be around for years! Are you an idiot? (Rhetorical) Using that logic , they should have handed the Presidency to Mc Cain because Obama will be around for a while.
And the winner is….Alec Baldwin:)
USA has some darn good shows. Burn Notice, Psych? Both are hilarious, Dule Hill and Bruce Campbell?
no “LOST” love??????? and am very happy w/ January Jones & Jon Hamm’s noms, but no supporting nods for Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, or even Christina Hendricks??? lawd
Yes – Jim Parsons!
Lost. Where the heck is Lost?!? It had its best season since Season 1, and no love? I enjoyed True Blood, but it is NO Lost. And what about Henry Ian Cusick and Michael Emerson? This is f-ed up.
The Globes are insignificant. First of all Desperate Housewives is experiencing the best season since the first and should have received a nod. Also Marcia Cross deserved a nod for her wonderful portrayl of the transformation Bree undergoes from home maker into the next Martha Stewart. Also Brothers and Sisters deservered best TV drama. But hey let’s give it to 30 Rock. If that show was so good more people would probably watch it. Tina and Alec are annoying and are the reason I would rather pluck out my eyes then watch that.
Where’s the nomination for HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. That show is sooo underrated. If it didn’t have a laugh track it would be considered as smart and cutting edge as THE OFFICE and 30 ROCK (which I also love!).

As long as “Grey’s Anatomy” is in no way represented, I’m happy. It used to be awesome. Now it sucks booty. Maybe the lack of Golden Globe love will slap Shonda Rhimes to her senses.
What about John Krasnski and Angela Kinsey for THE OFFICE and Vanessa Williams for UGLY BETTY??

Oh, no! I don’t see anything for Jane Krakowski or Tracey Morgan for 30 ROCK? Why do they get no attention?
