2008 Golden Globe Nominations
December 13th, 2007
With the Golden Globe Nominations just announced, the biggest question — aside from why on earth DEXTER, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER* and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA didn’t get recognized — is which actors, if any, are going to cross the picket line to attend the show.
As usual, the TV Addict’s personal favorites are in ORANGE. With the “if they WIN AGAIN” I’ll gouge my eyes out in RED and “who did they pay off in the Hollywood Foreign Press to get this nomination?” in GREEN.

No love for the end of the Sopranos or Lost? Glad to see the critics have dismissed Heroes. Where is the Office for Best Comedy? or for that matter How I Met Your Mother (funnier then the Office this season in my opinion).
I feel the Globes nominate new series just for the sake of them being new series. Pushing Daisies or Entourage for that matter this year did not deserve a nomination over The Office or HIMYM. Where is Josh Radnor? Certainly could have made it over Lee Pace. How about Jenna Fischer? Certainly deserves it over Anna Friel.
Too much love for shows because they are new
