I am coming out from under my rock just to say: Where the HELL is Martha Plimpton? I will see you all again in several months.

Was True Grit not eligible because I find it hard to believe it was shut out given the glowing reviews on it right now.

Pretty okay with this list. About time Katey Sagal was recognized but it was for the wrong season of SoA. Jennifer Lawrence was outstanding in Winters Bone. But where the hell is John Hawkes?!

Given the list (and I'll likely lean the same with the Oscars) I'd give best director to Christopher Nolan. Inception isn't the best movie of the year, but Nolan did an outstanding job making a complicated story easy to follow on screen. Especially as the ending is constantly fipping between 4 separate dream levels.

Second Nimue!
No Raising Hope!? WTF!?

ow yeah, I would like to add, one more entry gone from the bucket list:

Watched all of the Sons of Anarchy.
Fucking awesome.

I hope Katey wins, she deserves it. I was chewing my nails when she had that 'incident' with the white guys..
Horrible.

Of course "Community" didn't get nominated. It's hilarity actually pushes it beyond humor into another realm of existence. Once scientists figure it out, the Golden Globes will create a category for it.

And what's with all the "Big Bang Theory" love? I tried watching it once, blacked out in a furious rage, then woke up later with 3 kids, a job with a two hour commute, half of a meat lover's pizza lodged in my ass, and the ability to tell what's happening on a deserted island off the coast of Indonesia every time I sneeze. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Fuck Jim Parsons with a rod of plutonium, then let the radioactive mutant birthed from his left nostril beat him to death with the props from his own dispicable show.

On the brighter side, love to see "The Walking Dead" get recognized. They use their strength (zombies) sparingly, which surprisingly makes the show even stronger.

According to IMDB, The Tourist is an Action, Adventure, Thriller. What gives Hollywood Foreign Press?

As for Piper Perabo, I can live with that altho her role isn't really all that challenging in my opinion. But Lea Michele going up against Edie Falco, Tina Fey, Toni Collette AND Laura Linney. Puleeze.

Ten kinds of awesome (possibly even 13), right there.

That would be an awesome season ending!

But where the hell is True Grit? There are zero nominations here, and all I can figure is that the Hollywood Foreign Press simply hadn’t seen it yet.

Have YOU seen it? That movie isn't even out yet, is it?

Ok, I'll admit it, I am not the foremost expert on the Hollywood Foreign Press, but are animated films always excluded? You'd think maybe Toy Story 3 or How to Train Your Dragon (which was awesome and I liked a smidge better than TS3) would have received nominations. Especially over the lobstrosity Burlesque. And what about Kick-Ass? That's a live action comedy?

And don't even get me started on the snubbing of Hard to Watch.

Did anyone see that Michael C. Hall and his wife are getting a divorce?? They've been fighting on set and the crew is worried now. DOH!! Wonder what that means for Deb's character?!!?

I, for one, am so bummed about the exclusion of "Easy A" and Martha Plimpton that I might not even watch.

Just as an aside, I had a very detailed dream starring Katey Segal the other night wherein she led our forensics team on the run from a maniacal serial killer. It had flash forwards, dream sequences, old roadside diners, and the disemboweling of Tori Spelling. I'm pretty sure that my dreams are better than 90% of what is nominated above.

Jennier Love Hewitt, “The Client List”

You are, I can only assume, fucking shitting me.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY? I thought I'd used up all of my vitriol for that wretchedly vomitous bucket of fetid abortions. Clearly, I was wrong.

I am having a VERY hard time imagining that True Grit is not good enough to merit nominations while The TOURIST is.

In WHAT fucking universe is this a vague possibility???

These people have their collective head up their asses.

I thought for SURE Joseph Mazzello and Rami Malek would get nominated for The Pacific. This is pure bullshit. What the hell.

Yeah, if The Tourist is a comedy, the ads, they doin' it wrong.

Of course, if they wanted to make a full category of "Unintentional Comedies", I'm sure they could find more than five nominees.

Also, Dustin, I can't believe you didn't bitch more about Halle Berry for Frankie and Alice. Or was it not you who reviewed it? I can't remember now. Because, based on the Pajiba review, we are led to believe that her performance is a giant shit sandwich.

Seriously Kballs, I am an actual nerd, so I wanted to know why The Big Bang Theory was so popular, and I couldn't make it past 5 minutes. I need one of you to explain to me its popularity. It... boggles the mind.

And I thought Topher Grace was pretty good on That 70's Show too Robert, when he's not forcing it, he has good timing and is much less douchey.

Bogus as always... No love for Community, Terriers... the 2 best shows of the year.

I don't get why people are surprised about Burlesque getting a nomination? It only got it because it was the only musical this year and last year, Nine was also nominated despite also getting panned.

I can't believe Lea Michele got a nomination while Martha Plimpton didn't. It must be a sign of the approaching Apocalypse.

Can't we all just be happy that Justin Timberlake wasn't nominated for The Social Network?

Bananapanda, who's Charlie Hunton?

No Community or Terriers?! These nominations are... I don't... I can't even...

They shouldn't even bother doing comedy awards anymore.

That being said, the handful of retarded nominations can't make me look past how many I'm happy about. Jackie Weaver for Animal Kingdom is perhaps the most pleasant surprise. Well deserved.

Also, I'm used to the inexplicable Big Bang Theory love. But can someone explain The Good Wife to me? Is it like House, where it's fairly generic, but they bust out one Emmy bait episode a season and really deliver something solid? I never came close to getting into it, and everything I saw looked like a fairly standard legal procedural with a slightly different set up. Is there something actually good to be found there?

It just looks so out of place opposite Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, Mad Men and The Walking Dead (!!!) to me.

Does the Hollywood Foreign Press actually watch television? FREAKING GLEE? Lea Michelle? Matthew Morrisson????D?DFJDS?FJ:DSKFJK:DSJFJD:KSJF:KJDS

Meanwhile, Community, the BEST show on television gets 0 nominations. No. Screw you Golden Globes. Screw you.

Alice in Wonderland, Burlesque, and The Tourist. I mean...can you at least pretend like you tried to pick good movies. Please just...at least try and pretend.

I believe Bananapanda is referring to the seriously hot and talented Charlie Hunnam (Queer as Folk, Children of Men, Undeclared).
