Golden Globe TV Nominations: A "Hiro" Is Honored


Obviously most of the Golden Globe attention goes to the movie nominees, but since I’m a TV blogger, my focus is on the TV awards.

And even though I’m a little bummed that neither Gregory Itzin nor Jean Smart received any Globe love, I couldn’t be happier for Masi Oka, the loveable Hiro of “Heroes,” who did receive a nod.

Here’s the list:

Drama Series:
“24”
“Big Love”
“Grey’s Anatomy”
“Heroes”
“Lost”

Actress-Drama:
Patricia Arquette, “Medium”
Edie Falco, “The Sopranos”
Evangeline Lilly, “Lost”
Ellen Pompeo, “Grey’s Anatomy”
Kyra Sedgwick, “The Closer”

Actor-Drama:
Patrick Dempsey, “Grey’s Anatomy”
Michael C. Hall, “Dexter”
Hugh Laurie, “House”
Bill Paxton, “Big Love”
Kiefer Sutherland, “24”—WOO HOO!



Comedy Series:
“Desperate Housewives”
“Entourage”
“The Office”
“Ugly Betty”
“Weeds”

Actress-Comedy:
Marcia Cross, “Desperate Housewives”
America Ferrera, “Ugly Betty”
Felicity Huffman, “DH”
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “The New Adventures of Old Christine”
Mary-Louise Parker, “Weeds”

Actor-Comedy
Alec Baldwin, “30 Rock”
Zach Braff, “Scrubs”
Steve Carell, “The Office”
Jason Lee, “My Name Is Earl”
Tony Shalhoub, “Monk”

I won’t list the mini-series and movie categories for you since most of them are from HBO projects that many of us have never seen. I will mention, however, that Matthew Perry received a nomination for “The Ron Clark Story.”

The cruelest Globe categories have to be Actor and Actress in a Supporting Role in a Television Series, Movie or Mini-Series because they lump everyone together—comedy, drama, whatever:

Actress in a Supporting Role:
Emily Blunt, “Gideon’s Daughter”
Toni Collette, “Tsunami, the Aftermath”
Katherine Heigl, “Grey’s Anatomy”
Sarah Paulson, “Studio 60”
Elizabeth Perkins, “Weeds”

Actor in a Supporting Role:
Thomas Haden Church, “Broken Trail”
Jeremy Irons, “Elizabeth I”
Justin Kirk, “Weeds”
Masi Oka, “Heroes”
Jeremy Piven, “Entourage”

The Golden Globe Awards will air on NBC January 15th at 8 p.m., but I won’t be watching since that’s the second night of the “24” premiere. Thanks a lot, NBC…
