Tomorrow morning, the nominees for the Golden Globe Awards will be announced. The TV portion isn’t nearly as exciting as the film stuff, especially because the Emmys are so far away while the Oscars are coming right up. There’s often a tendency for the Globes to try to mimic the most recent Emmy ceremony, so names like Archie Panjabi, Eric Stonestreet, and Aaron Paul could pop up here. The most important thing to remember about the Globes is that once they abandon shows, they forget about them completely, like “24,” “Lost,” and others (which is why I’m not predicting “In Treatment” for anything). The second important thing to remember (about awards in general) is that there are always exceptions, like Michael Emerson getting nominated last year. Also, sometimes the Globes take a while to catch onto big things, and the absence of nominees like Bryan Cranston or Jim Parsons may change (or may not) this year. Since there’s not much excitement likely to be had, I’m abstaining from no guts, no glory predictions. You can see my film predictions here and come back tomorrow for hourly category analysis (following the 8:40am or so announcement of nominees).

So, no chance for "Parks and Rec"? Come on, it has to get in over "Glee"...
You're probably right, though.
Given the fact that I've re-watched the first season and the first four episodes of the second season over the past few days with my roommate, I couldn't agree with you more. Let's hope!
It is just so good. I honestly couldn't believe it when you ranked the show ahead of "Modern Family" in your top new shows of last year. But you were right.
My favorite episodes, by the way, were "The Practice Date", "Christmas Scandal" (hope there's more Dexhart stuff in season 3), "Summer Catalog" (for the pot-smoking director alone), and "Freddy Spaghetti". But they were all really good.
Except for "Sister City", which was just kind of absurd and irritating (though funny in places). If you read Alan Sepinwall, he had a preview of the first six episodes of season 3 up a few weeks back in which he said they were as strong as any that the show has ever done. If that's the case, January 20 can't come soon enough.
