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.
