Golden Globe Nominations (TV)
Best Television Series – Drama
MAD MEN
TRUE BLOOD
DEXTER
BIG LOVE
HOUSE
The TV Addict’s Take: Although we’ve been doing this long enough to realize that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) wasn’t about to take this one last opportunity to recognize four seasons of excellence on behalf of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA with a nomination, both FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS and LOST could have easily taken the place of HOUSE (Been there, done that, got the T-shirt) and/or TRUE BLOOD (Guilty pleasure yes, Best television drama, not so much)
Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama
Jon Hamm, MAD MEN
Hugh Laurie, HOUSE
Michael C. Hall, DEXTER
Simon Baker, THE MENTALIST
Bill Paxton, BIG LOVE
The TV Addict’s Take: Insert BREAKING BAD’s Bryan Cranston for THE MENTALIST’s Simon Baker and we’ll shut up.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama
Anna Paquin, TRUE BLOOD
Kyra Sedgwick, THE CLOSER
Julianna Marguilies, THE GOOD WIFE
Glenn Close, DAMAGES
January Jones, MAD MEN
The TV Addict’s Take: Based solely on her delivery of the line, “I’m Peggy Olson, and I want to smoke some Marijuana,” MAD MEN’s Elisabeth Moss was robbed.
Best Television Series – Comedy
30 ROCK
THE OFFICE
GLEE
MODERN FAMILY
ENTOURAGE
The TV Addict’s Take: A nomination for ENTOURAGE doesn’t do much to salvage what little credibility the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has left. Particularly when PARKS AND RECREATION, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, THE BIG BANG THEORY and WEEDS are left waiting in the wings.

2000 MALIBU ROAD
Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Beals and Lisa Hartman (pre-Black) were among the residents of a swank beach house who dealt with everything from prostitution to being hit with lightening.
TITANS
What do you get when you shoehorn Yasmine Bleeth, John Barrowman, Casper Van Dien, Perry King and Victoria Principal into a show about a family that divides their time between flying high as the heads of an aviation company and traversing the low road in their personal relationships? A very expensive, very unpopular NBC drama.
MODELS, INC.
Just as 90210 began MELROSE PLACE, that apartment-set drama begat this pre-BEAUTIFUL LIFE look at how the pretty people live (but not eat… never eat) starring Linda Gray, Robert Beltran, Garcelle Beauvais and a pre-Matrix Carrie-Anne Moss.

TV Talk From Fellow TV Addicts
Each week the TV Blog coalition — of which theTVaddict.com is proud to be apart of — highlights some of the best TV news and views from around the web. For the latest news that’s fit to print, simply click the link below.
Why We Digg Jimmy Fallon
At first glance, getting drunk on a couch with two guys named Alex and Kevin may not be the most traditional avenue in which to promote the impending launch of your late night talk show.
But Jimmy Fallon isn’t exactly your traditional late night talk show host.
Especially when one takes a closer look at the path he has chosen to promote the March 2nd launch of LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON.
For those two drunks who once a week carve out an hour of their busy schedule to sit on a couch, drink beer and shoot the, well you know… just so happen to be Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose, the hosts of the insanely popular online weekly video show Diggnation.
Diggnation chronicles the most buzzed about stories on the social news web site digg.com. And more importantly, with an average audience of 200,000 tech savvy 18-34 year olds, is comprised of a demographic that network executives and media buyers only dream about.
Now, here’s where Fallon proves that he’s a heck of a lot than the actor who once thought co-starring in a movie called FEVER PITCH with Drew Barrymore was a good idea.
66th Annual Golden Globe Awards Blog Live
11:45PM: Thanks to everyone who stopped by tonight’s Golden Globe Awards Live Blog. Before we call it a night, sleep on this. With SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE opening in India next week. What are the odds the entire county has already seen it thanks to the proliferation of pirated DVDs and BitTorrent?
11:02PM: NBC completely drops the ball as whomever accepted the award for SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE totally drops the F-Bomb!
11:00PM: And at the stroke of 11PM, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE wins a much deserved statuette for Best Motion Picture Drama.
10:57PM: Mickey Rourke wins for Best Actor in Motion Picture Drama and thanks his dogs saying, “Sometimes when a man’s alone, all you got is your dog” Never one to pass up an opportunity to shamelessly pimp my dog, here’s a peak at the TV Addict’s adorable Goldendoodle ‘Mac’.
10:49PM: Twitter friend @BradInToronto wonders, “if Elisabeth Moss is giving Jeremy Piven dirty looks from the stage.”
10:46PM: MAD MEN finally slays the HBO juggernaut winning the Globe for Best Television Drama. Matthew Weiner gives a fairly uninspiring speech. But on the plus side, his price tag just shot up in the season three negotiations between himself, Lionsgate and AMC.
10:40PM: Shocker! Kate Winslet wins a second Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for REVOLUTIONARY ROAD. Who’s the king of the world now?
10:30PM: We’re going to have to disagree with Salma Hayek and Sandra Bullock who most definitely do not think presentor Sasha Baron Cohen is funny. VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA wins the Golden Globe for Best Comedy in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical.
10:20PM: Colin Farrell wins a Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy statuette for IN BRUGES.
10:14PM: Danny Boyle wins a Best Director “GG” (as he very affectionally calls the Golden Globes) for SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.
10:01PM: Stephen Spielberg gets the Cecil B. DeMille Award and this TV Addict gets a blogging break. Phew.
SANTA CLARITA DIET: Escaping The Normality of a Suburban Life…With Zombies
Joel and Sheila are your average couple when we first meet them in the premiere of Netflix’s newest original series, SANTA CLARITA DIET. These two realtors live with their teenage daughter Abby in the suburbs of L.A. and there’s nothing remarkable about them at all. In fact, they’re a bit boring and disconnected from each other….and Joel is a little too obsessed with the loose knob on his toaster oven. But things change when Sheila vomits up….well, almost everything inside of her, including an organ.
Suddenly she’s craving more sex with her husband, going out with her girlfriends and has boundless energy. Joel, on the other hand, is concerned about the fact that his wife now has no pulse and is very, very different from the woman she used to be. Now she’s snacking on their realtor-nemesis in the backyard and he’s trying to figure out how to keep her fed while also keeping their marriage together (and her new zombie state a secret).
SANTA CLARITA DIET is a twist on both zombie shows and the suburban comedy. Drew Barrymore is lighthearted as an average woman who is adjusting to her newfound undead status. Timothy Olyphant, meanwhile, drops the more serious acting chops he honed in DEADWOOD or JUSTIFIED and plays against type. He’s mostly a mild-mannered dad, but you’ll chuckle as he starts going slightly crazy from the unpredictability of his situation.
There’s also heart at the center of SANTA CLARITA DIET. While the gore is plentiful, the show is really about a family trying to stay together in the face of unusual circumstances.
SANTA CLARITA DIET is available to stream worldwide on Netflix as of Friday, February 3.
