Golden Globes Television Nominations-The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Golden Globes always have the quirkiest television nominees, they tend to go for new shows, and new actors which explains a lot of nominees, and snubs (you have to make room). 

The Good:

-The Good Wife received 3 nominations

-Tatiana Maslany for Orphan Black

-Monica Potter for Parenthood

-House of Cards gets 4 nominations including Corey Stoll

-Masters of Sex with Michael Sheen

-Brooklyn-99 and Parks and Recreation

-Aaron Paul and Breaking Bad getting its largest nomination tally ever

The Bad

-No Game of Thrones in Drama, it should have made it over Downton Abbey

-Only Taylor Schilling for Orange is the New Black?  This show should have submitted as a comedy it would have actually won Best Comedy series, to bad Netflix messed up.

Shunning Clarie Danes and Mandy Patinkin when they have helped carry the show's third season.

-Not even John Hamm, Mad Men has had a bad week!
-No Veep in Comedy series, but Modern Family is back again?

The Ugly

-The HFPA need split the supporting categories, its the biggest joke.

-The HFPA only nominated Vergara from Modern Family, any guess why?  I will give you the answer, name her looks.  

-That Comedy Actor race is terrible, Robin Williams should be there, and Andre Braugher should be there over Andy Smaburg

-Downton Abbey does not deserve nominations any more, sorry its fun, but not one of "the best"

-Lizzy Caplan should have received a nomination over Robin Wright in House of Cards, Wright's character is too stiff, while Caplan is orgasmic, yes puns intended.
