The Golden Globes TV Frontrunners: A Movieline IM Chat
Series Awards
Julie: Moving on...Best TV Series? The strangest thing about these nominees, for me, is why Nurse Jackie is considered a comedy.
Louis: I feel the same way about Glee. I believe it is a strange, song-filled expressionist dirge.
Julie: Also, In Treatment was screwed this year.
Louis: Anyway: House is out. So is Big Love. I think it's still Mad Men. I just don't think Dexter can take both Best Actor and Best TV Series.
Julie: True Blood is also out. I'm still stuck on Dexter's bloody bathtub, but the smart money is on Mad Men, which won last year.
Louis: Now, the Comedy contest is more interesting. 30 Rock should take it, but -- no, wait, it will take it. Modern Family is far too young. And Glee isn't ready either, since it is lame. And enough with effing Entourage.
Julie: I think Modern Family could take it, maybe I am being naive. I feel like 30 Rock has peaked. Mind you, it's still better than most things on TV, but Modern Family is fresh and surpassed everyone's expectations for an ABC comedy. And why isn't Ed O'Neill nominated instead of Thomas Jane!?
Louis: With a single nomination, Modern Family would be a pretty thrilling victory.

Glee is like my America's gay best friend. Don't sleep on it, people.
Jesus, the pictures of Nicholas Hoult on this site are fucking up my sense-making.
This has very little to do with the above conversation, but the crazy dad scientist from Fringe should at least get a supporting actor nomination somewhere along the line
Agreed.
@STOLIDOG - Agreed! John Noble hits all the notes, from scary to tears, in a single monologue. He's like the male Sally Field -- but crazier. Love him.
As for this article, it is one of the worst I've read in Movieline.com ever -- even for an IM report -- so smarmy, cliquish, and immature, it represents everything that is wrong with internet publications. To quote Movieline "journalist" Julie, "Whatever".
I am not real fantastic with English but I come up this real leisurely to read.
