We had the Screen Actors Guild nominations yesterday, and today it's time for the Golden Globes. No nominations for our homeboy, Michael C. Hall, or his hit cable show "Dexter," but his fellow Raleigh native Evan Rachel Wood (left) did snag a nomination for her supporting role in the HBO miniseries, "Mildred Pierce."
And unlike the SAG shutout, Hollywood Foreign Press had plenty of love for Showtime's newest (and excellent) drama, "Homeland," which is filmed in Charlotte. Those kudos are deserved, but I can't get over the fact that "Breaking Bad" isn't in the Best Drama Series category. Nothing against the other nominees, because they are all very fine, but you just can't leave "Breaking Bad" off that list. Period.
HBO led everyone -- by a mile -- with 18 nominations. Of the TV nominations, "Mildred Pierce" (HBO) and "Downton Abbey" (Masterpiece) led with 4 each.

The Screen Actors Guild Awards took place tonight in Los Angeles, the awards show that gives film and television actors a chance to choose the performances they believe most deserving.
I'll be live-blogging the Golden Globe action tonight, beginning around 8pm. Just keep checking this link for updates.
The fact that the "Golden Globes" aired on NBC didn't dissuade a little friendly network-bashing over the whole "Tonight Show" fiasco. But all things considered, it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Tina Fey was perhaps funniest on the Red Carpet minutes before the official show began, proclaiming that it wasn't actually raining in Hollywood, it was God crying for NBC.

We all know by now that the incomparable Neil Patrick Harris was
Lorenzo and I survived our 4-hour TV endurance test, more commonly known as the Academy Awards Show. Thanks to the wonders of technology, and the fact that we could make our sarcastic cracks (about the show, the actors, and each other) from different cities, we didn't come to actual blows, so we're calling it a success.
