Golden Globes nominations are controversial as always

If at some point today you sense the weight of indignation and outrage pressing down on you, it's coming from the Twitterverse and it's over the Golden Globe Best Actress nomination of  Piper Perabo (right).

You read that right. Piper Perabo was nominated for a Golden Globe for USA's lightweight drama "Covert Affairs." Over Connie Britton ("Friday Night Lights"). Over Glenn Close ("Damages"). Over Melissa Leo and Khandi Alexander ("Treme").

It's hardly surprising, really. The awards folks are always a little bit screwy in some categories and fans and critics are always a little bit angry over the nominations. In addition to Perabo, other targets of outrage today are the nomination of Scott Caan ("Hawaii Five-0"), too much love for "Glee" (specifically Matthew Morrison), and the omission of "Name Your Favorite Show." (I'll name mine: "Terriers," "Justified," "Friday Night Lights" -- no nominations for any.)

Click below for the full list of Television nominees. If you're ticked off (or pleased), tell us in the comments. The Golden Globes will be presented on January 16 and hosted by Ricky Gervais.
