I am absolutely shocked by the Brooklyn Nine-Nine love. I think the show is great but I never would have guessed it would have been nominated for Best Comedy or that Andy Samberg would have been nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy.

I'm surprised the Golden Globes ignored Mad Men and especially Homeland. Homeland won Best Drama the last 2 years, Claire Danes had won Best Actress the last 2 years, and Damian Lewis won Best Actor last year, so I would have thought at the very least the show and Claire Danes would have gotten nominated. I'm shocked Tatiana Maslany got a nomination over Danes. I've heard Orphan Black is great but Maslany has gotten ignored by all the major award shows.

I am also shocked, but pleasantly surprised about the love for Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
What about Masters of Sex? Is that a good one?
Surprised to see Top of the Lake here. I started watching it on Netflix. Good, but not great(not yet anyway).

Best part of the nominations: Idris Elba!

I am also shocked by the "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" noms. I watch it but could take it or leave it.

On the other hand, "Raising Hope" and cast have always been ignored.

Great that Monica Potter got a nom from a terrific show which doesn't get much recognition.

Happy to see recognition for Masters of Sex. Very good show.
Pretty disgusted though that Brooklyn 99 was nominated for Best Comedy and Orange is the New Black was not.
Not is just almost enough to make me vomit. ugh.

That's seriously shocking to me.

I see now that Taylor Schilling was nominated for Best actress for OITNB but in the drama category.
I dont understand these categorizations sometimes.
I would classify it as a comedy clearly but whatever.
I guess I wouldnt classify B99 as a comedy cause I watched the pilot and no laughs were to be heard from me.

Seemed the movie awards were spread around this year. It's entertaining since the stars tend to be "looser" than at the Oscars.

While not a big fan of the show, I was happy for the "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" cast and their obvious surprise and joy.

But basically, there are about 90 members voting for the awards. And any time there's something odd or quirky in categorization or winner, I just remind myself that Pia Zadora has a Globe.
