In terms of TV nominations, they definitely went the way of cable shows. I'm not sure how I feel about the nominations overall. Though, who knows if there'll even be a show with the strike.

I can't believe that Judd Apatow isn't being recognized for anything in the comedy category. On the plus side, however, 30 Rock has a few well-deserved nominations, so my fingers are crossed for further seasons.

I am also kinda disappointed too that Judd Apatow was not recognized for anything this year. It was a tough year though for the Comedy or Musical category. We have had a great year on that end. I am totally excited though that "Hairspray" got 3 nominations!! I am rooting for Nikki Blonsky all the way!!

I am also a little puzzled by all the tv noms but I guess that is the magic of the Golden Globes. "Pushing Daisies" was nominated for both leading acting awards and best comedy which is great. Love that show.

Wow I guess I gotta get out more ... I haven't even heard of most of those..

[AJane]

Is Medium still on the air? I never got the appeal of that show, or Patricia Arquette.

The only shows I watch out of this bunch are The Office and The Sopranos. I've heard great things about 30 Rock, but for some reason have never gotten around to watching it. I've been a fan of Tina Fey's for ages, too.

I'm going to watch the awards show anyway, and not just for the fashion parade - I'll be cheering for Adam Beach and Anna Paquin, who both hail from my hometown.

I have to wait a couple more days to see "Juno". It is coming to the local theater so I definitely want to go see it. It will probably be a toss up for me though with Ellen Page and Amy Adams. Amy was darn good in "Enchanted" as Gizelle. I mean, she was like a walking live action hybrid of Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Cinderella, Ariel, and Snow White.

Please if there is a god Julia Roberts won't win and hog the stage......blech

Juno I keep hearing about how great it is ....I'm not interested in the theaters these days unless forced. I'd rather wait for dvds unless there are special effects.

I have heard more from friends/family with little ones that they enjoyed Enchanted more than their kids......and about Amy Adams. So, without seeing it I'd say she will win for that. She was very funny in Wedding Crashers.

I will watch for mostly the fashion.

Glad Johnny Depp got a nod and Casey Affleck.

Golden Globe Awards organizers plan to abandon the televised formal ceremony this Sunday and replace it with a press-conference announcement of the winners, according to reports Monday.

The drastic movie is in response to the Screen Actors Guild announcement that its members would not cross picket lines by the Writers Guild of America, effectively leaving the show without any stars.

Instead of the lavish ceremony, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will now announce the awards at a press conference broadcast on NBC, the Los Angeles Times and Deadline Hollywood Daily report.

NBC also plans a Dateline special on the nominees and an hour-long show covering Hollywood parties, according to the reports, which cite an internal NBC memo.

There was no official comment from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which sponsors the Globes.

The show, the first major one of this year's awards season, was to have taken place this Sunday in the grand ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. NBC was scheduled to air the event.

The writing had been on the wall that, despite the best efforts of the network and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the 65th annual ceremony was in jeopardy. On Friday it was reported that the nominated actors would not cross the Writers Guild picket lines to attend the ceremony.

In terms of Globe nominations, Atonement led the list of movies in competition, with seven.

I always love watching the red carpet and the awards show so I'm sad they won't be televised!
