Cable Leads the Golden Globe Nominations

December 14, 2010 Robin Parrish

Once again reinforcing the fact that cable television is where the quality is at, the 68th Annual Golden Globe Nominations were announced just minutes ago, and pay-cable networks HBO and Showtime were the over-achievers, although Fox’s Glee got the most love of any single show.

HBO leads the nominees with 12 nods, while Showtime follows at 8. CBS and Fox scored 6 each, while AMC earned 5 nominations. In cumulative series nods, Glee got 5, followed by 3 nominations each for 30 Rock, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, The Good Wife, Mad Men, Modern Family, Pillars of the Earth, and Temple Grandin.

Some noteworthy bits: AMC’s buzz-heavy The Walking Dead scored a Best Drama nomination, but sadly nothing else; Steve Buscemi scored a Best Actor (Drama) nod for his leading role in Boardwalk Empire; Lea Michele (Best Actress), Matthew Morrison (Best Actor), Jane Lynch (Supporting Actress), and Chris Colfer (Supporting Actor) scored nominations in every acting category for Glee; and Julia Stiles nabbed a nomination for her guest turn on Dexter.
