The Golden Globes are all about buzz so to act as if it's all about talent or who is most worthy of recognition is what's really absurd here.
Furthermore, if Tina Fey and Christina Applegate managed to garner nominations then Julia Louis Dreyfus sure as hell deserved one.
Agreed.

I seriously doubt that you watch Samantha Who. Applegate's character is anything but a dumb blonde. Quirky? Yes. Dumb? No.
I think Applegate deserves her nomination and should probably win. Her performances this year have been amazing. Her post-strike todd stuff was great, and her Owen storyline was fantastic.
I agree with others that Jennifer Esposito should have a nomination. She's been great this season and is doing the best work of her career.
JLD deserves to be here, but i just don't know over who. Ferrera rebounded in her post strike episodes and during the third season. And although fey hasn't done amazing work during the 3rd season, her work at the end of the second season was the best she's ever done everywhere.

So which is it? Some say Tina's work has been amazing and some say it hasn't. People are really grasping trying to justify her nom. I just hope they give the win to anyone but Tina Fey.
Boy I can't wait until Edie Falco comes back on the scene just to wipe that smug look off Tina's face. Order will then be restored!

If they don't then we'd see the same nominees every year. At least there is some differences in every category. Also, studios send out screeners of episodes from the last year to voters.

some people compare Tina to Jerry Seinfeld with his show, but I think she can act. Although she isn't the best on her show, the supporting players should get more praise. Alec definitely deserves all the kudos though...

She should have won for the mini series last year...
Small Show, needs a boost, deserving actress, 8th career nomination, has never one a globe, her husband is popular around town.
Her speech would be exciting and the show isn't that bad.
The show isn't bad at all. It's loads of fun. And Debra Messing carries the show gracefully and effortlessly.
The people who keep hating on Messing's nomination are the people who: A) have never seen the show, or B) have only seen snippets (or at most, one episode) and feel that that's enough for them to judge Messing's worthiness.
In fact, "The Starter Wife" was robbed of another nomination -- Best Supporting Actress for Judy Davis!
Messing & Davis make a fantastic comedic duo. They should both be nominated.
Still seems strange. Some are like: "this episode here so it fell within the timeline." roflmao
How about just doing consistently brilliant work.
But she does do consistently brilliant work. The entire 30 Rock cast do that too. It's only a 20 minute show unlike the other nominees who are in 40 minute shows or are in shows centered around their character e.g JLD. The focus has to rotate amongst the characters each week and the actors, IMO, do a great job with whatever plotline/screentime they have every week.

or C) Have actually watched the entire show and don't think she's all that terrific in it.

The true shock of looking at the list of television nominations for this year's Golden Globes is the fact that Breaking Bad is nowhere to be found. I know the show wasn't that well known but you would think the Globes would have taken notice, especially when you factor in Bryan Cranston's (much deserved) Emmy win in September and the darkness of the show. Considering how much the HFPA loves the show Weeds you would think Breaking Bad would be a shoo-in for some nods.
Also, though it didn't surprise me as much, I was disappointed to not see any love given for The Shield. It always surprised me that the Globes never nominated the show again after it won Best TV Series - Drama and Best Actor in a TV Series - Drama in 2003. I thought the HFPA might show it some love since the show just ended but I guess I was wrong about that too.

I haven't been able to find it confirmed anywhere, but it occurred to me that "Breaking Bad" only aired seven episodes this year. I don't know if the necessary amount for eligibility is six or eight, but if it's eight than that explains the conspicuous absence of Cranston, his show, Holly Hunter (Saving Grace) and Minnie Driver (The Riches). Everyone predicted them (maybe not Driver) but I think they weren't eligible to begin with (though I only realized that afterward).

According to the Golden Globes website, a show needs to air seven episodes to be eligible.

Well alright then, thanks. If the requirement was six then the snub would make sense; otherwise, it's a bit puzzling.
I just hope they give the win to anyone but Tina Fey.
