SHe has 6 nomination for work on Will And Grace and another two for work on The Starter Wife but either way she hasnt won

Good catch with Frank Langella...the Globes site says this is his first nomination.

I would've never guessed that Blair Underwood had a previous nomination. Then again I was surprised just like this when John Corbett got a nod for Sex and he had a previous one for Northern Exposure...

The Director's line up match 100% with the BP Drama line up. that's never happent (al least since 1981)

I love irony.

It just occurred to me that 30 Rock, the "best comedy series on television" (not to me), has won two Golden Globes by now but it has never won Best Comedy Series.

It will probably win this year, but I think it is a little bit funny that Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey have won and the show itself has lost to Ugly Betty (Season 1) and Extras (Season 2)...

Actually, 30 Rock was not nominated the year Ugly Betty won. Even if Baldwin and/or Fey lose this year, I assume 30 Rock will win Comedy Series.

*This is the first time since 1991 that two leads from the same movie are nominated for Best Actor-Comedy/Musical (Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson for In Bruges). In that year, the nominees were Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges for The Fisher King.

*This is also the first year since 2002 that Johnny Depp has not been nominated for anything.

*Nominees Blair Underwood and Viola Davis were in the tv series "City Of Angels"

Nominees Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson both co-starred in Sense And Sensibility

Nominee Hugh Laurie was also in Sense And Sensibility as Mr. Palmer.
