Golden Globe Nominations 2008

The nominations for the 2008 Golden Globes are in and there’s not a whole lot of shock within. The usual contenders are there, along with a few fresh faces.

The main ones you’re probably all interested in are the big ones, so let’s take a look at them.

Best Drama Series: Big Love, Damages, Grey’s Anatomy, House, Mad Men and The Tudors.

Best Comedy Series: 30 Rock, Californication, Entourage (that’s a comedy?!), Extras and Pushing Daisies.

Best Actor (Drama): Big Love - Bill Paxton, Michael C. Hall - Dexter, Hugh Laurie - House, Jon Hamm - Mad Men and finally Jonathan Rhys Meyers - The Tudors.

Best Actress Drama: Brothers and Sisters - Sally Field, The Closer - Kyra Sedgwick, Damages - Glenn Close, Medium - Patricia Arquette, The Riches - Minnie Driver, Saving Grace - Holly Hunter and of course The Sopranos - Edie Falco.

It’s a strange one isn’t it that the Golden Globes and other award institutes never take science fiction shows seriously. I watch most of those shows listed and I have to say I enjoy the drama of Battlestar Galactica far more than any of them. It would be nice just one to have a sci-fi series taken seriously.
