Golden Globes Nominations [2007]

[Silent Noise]

Nominations for the 64th annual Golden Globe Awards, to be held Jan. 15, 2007, were announced Thursday morning in Beverly Hills.

So heres my thoughts on who I'd pick on some of the TV awards:

TV Series, Drama: I watched 3 of these shows; Big Love, Grey's Anatomy and Lost. I'd pick either Big Love or Grey's? Probabily Gry's Anatomy.

TV Series, Comedy: I've seen all the shows exept Ugly Betty. I'd go with Desperate Housewives.

Lead Actor, TV Drama: Hugh Laurie!!

Lead Actress, TV Drama: Another hard one, Patricia Arquette, Evangeline Lilly or Ellen Pompeo?? I'm going with Patricia Arquette.

Lead Actor, TV Comedy/Musical: Zach Braff!

Lead Actress, TV Comedy/Musical: Felicity Huffman!

Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or TV-Movie: Katherine Heigl ! But Emily Blunt a very close second.

[Collateral Damage]

TV Series, Comedy - The only one of these that I've really watched is Desperate Housewives

Lead Actor, TV Drama - Hugh Laurie because from the few episodes of House I've seen he is just fantastic!

Lead Actor, TV Comedy/Musical - Most probably Zach Braff

Lead Actress, TV Drama - I'm tempted to say Ellen Pompeo just as that would be another for Grey's... but in all truth It's either Patricia Arquette or Evangeline Lilly for me!

Lead Actress, TV Comedy/Musical - I'd say either of the Desperate Housewives ladies :nod:

Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or TV-Movie - Katherine Heigl

Lead Actor, Comedy - Johnny Depp!! Just has to be, lol!

Lead Actress, Comedy - Renée Zellweger (Miss Potter) - haven't seen it but it looks good, and she seems to do a pretty good job in the role

Original Score - The Da Vinci Code, it wasn't the best film, but the music just sounded amazing!

Why didn't House get nominated for the TV Series, Drama? It's awesome. :D

[Fortunate Fiasco]

I'd be happy is Grey's Anatomy, House or Desperate Housewives pick up any awards :D!

[Lights Out]

If Desperate Housewives or Grey's pick up awards then I will be happy, don't really like any of the others, House looks good but I haven't seen many episodes, only bits that I caught when in Emma's room.

[Fortunate Fiasco]

We're getting close now, I just read that Patrick and Ellen are tipped to win their awards, yay! I'm excited! I hope they do, they both really deserve it! However, it's a wonder if Patrick will be there, as his wife is due to give birth to twins anytime now!
