Golden Globes – Television

Below are the Golden Globe nominees for Television, to be aired on January 16th.

Ok, I have to confess. I don't have cable, and am totally unfamiliar with many/most of these programs, which makes picking a winner just about as easy as picking a lottery winner. To further complicate things, I honestly don't care who wins . . . but you might, lots of people do. Oh, one clarification, I wish great to success to Glee and it's amazing cast. Go Glee!
