You know, up until this moment I hadn’t really thought about how many great acting performances have been featured in both film and television but seeing this list of who will be competing against who really shows that there are a lot of talented people vying for award recognition this year. I have a few movies to see before I can make my picks (particularly Up in the Air and The Hurt Locker, among others) but I’m happy that some of my fave TV shows have been recognized. Dexter, ye gods, MUST win this year. Who are you rooting for? Have any of your faves been snubbed? Click HERE to see a full list of this year’s Golden Globe Award nominees.
