QPORIT

The Golden Globe Nominations include mostly famous names in big projects.

Of my own favorites that I'd like to have seen recognized (but were not), I was particularly disappointed in the absence of THE AMERICANS, especially Keri Russell, Emmy Rossum in SHAMELESS, Chris Gorham - the blind agent in COVERT AFFAIRS, and the great (though little seen) performance of Scott Haze in CHILD OF GOD.
