Really happy to see 50/50, JGL, Homeland, Damian Lewis, and Claire Danes are nominated.

I'm beginning to wonder how a show as critically adored (rightfully so, too) as Community gets snubbed from the major awards year after year.

Because a lot of people in a position of power don't think the show is funny.

That pretty much sums it up. The people in power who do the voting don't fit the demographic Community is aimed at.

Neither do critics. And yet it's near universally loved by them.

I guess they're more of an Emmy show?

Did Arrested Development have success across the board as far as awards and critics?

Never been nominated for one of those either.

I don't know. 30 Rock has won it's share of awards. If those voters picked 30 Rock, why would they be turned off by Community?

Shame to see Sean Bean snubbed for Game of Thrones just like at the Emmys. Also no Parks and Rec for best Comedy should definitely be there in my opinion, but again that's probably a demographic situation like Community.

22 Emmy noms with 6 wins.
3 Golden Globe noms with 1 win which was for best actor.

The real snub is no Giancarlo Esposito as a supporting actor on Breaking Bad

Re: 2012 Golden Globes

I know Dayman is eyeing one award category, and one award category only.

I don't know if it's deserving, but I'm glad to see Moneyball get nomination praise in four separate categories. Neither Brad Pitt nor Jonah Hill didn't have to exercise too many muscles in their acting abilities for the film, but the amount of subtlety, camaraderie, and showmanship they displayed looks like it might have been enough for them to get by.

Not that these movies were the best of the year, but I wish that Super 8 and Hanna had gotten some recognition somewhere. Chances are, with the kinds of films that they are, they will not find their way into these award shows.

Person of Interest has been the greatest debut TV series for me IMO, and if there's a chance they can make it to the Emmy's in one category or another, that would be enough for me.

And as for those who never really got a chance to go out and see Cars 2, it may not win the hearts of many, but it sure will still win the likes of many. I was one of the people who were a bit dismissive that they made a sequel, and for the life of me I couldn't really see the ways that it could even dominate the relatively mediocre first film... but in Pixar I trusted, and they delivered just enough glamour for me to, quite frankly, enjoy the film very much. I haven't seen any of the other animated movies on the list, but I can say that if Cars 2 wins, about 70% of that will be because of Pixar's brand name, and the other 30% will still be because it was actually a pretty good animated film. I've now seen it four more times since owning it, if that helps justify my adoration of it.

I'm disappointed in that.
