Golden Globe Reactions

So the Golden Globe nominations were announced a few days ago, and there were many surprises in the TV categories (in the movie categories not so much). A full list of all the nominations can be found here: http://www.goldenglobes.org/2012/12/nominations-2013/.
Many critics were baffled by some of the nominations, and lack-of nominations for particular people/shows. Here are a few of my opinions on the nominations.
*BTW: HFPA stands for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association

Things that I am mad at:
-No love for Community or Happy Endings. Fans love these shows. Critics love these shows. When will the Academy and HFPA start to love these shows as well?
-Smash for best Musical/Comedy? I mean, I liked the show and all, but there are so many other great comedies on television today.
-30 Rock not being nominated for best Comedy (umm...Tina Fey is hosting guys...)
-Parks and Recreation getting dissed again for best Comedy. Is anyone paying attention to how funny the writing is?
-American Horror Story:Asylum not being nominated for the Miniseries/TV Movie category. (In defense of HFPA, it is a really tough category)
-Nothing for The Walking Dead? Is the show just too bold for awards shows or something?
-Nothing for Game of Thrones? (Again...probably too bold of a show) Nothing for Peter Dinklage at least though? I mean...he WON the category last year, and now he didn't even get a nomination. Have you seen the Blackwater episode? It is acting at its finest.
-Nothing for Sons of Anarchy? I know that the HFPA doesn't hate the show considering Katey Sagal won a few years back. I just don't get it.

Things that I love:
-Two Words. Mandy Patinkin. He is so amazing in Homeland, and it is nice to see him get a nom from the HFPA when the Academy seemed to forget about him last summer.
-Amy Poehler. Obviously.
-Jeff Daniels with the Lead Actor nomination for The Newsroom. On that note...
-The Newsroom getting a nomination for Best Drama. I am so glad this amazing show is getting recognition.
-Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere for Nashville. Awesome show, and they are both amazing in it.
-Girls being nominated for Best Comedy (Could they actually pull an upset of Modern Family?) As well as a nom for its leading lady and creator Lena Dunham (she is so talented).
-Max Greenfield for New Girl. (Schmidt happens) Now if only we can squeeze Jake Johnson in there next year...

Random Opinions:
-I have said it before and I will say it again. Why does the HFPA clump together all of the supporting actors and actresses into one category? There should be separate categories for Comedy, Drama, and TV Movie/Miniseries. This category contains some of the best talent there is, and more actors should be getting the proper recognition.
-I cannot believe that Mad Men was not even nominated for Best Drama. (I'm not complaining considering I don't particularly like the show) The show is always considered the best of the best, and now it doesn't even have a chance.
-Will Damien Lewis' win from the Emmys be enough of a boost for him to beat Bryan Cranston for Lead Actor?
-I am interested to see how Jessica Lange will do in the lead actress category. Last year, she won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe in the Supporting race for AHS. Now she has to compete against Julianne Moore's Sarah Palin.
-I am glad Sarah Paulson was nominated for Game Change, but I think I would have rather her been nominated in the same category for American Horror Story: Asylum.

The Golden Globes will be televised on January 13th, 2013 on NBC at 8:00pm ET.
