2010 Screen Actors Guild Award Nominations (TV)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Cable, CBS, FX, FOX, HBO, NBC, PBS, Showtime, TNT-HD, 30 Rock, House, Medium, The Office, News,

Squeezed in between the Golden Globes broadcast and the Oscar nominations is an awards ceremony voted on solely by the actors. (So unlike the People’s Choice Awards, this actually has meaning.)

For the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, we’ll see a lot of the old and just a little bit of the new. Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of television nominees:

• The Closer, Dexter and 30 Rock lead this year’s pack with three nominations each.
• Despite no individual mentions, freshman comedies Modern Family and Glee were both honored in the Best Ensemble category.
• Samantha Who‘s Christina Applegate received a nomination despite starring in a canceled show.
• True Blood received its first nom—but just for its cast, not for any single actor.

The SAG Awards will air Saturday, Jan. 23 on both TNT and TBS.

2010 Golden Globe Nominations (TV)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Cable, CBS, FX, FOX, HBO, Showtime, 30 Rock, Entourage, House, Lost, The Office,

The 2009-10 awards season kicked into high gear this morning with the official announcement of the Golden Globe nominations.

Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of TV nominees:

• Freshman drama Glee leads all TV nominations with a total of four - including mentions for Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch. Damages, Dexter, 30 Rock and Big Love all got three noms.
• Although cable television dominated the Best Drama category, the major networks had a tight hold of the Best Comedy category.
• Newbies recognized this year include Courteney Cox (Cougar Town), Thomas Jane (Hung), Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie) and Modern Family.
• Despite big buzz around Emmy time, Big Bang Theory‘s Jim Parsons did not get any love this time around. Meanwhile, Emmy-winner Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) was snubbed as well.
• HBO, once again, leads all channels with 17 nominations. FOX and Showtime both had six each.

The 67th Golden Globe Awards with host Ricky Gervais airs Jan. 17 on NBC.
