The nominations for the 66th Annual Golden Globes were announced today and you know what that probably means. Come January, HBO will probably be taking home even more awards for John Adams and Recount than it already has. I don't know though. John Adams might have some competition in the Best Performance By An Actor In A Miniseries or TV movie category. Adams was a revolutionary guy, but could he break the neck of his enemy by squeezing it with one leg? If that's part of the criteria for taking home the award, Kiefer Sutherland's got that one in the bag.
Alec Baldwin, who received a nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a TV Comedy had this to say about his nomination, "I am thrilled and deeply indebted to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association."
