On the TV side this morning, the HFPA made some outside the box and pretty awesome choices here. Tatiana Maslany!!! I couldn't be more excited that they recognized her after all this time since Orphan Black aired in the spring. And Parks and Rec! I'm shocked at that one, actually- this is its first ever nomination after six seasons. I wonder if Amy Poehler hosting again managed to draw some more attention to her show.

Of course, Breaking Bad is finally acknowledged by the Golden Globes after so many years of being ignored, and is very likely to sweep the drama categories this year. And as usual, the Globes love shiny new things, showing some surprising love for Brooklyn Nine-Nine, House of Cards and Masters of Sex (although I can't believe Lizzy Caplan didn't get a nomination for the latter, if they like the show so much). Taylor Schilling was nodded for Orange is the New Black, but once again, I guarantee you that show would have landed more nominations in the Comedy category and very likely won had it been placed there. Nothing for Game of Thrones or Homeland this time, which is kind of surprising.
