Golden Globes winners

The "press conference" show is now a memory, and here was the TV scene.
TV supporting actor in a series, miniseries or TV movie: Jeremy Piven for "Entourage." Enough already for this overrated show!
TV supporting actress in a series, miniseries or TV movie: Samantha Morton for "Longford." OK, good for whatever "Longford" is.
TV actress in a drama series: Glenn Close for "Damages." A well-deserved win for an astounding performance.
TV actor for drama series: Jon Hamm for "Mad Men." Woo hoo! Hamm blew me away with his complicated leading character Don Draper.
TV actor for a miniseries or TV movie: Jim Broadbent for "Longford." Oh, come on.
TV actress for a miniseries or TV movie: Queen Latifah for "Life Support." Happy for Queen Latifah, unaware of the miniseries or TV movie.
TV actor in a comedy series: David Duchovny for "Californication." A cool guy in a hot show.
TV comedy series: "Extras." A very awkward, and very funny comedy.
TV actress in a comedy series: Tina Fey in "30 Rock." A great writer and actress, rewarded for coming up with such a brilliant comedy that wouldn't be the same without her writing and acting.
TV miniseries or TV movie: "Longford," again, whatever that is.
TV drama: "Mad Men." If you haven't seen it yet, you will have to add it to your Netflix list.

The non TV award I was particularly happy about was "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" because it was the oddball in the category. There will be plenty of praise for "Juno" to come, because it is excellent.

It's nice they found a way to tell us about the winners, by the way, but this show was really weird. I can't say I give a care what bubbleheads Billy Bush and Nancy O'Dell, who keep talking over each other, think of anything! At least it was quick.

Is this what the world is coming to?

I saw this quirky movie called "The TV Set" recently. With "American Idol" about to start up and all these weird-sounding new reality shows on the schedule (I don't even want to know what "Baby Borrowers" is), I found this clip, "Slut Wars," particularly appropriate.
How far off are we from this?

Will anyone miss the Golden Globes?

One of the latest victims of the writers strike is the Golden Globes telecast. It is fun to see the pretty dresses, but who will actually miss the show? I mean, we will still get the results, and it's one less award show where we can become disillusioned by the breakout star giving the same speech he/she will give everywhere else, and the whole Hollywood Press Corps is pretty suspect anyway.
The Globes were supposed to be on NBC Sunday. Here are 3 things you could check out instead.
1) "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles": new Sarah (Lena Headey, "300"), same cool terminators. 8 p.m., Fox.
2) "Mean Girls": Check out Lindsay Lohan before she was a train wreck. Also stars Tina Fey. 8 p.m., ABC Family.
3) "I Love New York: Reunion": See how long you can watch before you have to throw up. 7:30 p.m., VH-1.

Midseason malaise

What looks good to you in this midseason lineup?

Personally I am looking forward to "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" and Lost." And, um, catching up on my reading?

'Mad Men' top show in 2007

Click here to see my top TV shows for 2007.
(Note: The article was cut. My last two shows on my top ten were "Reaper" and "The Simpsons.")
Here are some other shows I like that didn't make the list for one reason or another:
"24:" A terrible 6th season and nonexistant 7th season left me cold.
"Aliens in America," the best of the freshman comedies.
"Everybody Hates Chris," a consistently hilarious sitcom.
"Heroes:" still a must-see, even when it's stupid.
"My Name is Earl," the most lovable hillbillies on TV.
"Rescue Me," in spite of itself, I can't turn away.
"Scrubs:" Saying goodbye after 7 good years.
