It's Golden Globes time, so that means not only will we be publishing the nominations (we already did here), but we also get to publish the press releases from the various networks bragging about their Golden Globe Nominations. In the case of HBO, they are celebrating a grand total of 12 Golden Globe Nominations. Did your favorite HBO show get a nod? Agree? Complain? I'm totally pumped for Thomas Jane, who I think has one of the most underrated roles on television. The guy rocks. Also, so nice to see Temple Grandin get so much love - that's one I honestly thought would go over people's heads. Here's what HBO thinks about it:
