For all you numberheads out there (no, not Numb3rheads -- they didn't get any nominations ... again), here's how this morning's Golden Globe nominations break down and add up:
HBO lead the way, as usual, with 22 nominations, thanks to shows In Treatment (5 noms -- the most for a series), Entourage (3), and True Blood (2), and movies/mini-series Recount (5, the most for a TV movie or mini-series), John Adams (4), and Bernard and Doris (3).
Showtime came in a distant second with 8 noms, with 2 each for Dexter, Californication, and Weeds. Tudors scored 1 nom, while An American Crime got 1 nom as a "made for television" movie even though it was officially made for a theatrical release until its distributor decided it was "too dark" for that, even though it starred red hot Ellen Page. The movie was doomed for a straight-to-DVD release until Showtime grabbed it and gave it an official TV premiere, so I guess that makes it count as a made for TV movie.
NBC was next with 6 noms, a number that is sure to drop next year when 10 pm becomes Leno o'clock. 30 Rock got 3, The Office followed with 2, and Law & Order: SVU got 1.
ABC and AMC tied with 5 noms each. ABC got 2 for Brother and Sisters and 1 for Ugly Betty, Samantha Who?, and the TV movie A Raisin in the Sun. AMC's were for Mad Men (3) and ... uh ... that seems to be it. I can't find the other 2 nominations on the list anywhere. Either the Golden Globes suck at adding, or I do.
Fox got 3 noms: 2 for House and 1 for the 24 movie.
PBS also got 3 noms, all for the movie Cranford.
USA got 2 noms, 1 for Monk and 1 for The Starter Wife.
CBS trailed all the other networks with just 1 nom for How I Met Your Mother. That's embarrassing. Lifetime and TNT also got 1 nom each, for Coco Chanel and The Closer, respectively.
