2012 Golden Globe Nominees: Winners and Losers
An entire network, a possible Oscar fave and Muppets get the shaft
The HFPA giveth and the HFPA ignore
As usual, the Golden Globes make a few brave choices and many, many weird ones. Here's our list of the movies that deserved a nod (what, no love for Kermit and Miss Piggy?) and didn't get one, the stalwart contenders who made the cut (as much as they seemed entranced with new, shiny shows, the HFPA still found room for "Modern Family") and what we think.
Feel free to weigh in with your comments below about who was overlooked and who got a richly deserved nod.

So Wiig being nominated for lead while McCarthy being shut out for supporting isn't too shocking...I dont think it says that the Globes prefer one performance over another, it's just easier for Wiig because she had very little competition in Leading Actress in a Comedy.

Happy to change if I'm wrong!

Elevation Looks like he was confused because they list the TV series first in the Best Actor Category instead of the performer. It was Carell, not the show that got a nom.
