There are always some ridiculous snubs and inclusions among the nominations . Let us name them.
NBC
The Golden Globe nominations are always sent from the bizarro world, and that is what we have come to expect. While the two main film categories, Best Drama and Best Comedy or Musical, unfolded as expected, with Zero Dark Thirty, Lincoln, and Les Miserables showing strength, there was also a Django Unchained surge that cannot be discounted. But I am not here to prognosticate; I am here to laugh at some of these ridiculous nominations and snubs! (Here is a full list of nominees.)
1) No "Mad Men" in Best Drama!
Don Draper is judging you, Hollywood Foreign Press. AMC
Are. You. Kidding. Me. Yes, this category is tough, with shows like Homeland, Downton Abbey, and Boardwalk Empire. And no, I don't think The Newsroom is good, exactly, but of course the Hollywood Foreign Press nominated it. But I cannot believe how absurd it is to leave out Mad Men, one of the best shows in the history of television, which had a great season. Just utter lunacy. People will say that The Newsroom took its place; I say Breaking Bad, a fellow AMC show that has never been nominated before, has that distinction. Breaking Bad is fantastic, but the HFPA has shown no signs it likes it other than nominating Bryan Cranston always. What a disaster.
