Almost Everyone Gets A Golden Globe Nomination!

With the relief that my last job had ended, the excitement of news of my next one, and my current vacation in NY (I'll update when I have more moments but so far, won lottery for Wicked (which I hated before and actually kinda like this time around and I'll explain in another post), Young Frankenstein (great cast, so so musical), and saw the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular (still too cheesy touristy for me), and Cirque du Soleil's Wintuk (good show, but really Cirque geared for newbies or kids but still a good show, if not the best Cirque I've seen) I completely forgot that the Golden Globe nominations came out today.

I'll review when I get back home but apparently everyone got nominated (with several categories going over 5, 7 noms for Best Dramatic Picture), some love for the cables (Mad Men! Damages! Big Love!) and Pushing Daisies! and 30 Rock! but where's Ugly Betty? or Friday Night Lights? shunned again...

The 25 main categories are after the jump. I'll come back to this and add some comments but I need sleep since I have many more shows to see in NY this weekend!

My friend Michelle always said Im the luckiest guy she knows. I just say I know how to work my magic.

But yes, I was completely shocked that we won BOTH lotteries on the same day and that everything worked out perfectly. We were actually almost hoping to lose so we would see a play but I'm glad I re-reviewed Wicked because it was much better this time around.
