And the nominees are...

I'll skip the film nominations (hey, this is all about TV!) and give big shout-outs to the Black actors nominated for Golden Globes for their television performances.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
Sophie Okonedo — Tsunami, The Aftermath

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
Andre Braugher — Thief
Michael Ealy — Sleeper Cell: American Terror
Chiwetel Ejiofor — Tsunami, The Aftermath

I'm mad that Chandra Wilson was not nominated for Grey's Anatomy, though the show did earn a nomination for BEST DRAMA. And big-ups to America Ferrera for garnering an acting nod for Ugly Betty, which also picked up a nomination for BEST COMEDY.

For a complete list of all nominations, visit the Golden Globes official website.

The awards will be handed out on Monday, January 15, 2007 (MLK Day!) on NBC at 8pm. Since this will be our first awards show together, I may have to do something special...like a live play-by-play chat as the awards are handed out! Stay tuned....
