The 67th Golden Globes Awards air tonight on NBC! I’m not a person that puts a lot of stock in awards shows but I do love me an awards show gathering. It’s chips and dip time y’all! Oh and the fact that Ricky Gervais is hosting makes this must watch television.

As I sit here this morning looking at the list of Golden Globes nominees, I’m realizing I don’t have much of an opinion when it comes to the film categories. Apparently I spend too much time watching films that grace the festival circuit and not the multiplex.

Does that mean I don’t have an opinion? Hardly, I always have an opinion!

Here’s how I’d like to see the Golden Globes shakedown when they air tonight (my picks are in bold). I’m not saying this is what I think will win, but in my heart what I wish would take home the golden sparkly thing. Let’s start with TV!

Best Television Series: Drama
“Mad Men”
“True Blood”
“Dexter”
“Big Love”
“House”
I really wanted to say TRUE BLOOD but some of that Maryann shit got cuckoo bananas and derailed the show at times. MAD MEN is always fucking crazy good but this season took some time to completely hook me. DEXTER on the other hand had possibly its best season to date. So gooooooooood!

Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series: Drama
Jon Hamm, “Mad Men”
Hugh Laurie, “House”
Michael C. Hall, “Dexter”
Simon Baker, “The Mentalist”
Bill Paxton, “Big Love”
No contest in my opinion… Michael C. Hall should win. He played the charming, dutiful husband and father with LEAVE IT TO BEAVER grace but he also played a manic, hell bent, jealous and at times loose canon Dex this season. Scary good.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series: Drama
Anna Paquin, “True Blood”
Kyra Sedgwick, “The Closer”
Julianna Margulies, “The Good Wife”
Glenn Close, “Damages”
January Jones, “Mad Men”
While I thought January Jones did a killer job this season, she’s no Glenn Close. But I didn’t pick Glenn Close because I’m ready for a newbie this year. I’m going with Julianna Margulies because her controlled yet crazy empowering portrayal of Alicia Florrick is mesmerizing to watch.

Best Television Series: Comedy
“30 Rock”
“The Office”
“Glee”
“Modern Family”
“Entourage”
Surely most of you thought I’d pick GLEE for this category. While I think it has a better chance at winning (I mean its hands down the most original series of the year), I’m still going with MODERN FAMILY! Family continues to be a smart, witty, laugh out loud dark family comedy that hits your heart from week to week. Best Series in any category… Period!

The rest of my Golden Globes TV and Film predictions are after the jump… (more…)

My favorite video online today is a wonderful video of Michael Cera auditioning for Knocked Up. Obviously Cera is a comedic genius (see Arrested Development) and this video is a joke released to mock the now famous video of Lily Tomlin freaking out on Director David O. Russell. Knocked Up opens tomorrow and stars the shaggy and loveable Seth Rogan as well as the way too pretty for Seth Rogan, Katherine Heigl.

Not only is Michael Cera pitch perfect, Katherine Heigl rocks it out as the pained and stuck in the middle costar. Genius! Frakking Genius! This is the biggest internet geek squad marketing campaign for a movie made by a bunch of self declared geeks and I for one cannot wait to see Knocked Up this week.
