Lea Michele & Matthew Morrison are now Golden Globe nominees! (GLEE) — Page 2

Wow, some of you guys are so harsh! haha

I personally feel that all the Glee nominations are very well deserved :)

And no, I don't think it's "intentionally bad acting". Absolutely, the show is meant to be campy and a heightened reality and all that. But what I personally like about it is that it also has a lot of heart. And I think that's in large part due to the fact that the cast is very talented.

Jane Lynch might be playing a similar character to what she's played in the past, but she IS quite brilliant at it and I think she totally deserves the recognition. Matt was definitely nominated based on the Will/Terri scene in Mattress, and I'm totally cool with that! I thought he did an amazing job with that scene- it was so real and raw. And Lea, although she IS basically playing herself, is definitely adorable and I really can't imagine anyone else as Rachel Berry

So yeah, I love all three of them! :) And I love that the show got nominated as well! Sure, it has its weaknesses, but the parts that are good are really really great, for me. Some of the over all plotlines are/were obnoxious, but within each episode there were some fantastic moments, some really great writing, and wonderful acting


My only thing is I wish Chris Colfer had been nominated as well (if they had to keep it to 4, I'd say Chris is more deserving than Lea if only because Lea basically IS Rachel). But, you know, what are you gonna do?

Maybe it was the fact that I HEARD the scene was great before I saw it, but I thought his acting was atrocious. As in, I was laughing out loud at how badly he was indicating.

As much of the Glee supporter that I am, I have also no problem seeing reality. I am very happy to see Matt (Lea doesnt do much for me, but congrats) getting the nom but put against the actors in that category I do not expect a win. I honestly was only expecting to see the show itself and Jane Lynch up for awards.

---

I like the show, and don't mind seeing Morrison up there, but I think there were far superior and overlooked contenders, specifically:

Curb Your Enthusiasm, Parks and Recreation, Nurse Betty, How I Met Your Mother

Amy Poehler, America Ferrera, Mary Louise Parker

The Golden Globes likes to reward new (and popular) shows, so not much of a surprise.

---

First of all, I'm not sure intentional camp is actually camp at all.
If that were true, John Waters would have no career.

Good for Glee. The award shows' comedy categories have been getting monotonous in recent seasons, but Ugly Betty has fallen off the radar, and the NBC comedies are decreasing in quality; it was only a matter of time before a new show picked up the slack.

---

I'm happy Jane and Matt are nominated. And I absolutely LOVED the confrontation scene with Will and Terri! I am however rooting for Modern Family to win just 'cuz I think it's a better show.

---

You all act like these award nominations are methodically thought out or something. It's the Golden Globes!

Exciting for Glee, Matt Morrison and Lea Michele.

A little sad that Community and Parks & Rec, HIMYM and Big Bang Theory were left off the list. Not many quality shows left on tv....

Who referred to my comments indicating that I acknowledged it was bad acting...

That's not what I think at all. I think it's good acting. Maybe not strong acting, but their portrayals of their stereotypes are so perfect - they give human life to it. It's not just the big black girl, the girl-who-likes-the-jock-and-has-no-friends, the asian, the guy in the wheelchair, the football player, the cheerleader, etc. Each actor brings background, moment-to-moment, relationships, and emotion.

So it is serviceable acting. Not only that, but either they are directed to (or do it on their own) play to the script, which is what my comments earlier are.

And anyone who think Matthew Morrison is less deserving than actors in other shows have surely not seen his dramatic scenes in GLEE. His nomination is well-deserved and is surely not a "waste of a slot."

And WHAT is all this COMMUNITY love? That show is awful.

I feel nine will pick up 3 awards out of 5.

Nine has a chance at 2 (if not only 1) awards, and even those could be a stretch. If anything, it is most likely to win for Daniel Day-Lewis (though my money is on Michael Stuhlbarg for A Serious Man). It could win Best Picture - Musical or Comedy because we all know how the Hollywood Foreign Press loves its musicals. I still think Julie and Julia is the one to beat here though.

It won't win Best Actress (Cotillard will lose to Streep for J&J hands down), Best Featured Actress (Cruz has TOUGH competition here with Mo'Nique as the front-runner, but Anna Kendrick and Julianne Moore not far behind), or Best Song (I predict Paul McCartney to win here for Everybody's Fine).

I'm incredibly happy and proud of Matt !!!

Neil Patrick Harris was favored to win an Emmy this year but John Cryer won out of the blue. Not sure how that happened.
I wanted to love COMMUNITY because I have a huge crush on Joel McHale and love him on THE SOUP, but I couldn't get into the first couple episodes.
