[spunkygirl]

Yeah it's too bad Eva didn't get a nom, Nicollette is good, but Eva is alot better IMO.

Wow Felicity and her husband both get GG nominations, I bet there's alot of celebration going on in their household

[gOoSe]

eh, at this point - Gaberielle is not really as intresting as Bree,Susan or Lynette...

IMO

[spunkygirl]

When Teri was talking about her Golden Globe nomination, she said she broke her toe at her 40th Birthday party, someone stepped on her toe, but she kept dancing the whole night despite that Gotta admire that

[*MIBabe03*]

I really hope that either Marcia, Teri, or Felicity can take out Debra Messing and Sarah Jessica Parker. I'd be happy if anyone of the three win. Why the heck is Sarah Jessica Parker nominated anyway? Sex and the City is over.

THE GOLDEN GLOBES
'Desperate' nominees
ABC's new dramedy rates five bids, but Eva Longoria is snubbed.
By Scott Collins and Lynn Smith
Times Staff Writers

Dec 14 2004

ABC's "Desperate Housewives" has adultery, murder and suicide. But that's kid's stuff compared to the show's new off-screen mystery: Where's Eva Longoria?

When the 2005 Golden Globe nominations were announced Monday morning, "Desperate Housewives" racked up five nominations from the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., more than any other TV program. Three nods for best actress in a television musical or comedy went to leads Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman, and there was a supporting actress nomination for Nicollette Sheridan, who plays the neighborhood temptress.

In the tally of Globe nominations, "Housewives" propelled once-moribund ABC to second place, behind HBO's 20 but well ahead of NBC, Fox or CBS, which drew six, three and two nominations, respectively.

But voters bestowed no laurels on the "Desperate Housewives" ensemble's fourth principal, the 29-year-old Longoria, who portrays a pampered hottie having a fling with her teenage lawn boy.

"I think we're all a little surprised" by the Longoria shutout, Sheridan said. "I think she's extremely talented."

"Horrible," Hatcher said of the snub. Alluding to Longoria's relative youth, she added: "Maybe they just decided to nominate actresses over 40." (Hatcher is 40, one year younger than Sheridan; Huffman and Cross are both 42.)

Were the foreign journalists who vote on the Globes put off by Longoria's steamy trysts with her school-age gardener? Not likely. Cross and others close to the show theorized that Longoria might have sunk her chances by failing to join her costars at a Globe-sponsored luncheon back in October.

Her publicist said the starlet spent that weekend traveling to Texas to visit a sick aunt, who later died.

"She doesn't regret not going to the lunch at all, because she was very close to her aunt," said spokeswoman Liza Anderson. She said Longoria was working and unavailable for comment Monday, but added: "She's beyond thrilled for her co-workers and friends."

Some observers were surprised by "Housewives' " appearance in the comedy category, which is typically reserved for half-hour series. But as Marc Cherry, executive producer of "Desperate Housewives," said, "The problem with our show is that we're truly a dramedy.

"We have comedy and we have drama, and neither [category] is a perfect fit."

The "Housewives" intrigue wasn't the only Globe surprise Monday. TV insiders were also talking about HBO's showbiz comedy "Entourage," which hasn't delivered large ratings but picked up two nominations. That included a nod for actor Jeremy Piven, who plays an ethically challenged agent.

"Entourage" likely benefited from the fact that network comedies are struggling this season.

Despite the nominations for "Entourage" and "The Sopranos" and HBO films such as "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers," other HBO dramas — "The Wire" and "Six Feet Under" — were left off the list.

HBO Chairman and Chief Executive Chris Albrecht said such disparities resulted in mixed feelings. "You're grateful and proud of the work that got recognized, and surprised and disappointed at the things that didn't."

"Entourage" faces some unusual competition in the "best television series — musical or comedy" category. One of its rivals, HBO's "Sex and the City," has already ended its run. Another, Fox's "Arrested Development," has struggled again this fall even after winning the Emmy for best comedy in September (the category also includes NBC's "Will & Grace" as well as "Housewives").

Fox remains hopeful that "Arrested" can turn the corner.

"Hopefully, the more people talk about the show, the more people will come to the show," Fox Entertainment President Gail Berman said.

With its nominations for "Housewives" and the desert-island thriller "Lost" (cited in the best drama category), ABC was clearly a big winner. It was just the latest breakthrough for a network that was written off as recently as September.

The Globe nominations are "terrific for everyone here," ABC boss Stephen McPherson said.

But for the most part, the Globes again belonged to cable, and especially HBO. The pay network even gained a nomination for "Deadwood" villain Ian McShane, who curiously was not nominated for an Emmy earlier this year despite his widely acclaimed performance.

McShane learned of the nomination while driving to work on "Deadwood's" set near Santa Clarita. "Luckily, I avoided running into Magic Mountain," the actor said.

Among basic cable networks, FX led with six nominations — twice as many as last year. Its plastic-surgery drama "Nip/Tuck" was nominated for best drama for the second time, as was the series' lead actress, Joely Richardson, and Julian McMahon drew a nomination for lead actor. Jamie Foxx also was nominated for his role in "Redemption," an FX original movie.

"This is not just a moment of arrival for us," said FX President John Landgraf.

"I hope it's a midpoint in our growth and development. It's true that we have been trailblazers with putting complicated, conflicted male characters on our network, but that's only the beginning. We hope to become a network that is also known for its female roles and shows and high-quality miniseries and movies."

Times staff writer Maria Elena Fernandez contributed to this report.

I personally think the whole affair thing probably kept her out of the running. I think the writers are making a mistake using a seventeen year old as her lover (they should at least had the guy be eighteen). There is Mary Kay L., and at least two or three other female teachers who have been in the news for seducing minors, and they are either in prison, or going there. How could they nominate her? They'd be putting a stamp of approval on an illegal activity. I don't care that she's having the affair, but I do think it's wrong to have the guy be a minor.

Also, this show was nominated in the "Comedy" catagory? Although very funny at times, I would think it would come closer to being a drama, than a comedy. At least it was nominated. It's my favorite show...

Read what I posted above, Eva couldn't make it to a globe sponsored luncheon a few months ago and that probably hurt her chances, her aunt was dying, that's why she couldn't go.

DH is a DRAMEDY, so it can fall under the drama or comedy category, I remember alot of peoeple asking why Sex and the City was under the comedy category a few times, but it was a dramedy too.

[twinkle44301]

Thanks for posting the article. I still stay it's a bad idea to have a character having an affair with a minor. She may not have been nomiated because she failed to attend a luncheon, but I personally think they should have at least had the kid be eighteen (and it did indeed sink her chances for nomination)...then there would be no consent issues. Depending on the state they are living in, she could be charged and hauled off to jail. In fact, I seem to remember her mentioning when the police arrived that someone must have "turned" her in.

Funny thing is, if she were a man, and he was having an affair with a high-school girl, he be labeled a Pedophile. They could never have made a running joke of this storyline had the older person been a man, and say he was having sex with the teenage babysitter. Wouldn't fly.

As much as I love this show, they need to do something about this kid. She can do the oinky-boinky with whoever she wants, they just need to make this person of legal age. Otherwise, they need to arrest her, and charge her. And to offer up an award for this character, IMO, would be in poor taste.

I'll bet it was tough to figure out where this show belonged (for awards). It's funny, but also serious.

I'm willing to bet that had everything to do with why she wasn't nominated.

[twinkle44301]

I personally think they don't have the guts to come out and say why she really wasn't nominated. The one thing I have found constant (with my friends who watch the show), is that we are all sick of hearing about preditors doing all sorts of horrible things to our children. And this character is a predator. Period. If it were my son (or daughter), I'd be at the police station so fast, and she'd be arrested so fast, her head would spin.

While I love this show, there is a HUGE difference between being morally wrong, and legally wrong. This woman is going to have to be held accountable for having sex with a minor. Granted he's 17, but lots in lots of states, he's not of the age of consent. And I am not talking about having sex with his girlfriend (although if she were 18-it would still be illegal).

No, I'm talking about a 30-something adult having sex with a kid. I find it nasty they would even do such a thing. Have the gardner be 18 or older, and at least it would be so slimey or illegal.

There's nothing funny or amuzing about this storyline, and I believe they sent a strong message to the writers. I just wish they had the guts to admit to why they did it. Would there be anything funny about a 30-something guy having sex with his 17 year old babysitter? No, so this storyline needs to end.
