Watching Showtime

(Mary Louise Parker, at the Showtime after party)

While this years’ Golden Globes had it’s share of drama and intrigue (Kate Winslet forgetting Angelina’s name, Renee Zellweger’s dress), none of it centered on Showtime’s stars, who once again walked away with less than they deserved. Despite six nominations in five categories (two for best Actor in a Drama!!), not one Showtime star walked away with a trophy. And while I know it took years for HBO stars to begin to be recognized, I cannot wait for it to be Showtime’s turn!

Below (under the cut, for ease of reading) you’ll find a complete list of the television category, with the winner in bold (thanks to Watching New Celebs).
