Unfortunately Matthew did not receive an actor nomination, but LOST did for best drama. Congratulations LOST!

I just double checked the official Golden Globes website and they have December 14 listed as the day the nominees will be announced. Sorry for the earlier misinformation. We’re going to have to wait an extra day.

What TV series will receive the Golden Globes’ attention on Dec. 13, when nominations are announced?

I’m hoping the foreign press will be especially inclined toward ABC’s “Ugly Betty.” It would be a kick to see America Ferrera in the lead comedy category, and Vanessa Williams as supporting actress.

I presume that “Desperate Housewives” will gain attention for an improved season. Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross have been the standouts this season. But I hope the housewives don’t take all the slots. Julia Louis-Dreyfus deserves recognition for CBS’ “The New Adventures of Old Christine.”

NBC’s “Heroes” deserves a dramatic series nomination. And Hayden Panettiere is deserving as America’s most famous cheerleader. And why not a supporting nomination for the endearing Masi Oka?

ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” almost certainly will be receiving nominations. Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson are most deserving for their supporting work. But Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey could be contenders after the Emmys snubbed them.

ABC’s “Lost” will probably figure in several categories; Matthew Fox deserves the attention.

And I wouldn’t be surprised to see Sally Field as a drama nominee for her heartfelt work on ABC’s “Sons & Daughters.”

It looks as if it will be a big day for ABC for capturing the country’s imagination with compelling series.
