Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Drama, Mini Series, Music, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Cable, CBS, FOX, HBO, NBC, Showtime, TNT-HD, 30 Rock, House, The Office,
The Golden Globe contenders for the 2010-11 season were officially announced Tuesday morning in Beverly Hills by Katie Holmes, Josh Duhamel and Blair Underwood.
Last year's Best Comedy Series winner, Glee, lead all television programs with a total of five nominations. Five series -- 30 Rock, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, The Good Wife and Mad Men -- tied for second place with three nods each.
Here are some of the notable omissions/inclusions from this year's list of nominees:
- The Good Wife was the only non-cable series to be recognized for Best Drama.
- The Walking Dead replaced that other horror series (True Blood), giving AMC two nominations in the Drama category.
- The limitations of the Best Supporting Actor category meant only two acting noms for the cast of Modern Family.
- Jennifer Love Hewitt has found herself pitted against Claire Danes ... and Dame Judi Dench.
The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards -- hosted again by Ricky Gervais -- will air Jan. 16 on NBC.

Jeopardy! Champions to Challenge IBM Computer Program
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Games, Syndication, Video,
We would call this contest man versus machine, but Ken Jennings is more superhero than man.
The famed Jeopardy! winner, along with fellow champ Brad Rutter, will test his wits against IBM’s Watson program. Designed by the company’s artificial intelligence team, Watson will take on the two challengers over a three-day contest being held on February 14 though 16.
IBM hosted a similar competition in 1997, when it created a chess-playing computer to compete against champion Garry Kasparov. The computer (Deep Blue) won the six-game match by two games.

Paul Rudd Energizes Saturday Night Live
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Host Paul Rudd was enthusiastic and energetic on Saturday night -- but it’s pretty hard to be down when the immediate prospect of working with Paul McCartney looms on the horizon.
In what will certainly be dubbed as the “Paul-Paul episode,” Rudd was funny and perfectly on point from the word go. Just listen to his hilarious monologue (featuring a surprise musical guest star) in the clip above.

VIDEO: See Metrodome Roof Collapse from Inside Stadium
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, FOX, Video,
Want to know why you didn't get to see the Minnesota Vikings play the New York Giants today? Here's the reason.
The Minneapolis area was hit with over 17 inches of snow, and the city's stadium -- which opened in 1982 -- felt the impact.
When leaks started forming on Saturday (apparently not an unusual event for the structure), the FOX Sports crew decided to leave their cameras rolling. Based on the great footage, their efforts definitely paid off.
The game will now be played Monday night at 7 p.m. ET in Detroit's Ford Field.

Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin’s Sarah Palin Rant
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip,
The caribou-killing episode of Sarah Palin’s Alaska is still making waves in the media, despite Palin’s accusatory, attempted Facebook damage control. Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, who recently penned The Social Network, pulled no punches in a recent rant published by The Huffington Post. He called the reality politician “deranged” and accused her of making “snuff films.”
"Like 95% of the people I know, I don't have a visceral (look it up) problem eating meat or wearing a belt," he wrote. "But like absolutely everybody I know, I don't relish the idea of torturing animals,” Sorkin fired.
