Pushing Daisies, that is.The facts are these: This morning the ABC show received three 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards nominations, including Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical, and lead actor and actress nods for Lee Pace and Anna Friel (pictured at right).
Not bad for a somewhat struggling, ratings-wise, yet completely enjoyable first-year offering.
On the film front, Joe Wright’s period romance Atonement, a best drama nominee starring nominees James McAvoy and Keira Knightley, led the pack with seven nominations.
Waitress was shut out of the competition, scoring bubkes for star Keri Russell or the late Adrienne Shelly’s screenplay. So not sweet.
And – shocker of shockers – Charlie Wilson’s War was nominated in the Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical category.
I thought the movie was about the a group of people that banded together to help Afghanistan rid itself of the Soviet Union by supplying them with fire power.
I didn’t know think hilarity ensued.
Anyway, No Country for Old Men and Michael Clayton continued doing well, while American Gangster, Eastern Promises, and out-of-leftfield nominee The Great Debaters regained or, in the last’s case, gained some traction.

Now go watch Pushing Daisies.
