I'm glad to see Glee getting some recognition. That show is hilarious, daring, edgy- and the musical numbers are fab!

Happy to see A Serious Man in there, sad to not see Basterds.

The Hangover? Get outta here...

The fact that Breaking Bad is not included is unacceptable.

Glee and The Hangover :)
The Big Bang Theory...ehhh

OR Dexter. What the fuck? Fail.

Dexter should have got a nod this year, it was spectacular.

I like The Hangover on the list though, such a funny movie.

Agree with NE about Glee - Glad that it's getting recognition. LOVE that show. Same with True Blood.

Also very happy to see Coraline getting recognition. Fantastic movie.
