Glee's Cinderella story. The musical dramedy raked in four Golden Globe nominations on Tuesday. Fox's freshman series was nominated for Best Television Series (Comedy or Musical) and landed Best Acting nominations for Matthew Morrison  and Lea Michele and a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Jane Lynch. Hot on the heels of Dexter's shocking season finale, and record breaking ratings come nominations for its star Michael C. Hall and his onscreen nemesis John Lithgow. Glee wasn't the only new series to land a Golden Globe nomination. ABC's Modern Family also received one.

The Golden Globes, which give out awards in both TV and film, also showed the love to George Clooney's Up in the Air. It garnered six nominations. Rob Marshall's highly anticipated Nine earned five nominations, while James Cameron's upcoming blockbuster Avatar earned four. Summer hits District 9 and Inglourious Basterds also earned nominations. Comedian and Precious star Mo'Nique received a Best Supporting Actress nomination. Woody Harrelson, who starred in Zombieland and played an important role in 2012, earned recognition for his work in The Messenger.
