The 2009-10 awards season kicked into high gear this morning with the official announcement of the Golden Globe nominations.

Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of TV nominees:

• Freshman drama Glee leads all TV nominations with a total of four - including mentions for Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch. Damages, Dexter, 30 Rock and Big Love all got three noms.
• Although cable television dominated the Best Drama category, the major networks had a tight hold of the Best Comedy category.
• Newbies recognized this year include Courteney Cox (Cougar Town), Thomas Jane (Hung), Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie) and Modern Family.
• Despite big buzz around Emmy time, Big Bang Theory‘s Jim Parsons did not get any love this time around. Meanwhile, Emmy-winner Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) was snubbed as well.
• HBO, once again, leads all channels with 17 nominations. FOX and Showtime both had six each.

The 67th Golden Globe Awards with host Ricky Gervais airs Jan. 17 on NBC.
