Last night, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association sponsored the television broadcast of the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards, and the comedy television winners follow.
Unsurprisingly, 30 Rock made good on its name and rocked the competition with a total of three wins in the usual categories of Best Comedy, Best Lead Actress (Tina Fey), and Best Lead Actor (Alec Baldwin). I think from now on I’ll reserve my surprise for when those three don’t come up victors when they’re nominated.
NOTE: Comedy TV winners are at the top in bold.

Although there were no comedy television nominees in the only supporting actress category — Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television — this year, both Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, CBS) and Jeremy Piven (Entourage, HBO) were nominated in the supporting actor counterpart. The winner was Tom Wilkinson from the HBO production John Adams, however.
