There has been plenty of buzz since the announcement this morning about who was surprisingly not nominated.

To the surprise of critics, "Mad Men" was shockingly left out of the Best Drama Series category. "Games of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage was not included in the Best Supporting Actor category, which he won last year. "Louie," despite garnering critical acclaim, was not nominated for Best Comedy Series.

There has been criticism for big screen films "Anna Karenina "and "Cloud Atlas" starring Tom Hanks and Halle Berry not scoring any nominations.

The 70th Annual Golden Globes will be hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. It will be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills and air live on Sun., Jan. 13, 2013 at 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST on NBC.
