Modern Family: The Complete Second Season

Amazon Price: $15.79 (as of 06/01/2012)Buy Now

Winner of Six Emmy® Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series.

Suprisingly, one box office and one of the most anticipated movie in 2011; Harry Potter series with Deathly Hallow: Part 2, didn't make it onto the list. Seems like Harry already lost some of his magic touch, eh?

Meanwhile, Cars 2, which by some considered as the worst Pixar animated movie of all time, made it into Best Animated Feature Film.
Dunno about you guys, but I at some point I have to disagree with this list.

Rated at 8.2 on IMDB, Deathly Hallow: Part 2 should be on the list while Cars 2, which was sucked and only rated at 6.5, is just doesn't belong there. But yeah, there must be another considerations on creating this Golden Globe Nominations 2012.

    Tough call between Glee and Modern Family, but Sofia Vergara is looking her best in that Indigo blue dress. Wow. I've got pictures posted on my Sofia Vergara lens. Isn't she hot?
