We here at Hollywood Crush had some pretty strong opinions about today's 2011 Golden Globe nominations. But there were some other folks who had plenty to say about the praise from the Hollywood Foreign Press: the Golden Globes nominees themselves! The cast of "Glee" had a big morning as they racked up more noms than any other TV show (5 in total!) Best Actress nominee Lea Michele took the opportunity to give kudos to her fellow Gold hopefuls Jane Lynch, Matthew Morrison and Chris Colfer, as she tweeted, "Oh my g-d!!!! So excited, happy, thrilled, and thankful this morning:) What amazing news!! So happy for our show, Jane, matt & chris too!!!!" Thrilled first-time nominee Chris followed suit and posted, "OMGG! I can't believe it! Am I awake? OUCH! Yes, I'm awake! I'm going to obnoxiously tackle everyone I see today!"
"Glee" has some serious competition in the equally-beloved "Modern Family." The two shows will face off in acting categories, as well as the big one: Best Television Series, Comedy or Musical. The "Modern Family" cast showed each other a different kind of love, like nominee Eric Stonestreet who jokingly wrote to his on-screen brood, "honored and grateful. we ARE an ensemble over there. ANY1 of us deserves 2 b nominated. But IN YOUR FACE @STARRINGRICO AND @NOLAN_GOULD!" Hilarious youngster Nolan Gould was a good sport about it as he wrote back, "@ericstonestreet You are the man! Can I at least come over and dust all your trophies for you?"
But, for anyone hoping for a "Glee"/"Modern Family" rivalry, you'll be disappointed. In fact, both casts are super supportive of each other. Just check out Jesse Tyler Ferguson's tweet to Chris Colfer, "Of course my alliance is with my TV lover but I am tickled pink about @chriscolfer and his Golden Globe nomination today!" and his response, which read, "@jessetyler You are so sweet and I'm also siding with you guys!"
