Netflix Beats CBS/ABC/NBC in Golden Globe Nominations

• http://www.breitbart.com, By DAVID BAUDER
 HBO led all TV networks with nine nominations. Starz and Showtime joined Netflix with six each while CBS and NBC each had five and ABC had four.

Netflix's political series "House of Cards" earned a nomination for best TV drama, while Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright were nominated for their acting in the series. With the release of its inaugural season in February, "House of Cards" represented Netflix's first foray into TV programming. It also earned an Emmy nomination earlier this year, but Netflix is still searching for its first award.

Another Netflix series, "Orange is the New Black," earned Taylor Schilling a nomination for best drama actress. Finally, Jason Bateman earned a comedy nomination for the Netflix remake of "Arrested Development."
 
Starting with HBO a decade ago and continuing with AMC and now non-network programming services, the industry is learning that reputations can be built quickly on the basis of one or two strong shows, said David Bianculli, a former TV critic and professor of television at New Jersey's Rowan University.
