The nominations for the 67th annual Golden Globe Awards were announced today and, as is to be expected, there wasn’t much love for the horror/sci-fi genres. Among the notable omissions are J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek reboot (over $380 mil in worldwide box office) and Oren Peli’s little horror-indie that could Paranormal Activity (over $150 mil worldwide box office), both distributed through Paramount Pictures. Neill Blomkamp’s District 9 did managed to score a nom for Best Screenplay and James Cameron’s smurfs-in-space epic Avatar secured four nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song.

Horror and sci-fi did fare better in the television categories. Showtime’s serial-killer drama “Dexter” and HBO’s vampire serial “True Blood” received nominations for Best Drama and nailed acting noms for their respective leads Anna Paquin and Michael C. Hall. In TV’s supporting actor category, Emmy award-winner Michael Emerson locked down a nom for his portrayal of sinister mastermind Benjamin Linus on ABC’s “Lost.”

The 67th annual Golden Globe Awards will be hosted by actor/comedian Ricky Gervais. NBC will broadcast the show live from the Beverly Hilton on Jan. 17, 2010. For a complete list of nominees, visit the Golden Globes’ website.
