Ha! CBS journo Mark Knoller’s Twitter feed is always informative and entertaining. Thursday morning was no exception as Knoller weighed in on the Golden Globe nominations with his signature deadpan snark.

That’s more like it!
Some pointed out the self-congratulatory nature of journalists:
@markknoller Don't you get to meet enough of them at your posh WH Corr Dinners?

@markknoller Observation: Journalism takes a close second to Hollywood in the self-congratulatory award department.

Heh. But Mark Knoller is not lacking in self-awareness:
@brendan_myers you're right. guilty as charged.

Knoller has called out the press for it before, as Twitchy readers know.
@markknoller You know, I was concerned that we had lost our way as a culture of celebrity worshipping idiots. Good to know that's not true!

And an exit observation from Knoller:
Of the morning shows, CBS, Fox and NBC carrying the Golden Globe nominations live. Guess that means they're important.
