When the 2005 Golden Globe nominations were announced last week in L.A., no one was surprised that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association lavished generous kudos on ABC's runaway hit, Desperate Housewives. After all, the shady ladies of Wisteria Lane rock!

Their freshman dramedy racked up a leading five nominations, including best comedy series, best comedy actress for Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman, and best supporting actress for notorious towel-dropper Nicollette Sheridan. But what about Eva Longoria? Her boy-toy lovin' adulteress, Gabrielle, positively puts the Desperate in Housewives. If we were her, we'd be just a little bitter.

"I really don't like to focus on me not getting a nomination," Longoria insists to TV Guide Online. "I like to focus on how all the other girls got nominated. And the show — we've only been on five or six times. We're really blessed, and I'm really excited.

"And," she adds diplomatically, "I don't want to discredit the Hollywood Foreign Press for not picking me because they obviously have good taste, picking the other women. So I'm fine. I didn't expect to get a Golden Globe nomination the first year out. I hoped the show would, and Marcia and Felicity and Nicollette and Teri have all paid their dues. It's well-deserved and very appropriate."
