Meanwhile, "Boardwalk" receives the two nods in Dramatic Series, one for Martin Scorsese who directed the pilot and the other for Allen Couter who directed the 11th episode called "Paris Green". Scorsese had received 8 DGA nominations but this is his first in TV.

ABC is also making it a competition through "Modern Family". Taking nods for Steve Levitan and Michael Spiller, the comedy will compete with episodic directors of "30 Rock", "Glee" and "Entourage". This is not "Modern" 's first nomination because it won the category last year.

The DGA is also honoring other categories such as commercials, musical variety and children's programs. The complete nominations are available at DGA.org. The ceremony to announce the winners would be held on January 29 in Grand Ballroom at Hollywood and Highland.

"Whether it's a 30-second commercial or a multi-part miniseries, television directors are crucial to the success of any television project," DGA persident Taylor Hackford said. "As the DGA celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, we salute the critical role of the director in TV and are proud to honor the tremendous range of excellence found in the projects nominated today. Congratulations to all of the nominees."

'Glee' Will Inject A Dose of Blondes into Its Second Season

'Glee' Will Inject A Dose of Blondes into Its Second Season

"Glee" will inject a dose of blondes into its second season. Gwyneth Paltrow is confirmed to return for not only one but two episodes as Holly Holliday. Meanwhile, Lady GaGa has allowed the show to use her song "Born This Way" and Kristin Chenoweth is back as April Rhodes for a multi-episode arc.

On Paltrow's return, co-creator Ryan Murphy said, "Gwyneth is coming back for two episodes. She's coming back specifically to date Will. Those two have become really good friends in real life and had really good chemistry. She's coming back as a sex education teacher."

"Gwyneth and I are emailing, talking every week: What are we gonna sing? We're trying to do something fantastic. So she'll be [in episodes] 15 and 16. She comes back [to film] in January and she's with us for three and a half weeks I think."

Regarding GaGa's not-yet-released song, it is used in either a March or April episode which centers on Karofsky. Murphy added, "I love that that song is anthem. This show is by nature optimistic and I think a character like Karofsky could turn to booze or pills or alcohol and kill themselves or do something dark."

"But I also love Max and I love that character and I sorta want that character to have a happy ending. So I don't really know what that's going to be, but I do know we're going to do a whole episode that's about that song."

Meanwhile, Chenoweth will be recurring once again as the ex Glee member in "the last batch of episodes of the season", EW reported.

In the last piece of news, Justin Bieber tribute episode is not going to happen but his song will indeed be used. "Those [tributes] are reserved for artists with big catalogs," Murphy said, adding "Bieber comes up in episode 13 as a small plot point. Sam sings a JB song to win Quinn's approval."

'V' Will Come Back with More Story

'V' Will Come Back with More Story

"V" will come back with more story about the ruler before Anna. In "Serpent's Tooth", Anna and Diana square off in the dark bowels of the Mothership, Diana has been down there for 15 years and not had a single glimpse of Anna.

TV Guide asked Morena Baccarin who plays Anna to interview Jane Badler who plays her on-screen mom Diana. Baccarin asked, "Who do you think would win in a fight for the throne? You or me?" Badler answered, "I think we are incredibly evenly matched, which is why it's so exciting."

Meanwhile, Erica has Tyler's blood analyzed, and learns the V's did something sinister to her when she was pregnant with him. "There is far more action and there is far more of what you want in an alien-invasion story, where the aliens are out to use us as food and take our technology and do everything bad you can think about," Elizabeth Mitchell revealed to EW.

"Serpent's Tooth" airs January 11 on ABC.
