Golden Globe Predictions








The Golden Globes are hard to predict. There are not that many people voting for this thing. The Hollywood Foreign press has less than 100 members; it’s like Family Feud. The Globes used to be considered a good predictor of the Oscars but lately they’ve been picking completely random people, just to see what they’re going to say. The two things I like most about the Golden Globes is that they try to honour comedies and because of the free alcohol, the winners are often a little tipsy. Looking forward to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler leading the festivities once again. It’s gonna be a fun show. Here’s who I think will win and want to win. Oh yeah, and I don’t do miniseries (but if I were betting, I would probably go for Behind the Candelabra.)

Jacqueline Bisset must of started on the free liquid early! I thought they were going to have to take her off stage with physical force.
