Golden Globes 2016 Predictions

The Golden Globes are on this Sunday so it’s time for the Golden Globes guessing game. Last year I got a lousy 54%. With less than 100 members voting, it’s pretty much a crapshoot. But at least they honour comedies, the winners are pretty tipsy, and Ricky Gervais is back to host.  Here’s who I think will win and want to win.
