2017 Golden Globes Predictions

The Golden Globes are on this Sunday so it’s time for the Golden Globes guessing game. With less than 100 members voting, it’s pretty much a crapshoot. Last year I got a lousy 56% but at least they honour comedies, the winners are pretty tipsy, and Jimmy Fallon is taking on the hosting duties.  Here’s who I think will win and want to win.
