Golden Globe Predictions 2021

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. Hopefully, the virtual format will be interesting. At least Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are funny hosts.  Here are my predictions.
