MY GOLDEN GLOBE PREDICTIONS




This is hard. The Hollywood Foreign Press votes are a little harder to predict than the Academy Awards. At this point I can only make my best guess based on what I know. Some people like to make way off the wall predictions just to be different, but I am too competitive to not play it safe. Some also like to predict an alternative winner, which is really the easy way out if your first guess doesn't win. I am going all in with my picks. Here they are:

  1. Good stuff Matt!
    The Artist doesn't get the justice it deserves, being in the musical/comedy category. And since it will probably win, Bridesmaids gets screwed.
    No matter what though, Ricky will make everyone feel like a loser. Hahaha

  2. I think it's possible Kristen Wig could upset Williams,but my feeling is Williams will win.

    I think Viola will win too!

    The Artist should be in the drama category, but it is on the borderline....

    I think The Help might win in Drama,I'll elaborate more when I do my predictions..
