Golden Globes

[Champion of Europa]

I thought I'd get the ball rolling here. They're TONIGHT. Here are my picks, lifted directly from my Facebook.

EDITED SO EVERYONE CAN SEE THE NOMINEES

I'm doing these before the show. These probably won't differ much from my Oscar picks, which is why a lot of these will be wrong, probably. I can predict the Oscars, Golden Globes are a bit more difficult, cause they're voted on by people who really have no clout in Hollywood, except for The Globes.
