Golden Globe Predictions
***made some last minute changes here***
Alright, the HFPA. They like what they like. They've marginalized themselves in the last two or three years as it pertains to "guessing" the Academy's tastes, but that's okay. It's better to have a different set than the same old, same old. That said, this group is still a blatant troupe of starf***ers. They like to fill the tables of the Beverly Hilton with Hollywood's finest, and I guess that's their preogative.
I've gone over the films in contention and come up with as good a set of predictions as any, I suppose. Tomorrow's announcement might not mean a lot in the spread of the Oscar season, but you better believe it'll be the jumpstart for a number of post-Globes parties!
