The 2010 Golden Globe Predictions
By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trade News | Comments (36)
The Golden Globes are set to air on Sunday night (we should have an open thread up, so be sure to come back and hang out during the show). Really, the only reason you have for watching it is that it’s one of the rare years where there will actually be a host — Ricky Gervais — and it’s a host that’s probably worth watching, inasmuch as any host presiding over an awards ceremony can be worth watching. Also, sometimes the alcohol flows a little heavily during the GG’s and someone ends up making an ass of him or herself. Plus, it not only offers a preview of the Oscars nominations, but the Oscar speeches, too, as many of the participants don’t bother to alter their acceptance speeches too much (see Mickey Rourke in 2009).
Anyway, here’s a fresh reminder of the nominations, and for my own edification, I’ll bold who I predict will win (whether or not I feel that the movie or actor actually deserves the win). Check back Monday morning for the results, and an opportunity to laugh at all my misses.
