There are many reasons why I chose what I did. Some of them were just stabs in the dark, particularly in categories where I haven't seen any of the nominated films but with Hollywood, you can make good guesses which film is going to win *coughLincolncoughLesMiscough*. And in the cases where I've highlighted more than one film which I want to win, that means I liked those films enough to want them to win.
Anyway, those are my predictions. We'll find out tonight how well I did... (Results are now in and compared over here!)
What are your predictions for this year's Golden Globes? Let me know!
