This is just an exercise in fun to involve myself in the razzamatazz of these big parties as I'm a bit of a film fan. I hope you will indulge me in this.
First up is the 71st Golden Globe Awards which will be awarded this Sunday (12/1/14).
I'll be using a key to indicate my choices:
- Green for Most Likeliest Winner
- Purple for My Personal Choice
- Orange for Both
I don't pretend to have seen all of these films so some will be complete stabs in the dark, but it's all just a bit of fun. Let me know in the comments if you agree OR disagree!

If I get more than half of these correct I'll be very surprised! The first show, though, often sets the tone for the rest of the season, so I might get better as the season goes on (she says hopefully...). See you on the other side!
