Wow! I did much better than I expected!

Well, I do enjoy the Golden Globes. It seems a bit more irreverent than the Oscars and some of the other award shows, while still maintaining its prestige as an achievement for those who win.

So how did you do with your predictions? The next one will be... the BAFTAs I think. A particular favourite if only because I can watch it at a reasonable time, rather than in the middle of the night!
