2010: Golden Globes Predictions


Sorry i've been absent yet again, my good and blog contributor Aaron Morales thankfully has gotten home from the hospital after his accident last month, so ive been tied up in the details of that for the last week or two. Theres not much you can say about the Globes. The HFPA are star fuckers, as i've said the last two years, which means they will most likely award a-listers in every category except the supporting ones, Because of this im using a Will/Should win predictions set along with a contender that should have made the cut.
Tonight, if there is but one certainty, it is that Ricky Gervais should be flat out hillarious. Heres hoping he follows through on his promise and shows up inebriated, the show should be a good time for sure.
