Golden Globe Predictions 2011: Get the Party Started




Well it's that time of year again. After yesterday's mainstream and baffling list of Screen Actors Guild Award nominees, maybe the Globes will help clear up the picture for the Oscars next month. In the last few years, the Globes have become less and less predictive. They have their own wild tastes (The Tourist? really, really?) so it's still unsure where their allegiances lies this year. One thing we always know for sure. The Globes like their stars. So any chance of getting bigger stars into a room, they're going to take it. So here are my "foolproof" predictions. I'm not predicting a couple big stars so maybe I'll be the one looking like a fool, but here we go.
