My Golden Globes Predictions

Tonight, Ricky Gervais hosts the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards. The Golden Globes honor both television and film, and are sometimes seen as a predictor for the Oscars. Unlike the Emmys, the Globes look at television over the calender year, rather than the television September-August season.

Here are my predictions for the 16 big awards:

The Nominees:

Black Swan

The Fighter

Inception

The King's Speech

I only saw two, but I thought The King's Speech was phenominal.

What will win:

Black Swan

Best Motion Picture (Comedy/Musical):

The Nominees:

Alice in Wonderland

Burlesque
