My Predictions for the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards

Let me start by saying if in today’s age of 3D and D-Box movies, you can create as much intrigue and buzz as silent film The Artist has, you deserve some kind or recognition.
I haven’t seen all of these movies yet, haven’t even had the opportunity to in regards to many of them.  So my predictions are based on the films I have seen, the buzz I’ve heard and read about others, and the previous work that the nominated individuals have done.  Also, during awards season you have to remember that the people who actually vote on these things have probably never been to an actually movie theater and only watch the films they're required to.
I love awards season!
