It’s almost time to hand out some more best of the year film awards. This time it’s from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and the Golden Globe Awards. They’re not a perfect precursor to the Oscar nominations or winners, but they’ll at least help us to know more about what those who vote are thinking. Given that the Oscar voters have their ballots to fill out this next week, they’ll be watching the Golden Globes and figuring out which films to watch at home before they send them off. Here are my predictions, and I made a few surprise picks that may or may not come true. We’ll see…
