GOLDEN GLOBE PREDICTIONS!

I tried. They are announced Thursday morning! As always, some categories can have 6 in them, so I added an alternate.

I'd love to see Gretchen Mol, Kirsten Dunst, Matt Damon (for Departed), Emily Blunt and Frances Mcdormand pick up some noms. I doubt much will come for them, though.

Anywho...
