Globe Predix

So the Globes are tonight, and I'm just realizing now how...I don't know, unusual this race is. I had a moderately hard time predicting these, and honestly I have no idea how the nominations are going to pan out for the Oscars later on this month. Anyways my family and I, every awards season, play this game where we all put $5 in a pot and whoever gets the most winners correct takes the money. Here's hoping:

I'm especially torn on the Actress categories, in film at least. Like Meryl will win something. 'Doubt'? Maybe. I see Anne Hathaway, the starlet taking Drama though. 'Mamma'? I could see that easily. But then I think about Kate Winslet. I'm betting on a Supporting Actress win, even amidst Cruz.

Nobody knows anything...except for Heath.
