Globe Predictions

I actually have to talk about the Golden Globe nominations effect on the Oscar on Canada's version of Entertainment Tonight tomorrow. I'd like to think that I am on my way to becoming Canada's Dave Karger. The above is a picture of him on the set of the Today responding to the Globe noms two years ago. Also pictured are Ellen Page getting a bouquet of roses from Matt Lauer. I hope that a similar scene happens to me tomorrow but chances are of this happening... are... not... so... great. Sigh!

I love this time of year so much. This week is especially juicy because of daily award and nomination announcements. Yesterday was LA, today Broadcast Critic noms and NY awards, tomorrow Golden Globes, and Thursday SAG noms. It's so much fun for me!

Here are my Golden Globe predictions.
