Gold, Gold, Gold

Yes, folks, to prove just how much time I have on my hands these days, I am proud to present my Golden Globe Predictions. Please note that these are based on absolutely no information about most nominees, I have not seen most of the films/tv shows listed, and I tend to go with names I like best rather than careful, well thought out critiques on performances.

So here we go. Remember, you heard it here first! [predicted winners in red]
