Golden Predictions 2011
For almost two decades I have been an avid watcher of the Golden Globes, the precursor to Hollywoods holiest of awards shows, the Oscars. Despite the possible implications behind winning an award at the GG's, they always give off a fun, relaxed atmosphere and, of course, the show always promises to showcase the best and worst of red carpet fashion.
On the eve of the 2011 Golden Globes, I wanted to take the opportunity to channel my inner psychic and put out some predictions prior to the awards being presented. These predictions are based solely on information I have stumbled upon in the media over the past months, coupled with my own personal opinions.
Disclaimer(s) - I have not seen the movie 'The Kings Speech', which from what I understand is a strong contender in all categories for which it is nominated.
Golden Predictions 2011! (Film Only)
Best Picture (Drama) - The Social Network
Best Picture (Comedy or Musical) - The Kids Are Alright
Best Director (Overall) - David Fincher, The Social Network

I apologize for the brevity of this post, just wanted to make sure it was properly posted before the actual awards so I'm not tempted to 'cheat' in any way.
I decided I 'win' if I hit 75% or better.
Happy fashion bashing everyone!!!

I don't watch the Golden Globes or Oscars or any of that....which sort of displays my low opinion of the whole Hollywood thing. That said, I believe that 'The Kings Speech' is the best of the lot by far.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the Golden Globes, but my hubby does. I do pop in from time to time, and he gives me snippets of information, but I don't watch it myself, because I get bored watching a bunch of names getting called out for several hours. I hope you enjoyed watching it though.
ReplyDeleteI'm so far behind on last years movies!
