Is it really that time again? The nominees have been announced for the 72nd Golden Globe Awards, which will be taking place on Sunday, January 11, 2015. While it has become apparent over the last few years that the Golden Globes is much more of a popularity contest than other award shows, I am pretty […]

As I watched tonight’s Golden Globe Awards, I was reminded why I have fallen out of favour with them in recent years. This particular awards show has become increasingly difficult to pick, since the Hollywood Foreign Press Association seems to select these awards out of a hat. They seemed to particularly love American Hustle, which

So, it turns out that the Golden Globes are happening tonight. Even though I’ve cared less and less about the awards in recent years, I still sometimes luck out when predicting what will win. Here are my no-frills predictions, I’ll probably write a more in-depth wrap-up afterwards. Best Picture – Drama: 12 Years a

The nominees for the 70th annual Golden Globes were announced yesterday. As always, I shall give my random thoughts: I’ve only currently seen two films each from the Best Picture Categories. Hopefully that will change by the time of the ceremony. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen really sticks out among the “Best Picture – Musical/Comedy”

Boy was I off. The Golden Globes last night were not an enjoyable watching experience, as I only correctly predicted 4 of the 14 movie awards. Some were slight miscalculations, with my alternate picks ending up willing, while others seemed complete out of left field. The biggest surprise of the night for me was that

This year I decided to write “predictions” in quotes as a way of acknowledging the Golden Globes is a bit of a sham of an awards show. At one time you can say that the Globes were a good way to see who will win at the Oscars. However, in recent years, you have had
