AND THE WINNER IS

I really shouldnt but i'm watching the golden globes tonight at like 1am. Its a 4 hour show and the night before the night before an exam that isnt the best success strategy. But anyway i'm all for a good show. I've been watched a few of the movies but my predictions are based on press clips and half assed attepmts at watching some of the movies online.
